Important Information 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.

Once you go out looking for this kind of rug, make sure to focus first on the what it is made out of. Choose one that has been constructed out of fine acrylic fibers, for this will ensure that the hairs do not fall off due to stroking or even handling. Read the product label to check on the materials it is made of, but be forewarned that it may contain dog or cat fur sometimes.

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 hard put to make a final choice as they do come by a variety of shapes and sizes. If you do not find one to your liking, you can always have one custom made according to your needs. This sort of flexibility is what novice and seasoned decorators find most useful and expedient.

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.
