This shag wall hanging would look gorgeous in a living room, bedroom, or even a kid’s playroom or nursery. The overall design is fairly neutral, but you can always switch up the colors to complement your home decor. Also, if you’re not quite ready to recreate this design, you can browse the rest of our wall hangings to find a simpler version.
