I know that’s a lovely color isn’t it? I don’t think that is available online. I wish I could remember the manufacturer for you. Mind you carpet samples are often very different in reality from the colors you see on a computer monitor. That’s just a general problem with color online. Your best bet is to go to your local carpet store when looking for carpet samples as they usually have many colors and you see the true colors in natural light.

You basically need a vacuum with a beater bar but without harsh brushes. You’ll find lots of help here http://www.thefloorpro.com/community/carpet-q-and-a/7162-is-possible-vacuum-frieze-without-damaging.html

Hi Scott

The easiest way to find what you are looking for is to hunt around the local carpet stores and ask the sales guys if they sell the kind of carpet you are looking for and to let you know when they have a remnant available. The more flexible you are in your requirement the easier it is. Red is not the most common color for wall to wall carpets so you may find it is quicker looking for a solid red area rug.

Binding rugs professionally should not be done by hand. Purchasing do it yourself kits will cost exponentially more and your color choices are very limited. Suggestion? Call a local installer who can bind your area rug for about $1-2 per foot. No labor, no spending $100 on the DIY kit+ cost of tapes and shipping. 10×10 area rug will cost you about $100 with no aggravation and an EXACT color match.

Hi Catherine

You can buy cheap shag rugs online in every color. Here is a page of purple shag rugs which may suit you including one for less than $30. Be careful when buying, that your bargain does not look too cheap as well as not costing too much. That one looks quite good however especially as it is a flokati rug and made of 100% wool.

Now if you are looking for wall to wall shag pile, that is different, as you are then better off to buy locally where you can feel the quality of what you are getting. Try the bigger carpet warehouse chains to see if they have what you are looking for or ask them what they can order for you and the total price including carpet installation.

Hi Jo

I found light pink shag rugs at overstock.com uk site but I can’t see the U.S. version (I’m not sure where you are). Also, I’m not sure if we are thinking f the same color as mauve to me is the same as lilac (light purple) Do you mean the blue-pink shade that is a cross between light pink and lilac? The other thing to try is the rug stockists and those offering catalogs at the back of interior design magazines. You could give them a call and see if they could help.
