I mean, think about it, your rug dictates what the rest of the room looks like doesn't it? If you want a jungle theme, you're not buying a red shag rug. If you wanted a traditional study, pink is out. Patterns on your rugs can make or break the design of the room faster than any yard sale trinket or ebay find.
But back to patriotism and and the fourth - Betsy Ross is credited as the designer of the American flag. She sat down with George Washington and figured out a general pattern for the flag, which had many stages before it was really decided upon in late 1777. Betsy Ross first input to the American Flag was the stars. George Washington wanted six pointed stars, Betsy showed him five pointed stars would work a whole lot better. Here's where you can put a little history into your room's presentation.
Find a rug with stars in it - five pointed ones to be specific. Look for contemporary rugs, that's your best bet. Momeni and Oriental Weavers are great providers of these styles.
If you aren't a fan of star, or stripes, then Anji Bamboo Mountain has a red shag rug that would work perfect as a balancer for all the other smaller decorations that you're going to have around your room. Simple is always better. You've had enough to do and it's time to relax. Have a great, happy and safe Fourth of July and we'll see you on the other side of the fireworks.
