How A Faux Fur Rug Can Work For You

By Roger Cooper


Interior decorating can be tricky, but when done properly, can achieve amazing results. Using a faux fur rug to enhance a space can make a huge difference in the look and feel of said space, particularly when executed properly. There are so many different ways to use this type of product to achieve a variety of outcomes. Furthermore, there are lots of benefits to using this type of product instead of its counterparts.

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.

Faux fur comes in many different styles, sizes and colors. You can get one that looks realistic, like an animal hide, imitating animals like a tiger, leopard, zebra, fox, mink or chinchilla. Of course, if you find something that looks very realistic, the chances are that it will be more expensive.

Having mentioned these different animals, of course one of the major benefits of buying faux fur is that no animals are tortured and killed. Fake fur is a great option for supporters of animal rights, and has been growing in popularity with the rise of animal rights organizations like PETA. Furthermore, using real animal carpets would require an extensive amount of care and maintenance that synthetic materials do not.

A synthetic fur rug can be cut into any shape and size. This means that a rug can be purchased to be used as an accent piece, which is smaller, or as an area rug. Accent rugs are designed to complement very specific features in a space, such as a key piece of furniture. They can be placed underneath a coffee table, and look great at the foot of the bed.

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.

It's really important to properly measure the space and choose the correct size and shape for an area rug. Balancing the space correctly is key to achieving a pleasing effect overall. Consider whether an oval or circle, rectangle or square would be better.

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.
