the shag rug has come a long way since moustaches, visible chest hair, and mood rings were in vogue. i appreciate that it invites you to take off your shoes & stay a while. today is all about exploring the contemporary possibilities with this 3 dimensional approach to floor covering.
(luscious silk shags can be found at peddada )
(a large collection of shag rugs with interesting patterns & colors woven in ~ including 100% custom rugs ~ made at woven accents )
(the seagrass line at nani-marquina is all about the retro lush)
(the sg poly rugs from kymo flooring are 100% polyester)
and some nice contemporary rooms utilizing the shag to add comfort & softness:

Well, it definitely looks like "shag" redefined (I'm not going down that road.) Moving on, these are really great looking. I tend to like the ones with the very thin, silky, threads. I wish I could use one in the kitchen, probably the worst place to use one. On the other hand, drops, crumbs, and whatever would probably never be seen again anyway!
ha ~ funny susan! i suppose a synthetic fiber shag in a kitchen could be a great solution. not only for hiding crumbs, but if you're a big cook/baker and on your feet a lot it would be more comfy to stand on a soft shag than on wood or tile or even marmoleum. be dedicated to give your kitchen shag a daily shake out the side door or window & you might just have a grand new concept. ;o)
