Non shed shaggy rugs are hugely popular right now. Leading up to – and since – Modern Style Rugs featuring on ITV.com’s makeover show on the 11th of September 09, sales of our non shed shaggy rugs have seen a significant increase.

This type of rug has always been popular with our customers all over the world and we’re proud to be able to offer a vast selection of shaggy rugs in many sizes and colours to suit every project and every home.

During the televised show we used one of our purple shaggy rugs to enhance the living space of a home. Alongside dark purples and striking whites, our rug added the finishing touch of stylish luxury which helped transform an every-day home into a beautiful space.

This particular range of rugs is sourced from the United Arab Emirates, making them one of the most luxurious rugs in our range.

The production quality is simply excellent and contributes significantly to adding a touch of class and style to even the most basic of spaces.

If you’re looking for a high quality rug, our non shed shaggy rugs meet the highest standards:

  • made with 100% heatset frisee polypropylene pile (2 ply)

Modern Style Rugs Featured on ITV.com

itv-logoModern Style Rugs was recently featured on ITV.com’s make over show. The online rug shop is known for it’s vast selection of quality rugs from all over the world.

The episode, which aired on 11 September 09, followed the make over team as they transformed the main rooms of a house in Blackpool.

In keeping with the theme of the show, each episode sees the make over team meet a challenge in which they must redecorate a real home. The team’s aim is always to excel and impress by transforming the living space from the generally average ‘lived-in’ look into the kind of appealing and desirable space valued highest by real estate agents.

To achieve this, the team have at their disposal the best tradesmen and suppliers in the region.

The rug we used in the makeover

Naturally, when it came to using high quality rugs, Modern Style Rugs was the obvious choice. The chosen rug for the makeover was an excellent non shed shaggy rug which is very popular at the moment (see image).

Why Use an Online Rug Shop instead of a local Carpet Shop?

Despite the fact that Modern Style Rugs is an online rug shop rather than a brick and mortar company, and the fact that there are carpet shops (some of them established locally for years) all over the region, the benefits of using Modern Style Rugs as one of the key suppliers in the home makeover are overwhelmingly in favour of the online shop.

Some of the main reasons for using Modern Style Rugs are:

  • they have a vast selection of rugs
  • they love what they do and they know their rugs inside out
  • they only deal with very high quality rugs
  • they deliver quality rugs sourced from various countries, adding to their variety
  • they’re based in the UK and deliver all over the world
  • their customer service is both friendly and helpful
  • they make the buying process safe, easy and fast

The above points are just some of the reasons why using Modern Style Rugs as the rug supplier of choice is a smart decision.

As consumers we all want our shopping experience to be fast, secure and enjoyable, and we want be made to feel like our custom is appreciated. When this experience can be delivered, as is the case with Modern Style Rugs, then even the strongest loyalty can be swayed.

The online rug shop is scheduled to be featured in other tv shows in the near future . Watch this space!

Does anyone have any tips for taking dog/cat hair out of carpets and rugs?

September 20, 2009 by · 1 Comment 

Discovered by accident today that those mitts you get for brushing dogs with (plastic peaks on one side and leather on the other), are brilliant at doing this. Does anyone have any other tips?

Sorry, I should have said that I’ve used all the usual methods, hoovering, sellotape etc and found the dog mitt got even more hair out.
