What You Need To Know When Buying A White Faux Fur Rug

By Carl Cox


Many people want to incorporate fur rugs into their home without requiring that an animal lose its life. In the past few years, faux fur has become much more realistic and pleasant to touch. If you are considering adding a white faux fur rug to your home, here are some tips and tricks that you can use to ensure you get a high quality product that will look good and feel great underfoot.

You do need to think about how large the room will be where the rug is placed. The last thing you want to do is to buy one that is far too large and which does not fit. Too small is also not ideal. You may find that if the rug is too small and it is placed under furniture that either you will not see it or you will not be able to have enough room to walk on it.

Are you someone who loves the feel of a thick rug underneath your feet? The pile length and the number of carpet fibers in a particular piece may determine whether a particular rug is thick and plush or whether it is thinner than you may be looking for. You should consider that longer pile length (such as that found in a shag rug) may feel wonderful but it can be harder to maintain and vacuuming can be more of a challenge as well.

Are you someone who likes a subtle pattern in your floor covering? It is still possible to find white faux fur that has a pattern to it but it may be a bit of a search. Color variations can also give a piece more of a natural look as well since it may more closely mimic an actual animal's hide.

You might also want to consider whether you want your rug to have even edges or ones that are a more free form shape. Most natural hides will have curving edges that follow the shape of the animal that they came from. If you want your rugs to look as natural as possible, this may mean that the edges feature protrusions and bulges that would mimic where legs or a tail would have been positioned on an animal.

Getting the rug is only the first step. Then you need to start designing the room around it. You may want to think about where you want to place it and whether you want it under furniture or if you want it out in the open so that it is more visible. If you have other rugs that will also occupy the same space, you should think about how closely you want them to sit.

Buying your area rug from a reputable dealer is important. You want to make sure that the pile is well attached to the backing and that the backing itself is made out of a durable material that will resist wear and tear. If you want to get an idea of what your rug will look like in a living space, you may want to consider looking in stores and on websites that demonstrate what a particular piece looks like as part of a furniture arrangement.

Following care instructions is also important. There may be specific products that you should be using to clean and maintain your area rug. Often, putting a pad underneath can help prevent slippage and also help prolong the life of your carpet. Then you can be confident that your investment will stay looking as new as possible for as long as possible.
