Well it has been a while since I have gone with a shag rug.  But I am happy with how my living room turned out for Christmas with this rug adding warmth and neutralizing a lot of the orange tones in the wood.  I am very pleased.  I also wanted to include a pic of the shag runner that I placed in my hallway.  It’s keeping our feet warm and neutralizes the tones of the wood.  The prices were so reasonable.  Way fair makes decorating fun and affordable.
