shag rug

Deep-pile floor covering

A shag rug is a rug or carpet with a deep, thick pile that creates a soft, shaggy texture.

The long fibers give it a plush, somewhat disheveled appearance.

Shag rugs were especially popular in home décor during the 1960s and 70s: The living room still had the original orange shag rug from 1972.
