How A Faux Fur Rug Can Work For You

By Roger Cooper


Being able to properly decorate an interior space is most definitely an art. A faux fur rug can add a lot of value to the aesthetics of a space, especially when used strategically. There are many different ways to use an item like this to achieve a desired effect. There are also a number of benefits to using this particular type of product instead of its alternatives.

Faux fur is also known as fake or synthetic fur. It costs a lot less than real fur, naturally, and therefore is a much more desirable material by default for many. Technology has come so far that it is very difficult to tell the difference between fake fur and real fur nowadays in products like these, and anyone can easily be fooled into thinking a fake fur rug is real. Truth be told, fake fur offers a much wider variety of options as well.

There is no end of the list of options when it comes to size, shape and color of a fake fur rug. There are very realistic styles that are almost exactly like the fur of an animal. Rugs can imitate the hair of a fox, bear, mink, tiger, leopard, chinchilla or zebra. That being said, it's only natural that the more realistic the rug, the more it will cost.

When speaking about faux fur, it must be mentioned that one of the major benefits is, of course, distancing yourself from the harmful practices of acquiring real animal hides. If you are a supported of animal rights, then this is an option for you that allows you get the desired effect without worrying about the torture of any animals in the process. Additionally, maintaining a carpet of real animal fur is much more demanding than purchasing one made of synthetic materials.

Synthetic fur can be made to any size or shape you desire. This means that you can use a rug as an accent in a space or you can purchase an area rug instead. Accent rugs are smaller and tend to focus on a specific part of the room or a specific piece of furniture. For example, you can place an accent rug at the foot of your bed or under a coffee table.

Use an accent rug to add some color to a space. This is a great idea if you have a special theme or color palette in mind. Synthetic materials are easy to dye, so you won't be short of options when it comes to finding a specific color. You can use a colorful rug in your children's room or play room, or if you have a retro theme or monochromatic scheme to bring life to.

Area rugs are much larger and therefore must be placed strategically for balance. Proportions are key when it comes to using an area rug, so taking the correct measurements is a must. As well as the size, the shape of the piece in question is also very important. Rugs come in all sorts of shapes, from ovals, circles, squares and rectangles to other more creative styles.

Cleaning instructions are usually included and should be followed carefully, so that the product lasts longer. Synthetic materials can be washed by hand or machine, but this should be done with a very mild detergent and cold water. Dry cleaning is also a possibility. It's equally important to brush and fluff the fur.
