Shades Of Grey Handcrafted Shag Rug See Available Sizes
The Shades of Grey Handcrafted Shag Rug is a rectangular high-pile area rug made from a cotton-wool blend, handwoven in India with artisanal methods that produce a variegated, mottled grey surface of mixed light and dark fibres. It is used as a floor covering to add texture and warmth to living rooms, bedrooms, and other interior spaces; a rug pad is recommended for greater safety and to reduce slipping. Each rug is unique and may vary slightly from the photo in colour and texture due to its natural fibres, and it is available in multiple sizes.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Shades Of Grey Handcrafted Shag Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a handcrafted shag rug in natural fibres—an 80% wool, 20% cotton blend handmade in India—whose mix of light and dark grey yarns creates a variegated, textured look the brand says adds character to any room. It comes in Slate Grey only, in three sizes (150x240 cm, 240x300 cm, and 275x365 cm), each with a woven backing and stitched edge binding. Because it is artisanally woven, every rug is unique and may vary slightly from the photo in colour and texture, and the merchant recommends a rug pad for greater safety.[1,2] | Paved Texture Shag Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a soft, plush high-pile shag with a subtle raised brick-like grid pattern and a warm neutral ecru/linen palette that the retailer describes as easy to match with contemporary decor. It is made of a wool, polyester, and polypropylene blend (shown in a 160 x 230 cm size) with a tightly woven fabric backing and narrow stitched binding, and the retailer notes the blend creates a durable yet elegant design. Note that the retailer recommends using a rug pad for greater safety, and the shag surface is described as fluffy and uneven in tuft heights, with softness based on visual impressions rather than tactile testing.[3,4,5,6] | Wispy Shag Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a plush, high-pile shag in a misty light grey and cream blend to add softness and warmth to a contemporary living room, bedroom, or family room — its long, fluffy tufts are described as luxurious underfoot and inviting to touch. Made of easy-care, durable, stain-resistant polypropylene with a colourfast, fade-resistant pile, it is safe for heated floors (a rug pad is recommended for safety) and comes in roughly 160x230 cm and 240x320 cm sizes. One caveat from reported customer experiences: the woven border may appear only on the longer side, leaving shorter edges unfinished, which could matter if all sides of the rug are visible in your space.[7,8,9] |
