Important Information About Faux Fur Area Rugs

By Gary Jackson


Sometimes the only thing we need to make something beautiful, whether it be a room or an entire house will be a bit of imagination, skill, and the right materials. This will of course either be very expensive, very affordable or very cheap depending on the materials and inputs that we use. A good affordable decorative material that we can use in any make over, are faux fur area rugs. If you are thinking of using these, then do read on.

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.

When going out to buy this kind of rug, search for one that has been made out of fine acrylic fibers. One that is of a high quality make will not release a lot of hairs or fibers when it is stroked or handled. Read the label carefully to see the kinds of materials this is made up of, but you should be also be aware that sometimes it may contain real fur from either cats or dogs.

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.

In buying or choosing these rugs, there is that added advantage to your conscience, in that you know that no living animal has been killed to get it. They are also a lot easier to maintain than the real ones, and do not stink up easily as they are easily washable. In general they will be more durable and resist wear and tear easily, as well as being mothproof and hypoallergenic to boot. This is because they are free from residual dander.

Coming in many sizes and shapes, you will be spoilt for choice when choosing a specific size and design, and if it does not exist, can have one custom made to your specifications. This flexibility is what makes it a good choice for would be and seasoned interior decorators.

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.

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.
