Shag rugs are more than a chic addition to any room. Thanks to their high-pile makeup and fluffy, flokati-like texture, shag rugs provide a soft, warm landing for your bare feet.
While it’s hard to resist the softness and tactile appeal of shag rugs, most people don’t enjoy the level of commitment required to keep them nice and pristine. Because of the long fibers that collect more dust and dirt—and vacuuming frequently isn’t always enough—keeping your shag rugs clean can be tough. It doesn’t help if you have pets and kids at home.
If you’ve been putting off your shag rug dreams for this exact reason, you’ll be happy to know that Ruggable now offers a washable shag rug that gives you all the features you love—without the typical upkeep challenges you’d expect from owning one. Here are just a few reasons why you’ll love Ruggable’s new Shag Rugs!
1. Ruggable Shag Rugs are easy to clean and machine-washable.
Remember that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you first sink your bare feet into that luxurious, shaggy pile? How about that bloodcurdling moment when you accidentally spilled red wine on your newly placed shag? Yup, we feel you. Such is the polarity of owning something beautiful.
But don’t you worry. Just like our other rug textures, Ruggable’s Shag Rugs are made of lightweight and durable textile fibers that are able to withstand the machine washing without losing their quality. This ability to wash your rug is a godsend, especially if you have pets and/or kids at home or are particularly susceptible to dust, dander, and other allergens.
When it’s time for a wash, simply remove the Rug Cover from the Rug Pad, toss the Cover into the washer and dryer, and voila—good as new; no professional cleaning required!
2. They are stain- and water-resistant, too.

For some people, red wine spills usually mark the end of a rug’s life. For others, it’s one pet accident after the other. No matter what your rug threshold is, our rugs are designed with a textile blend that’s naturally stain-resistant, and with a water-resistant layer that helps keep spills from leaking through the Rug Cover. This means all our rugs, including our shag rugs, will hold up exceptionally well to spills, stains, and even pet accidents.
3. They’re just as soft as wool, without the itchy feel.
Our shag rugs are made of a flokati-like material that feels smooth to the touch—never scratchy or itchy! And as an added bonus, it’s shed-resistant, too. So you’ll enjoy the same level of luxury, warmth, and softness you’d expect from wool shag rugs without that wool sweater-y feel.
4. They complement every design aesthetic.

Our shag rugs offer an eye-catching accent to any room in your home and come in for versatile colors to complement your decor style.
For that chic, luxurious look, our Egret White Shag Rug offers a bright backdrop that ties all your decor pieces together. And because our white shag rug is machine-washable, you’ll never have to worry about dirt, spills, or stains again.
For a more pared-down look, opt for our Light Grey Shag Rug or Antique Ivory Shag Rag, which tastefully complements any room theme, from minimalistic to classic to eclectic.
If you’re looking to make a statement, our Soft Pink Shag Rug is perfectly on-trend and will add a bit of warmth and cheer to your space.
5. They’re interchangeable and great for layering.
If you already own one of our Rug Systems, you’ll love the fact that you can use any same-size Rug Pad with our Shag Rug Covers. That’s the beauty of Ruggable rugs! So feel free to switch up your lower-pile Rug Covers for a shag one when you want a more luxurious look and see how that one simple tweak can change the overall mood of your room. Or if you’re looking to add more texture and style to your space, try layering one of our shag rugs on top of a low-pile rug.

Will the shag rugs come in 6×9 or larger sizes? Would love to have both colors
I was so excited to order the shag carpet but saw that it does not come in an 8×10. Any chance these will be made in an 8 x 10 in the future?
We don’t have any new sizes planned at this time, Christy, but we are happy to note your interest in larger sizes being added to our Shag Collection!📝
Love love love my shag rug! Hoping more new textures will come out
We are so glad you like your rug, Stasha! We will note your feedback about additional textures.✍♥
Hi, I have the Sarrah Hazel Rug 8×10 in my oversized bedroom. I am going to be moving the rug from under the bed (it is currently partially under the bed) to the sitting area and I was wondering if you have any ideas as to what I could now put under the bed. Maybe a shag? Or another Sarrah Hazel ? Looking for ideas to put 2 rugs in one oversized bedroom.
Could you please tell me if Ruggable rugs work on carpet?
I have a white carpet with small stains and I need to cover it with a runner rug from kitchen to lounge room. Thank You.
Great question, Jillian, thank you for your interest in our rugs!
Our Ruggable Rug System is intended for and has the most effective grip on hard surfaces. While many customers successfully use Ruggable Rug Systems on carpeted floors, carpeting reduces the effectiveness of its grip.
Customers who have placed their Rug System on carpeted floors have seen the best results when the rug is anchored with a sofa or heavy table and away from heavy traffic areas.
We hope this insight and information helps you determine if Ruggable is a good fit for your home!
