Things To Know About Faux Fur Area Rugs

By Gary Jackson


Sometimes the only thing we need to make something beautiful, whether it be a room or an entire house will be a bit of imagination, skill, and the right materials. This will of course either be very expensive, very affordable or very cheap depending on the materials and inputs that we use. A good affordable decorative material that we can use in any make over, are faux fur area rugs. If you are thinking of using these, then do read on.

Before digging into your pockets and using your hard earned money to buy anything, it is best to know the relative advantages and disadvantages of buying whatever it is that you are buying. Being fully armed to the teeth regarding anything you buy will make sure that you get what is due to you and that you make a more informed decision.

Look out for ones that are made of fine acrylic fibers, meaning get rugs made out of this material. This will ensure that it will not release a lot of fiber when it is stroked or handled. Read also the material label to know what it is made of but be aware that sometimes faux rugs will contain a bit of either dog or cat fur.

Many designs are available should you choose to use false rugs and such, and alongside these designs are also varied sizes and shapes. Animal designs that are quite popular include but are not limited to zebra, leopard, bear, fox, chinchilla and mink. Whatever you choose, it must perfectly contrast or blend in with your room design to garner maximum effect. Also, do not place these on walls as many are wont to do, as they are really designed for the floor.

The most obvious reason why these rugs are more advantageous and practical is that they do not involve killing any living animal so your conscience will be free. In addition they are a lot easier to maintain, as they are washable and will not exude any stink if properly washed and taken cared of. In addition they are more durable and can resist wear and tear unlike the real one. Additionally they are moth resistant and in general are hypoallergenic as they do not contain any residual dander and such.

You will be spoilt for choice in choosing designs and shapes and sizes as they are flexible n this regard. If you don see the size or shape you want it is very easy to have one custom made for you. This sort of flexibility is what makes it a popular choice not only for novice decorators but for seasoned ones as well.

Most probably the best thing about it is the price. Compared to the real thing it is way much cheaper, and you can buy it online and have it shipped anywhere in the world. The advantage of having this shipped worldwide without any wildlife clearances and bonuses is an added boon.

Remember that it is for decorative purposes only and will not provide warmth if used. It will also freeze and crack in extreme cold and the cheaper low quality rugs will tend to feel like cotton rather than fur in the long run. Sadly it may not be as eco friendly a you may think as it is not biodegradable.
