You Need to Avoid These Interior Design Mistakes at All Costs

Shag Carpeting is a Thing of the Past

Shag carpeting was on its way out when your parents graduated high school. Nowadays, the only carpet you should have is the rug you willingly place down as an accent piece. It may feel good between your toes, but shag carpeting is totally out of the market...

What Came After Shag

Shag carpeting disappeared because it's gaudy, it takes up too much space, it sheds, and it's impossible to clean. If you like the look of shag carpeting in your space, but don't want to go through the emotional turmoil that your friends (and the world) will subject you to, just get a different kind of rug. You can find accent pieces that have a similar look, but won't make you feel like you're one of those people that thinks that the 1960s was the time that you should have been born, man.
