Horn birds and beautiful lithe teak cats. Vintage vinyl chairs bought on eBay. ‘To me vintage is the beauty of craft and industrial design from other era and countries. I love that vintage wares are still intact after so many years. They are often better made and I enjoy the patina of wear and age. It is very satisfying to find a new delight to add to my different collections’, Victoria shares. Photo – Caitlin Mills. Styling – Annie Portelli.

Victoria McKenzie’s home tells many stories. The NZ-born set dresser moved to Australia in 2001 with ‘little more than her collection of handwoven baskets and shell necklaces.’ The exacting design eye that landed her the role of head of set dressing for The Lord of the Rings (!!!) is also on full display in this stunning mid-century home in Caulfield North. 

Prior to moving into this home (relocating from a rental just across the street – Victoria loves the area!) she had the lounge/dining and hallway wooden floors sanded and polished, and painted the vinyl wallpaper in the master bedroom with Dulux Integrity. A fresh set for Victoria to dress, with her incredible collection of objects and artworks from across the globe. 

The 1930s house initially didn’t appeal to Victoria, but after being convinced by a friend to take a peek in the windows, and when she discovered the late 1960s makeover within, was completely sold! She describes, ‘…and that was before I ran to the back of the house and discovered the garden, the porch and the sunroom extension with its wild tiles and built-in cupboards. I was completely beside myself and just had to move in!’ 

Victoria’s inventiveness, resourcefulness and artistry are on display in every corner of her home. Burnt orange drapes from the op shop are matched with 60’s orange carpet patches that Victoria paid her old landlord $100 to cut two large pieces out of the floor with a Stanley knife. Dulux Oolong and Beige Royal in the bungalow work with the colour of the lino, and the floating shelves in the sewing room offer a perfect display space for her Pacific Island doll collection. Victoria’s favourite piece in the house is her black vinyl four-seater couch with orange wool cushion seats, from Lost and Found Market in Collingwood.

Victoria explains ‘my home reflects the reverence I have for things handmade from natural materials. Nothing is new, everything is vintage, and I do love to see collections of objects en masse.’ She highlights that while the home is full, it doesn’t feel cluttered as the tonal groupings, plants and large windows provide an open and light feel. 

Victoria draws attention to the 50-year-old sunroom wallpaper print of ferns, calla lily, kentia palm, marguerite daisy, snowdrops, ivy, and fan palms, and she enthuses ‘I could not ask for a better backdrop to my flax basket collection and shell necklaces!’ With her collections of carved wood birds, hula skirts, straw paintings, tapa cloths, glass animals (just the tip of the iceberg of Victoria’s interests), this home is a true bowerbird’s delight, and a fitting residence for one exceptionally creative character!

I love flokati rugs. I bought a large one in the ’70s while living in Berlin, Germany. Our pomeranian [Brandy] liked it too much for all the wrong reasons. I digress…

This is a single pelt (2′ x 3′, Natural Ivory Fur Shag) sourced from Australia and New Zealand. The pelts sold on Amazon.com are a by-product of the down-under meat industry. I know I will enjoy this rug on the Xtreme’s floor vinyl plank floor.

Shag Rug Types For Home Decor

Shag Rug Types For Your Home Decoration

Things to consider before buying a shag rug, here we have described the shag rug types. The shag rug is the perfect choice to decorate your living space.

Flokati Shag Rug

Flokati rugs online are the type of handmade wool rug which traditionally made in Greece country. These designer rugs are usually a white and cream color. But they can be dyed into multiple color schemes. They are 100% wool, including the rug backing.

Flokati rugs are one of the fluffiest types of shag pile rugs online. The floor rugs are very much like a sheepdog because they dirty easily and quickly have to be cleaned and brushed often.

To maintain the soft, fluffy look of a Flokati rug, you should clean it on a regular basis-before it even gets dirty. If not, it will get messy, matted, and stained to the point where you’ll never clean it back into the original look of area rugs Australia.

Wool Shag Rugs

There are two main types of wool shag rug such are “noodles” and “shaggy”

The designer rugs displayed above and below are “noodle” rugs. The thick wool fibers in the shape of noodles make an especially soft, luxurious rug. But the softness comes at a price. The soft fibers attract pretty much anything a feather duster can. Dirt, dust, hair, and any other particle that sticks is more than likely sitting in your noodle rug.

Another type of wool shag rug is the “shaggy” wool rug. In the shaggy rugs, the fibers are a lot thinner and closer together than the noodles (noodle rug).

The cheap shag rugs online Australia available at OZ rugs Australia are hand-knotted with 100% natural wool. These types of rugs a million are significantly easier to clean than the fluffier versions above. Because the knots of the kmart rug are very close together, that making it more difficult for dirt and dust to slip through the cracks.

This type of shag rug is easier to care for and durable, but it is sometimes more expensive than the traditional low pile rug. OZ rug carries many types of hand-tufted shag area rugs in a reasonably smaller size, which makes the price lower on this type of luxury shag rug. However, if you’re getting a large shag rug with high quality, the price quickly adds up.

Leather Shag Rug

Personally, I don’t like the look of leather shag rugs online. They look like crumpled up paper masquerading as a rug:

As much as I personally don’t like them, these shag rugs are somewhat easier to clean than other area rugs. Because you can use leather cleaner on leather shag rugs. These Kmart rugs, however, can be pricey based on brand and quality of leather, and not pet-friendly… or in general, life-friendly.

You should place leather shag rug strategically so that it won’t be in a high-traffic area in your home. Place it where it won’t come in contact with liquids, foods, and pets. Mostly leather shag rugs are likely a wedding cake, you can look at it but don’t touch it or you’ll ruin it.

Is it worth it? That’s just up to you.

Acrylic Shag Rug

These Acrylic shag rugs not only look cheaper than wool. These spotlight rugs are actually a danger to your home.

Because Acrylic rugs are highly flammable, so we don’t recommend putting them in living space at home.

Synthetic Shag Rug

However synthetic shag rug is not the best quality area rug. But they can be somewhat easier to clean because unlike wool, they can handle a steam cleaner, at least a few times. They will still not last very long due to low-quality materials. So I don’t prefer these area rugs.

Where To Buy Rugs Online

So if you are searching to buy shag rugs online Australia then visit only trusted Rug Stores. OZ design rugs is also a prominent rug store in Australia. The Rug Store has a large selection of designer rugs for sale such as Modern rug, Moroccan Rug, Overdyed rugs, Gabbeh rug, Persian rugs and much more at best price with free shipping in Australia.
