Basic Things You Need To Know About Faux Fur Area Rugs

By Gary Jackson


Sometimes, with the judicious use of skills and available materials, one can totally change the look of the house or living space one is in. Depending on the materials used and the effect needed, this can become either a cheap or an expensive affair. A good set of faux fur area rugs may be of benefit to you. Read on in this article to know more about this practical and decorative article.

Prior to your purchase of a faux fur rug you should get to know a bit of its qualities so that you can make a more informed decision. Once you are fully armed with information you can make a decision that is more advantageous to you. This article will include some advantages and disadvantages that you may encounter should you decide on getting this item.

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.

When getting a faux rug, your conscience is free form the fact that an animal was killed to get its fur. As an added bonus, it is easier to maintain and is washable, and so will not stink like the real thing as time goes by. They are less prone to wear and tear, are moth resistant and hypoallergenic.

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.

The best thing that will probably make it stand out is its price. It is very much cheaper and you can always buy it online and have it shipped, without the necessary clearances and wildlife permits which are needed when importing or transporting real fur made products.

Although more durable, it cannot provide as much heat as the real thing, so basically it is really just for decorative purposes rather than practical ones. In extreme cold it will have a tendency to freeze and crack. Low quality rugs will also feel more like cotton than like fur and it is also good to note that while it does save animal lives that it is not biodegradable.
