How A Faux Fur Rug Can Work For You

By Roger Cooper


If you have an eye for interior spaces and decor, then you are definitely talented. You'll also know that a faux fur rug can be very good at enhancing a space when used correctly. There are a number of ways you can use such a piece to make a statement. Additionally, there are a number of reasons to choose this type of product over what else is on the market.

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.

There is no end of the list of options when it comes to size, shape and color of a fake fur rug. There are very realistic styles that are almost exactly like the fur of an animal. Rugs can imitate the hair of a fox, bear, mink, tiger, leopard, chinchilla or zebra. That being said, it's only natural that the more realistic the rug, the more it will cost.

On the topic of animals, one of the major benefits of deciding to purchase synthetic materials is that it reduces the harm to animals in such products. This is a great option for anyone who is supportive of animal rights but still desires the visual effect of the material in their space. Fake fur has become more and more popular thanks to the advocacy of animals rights groups such as PETA. Additionally, rugs made of real animal hides require a great deal of maintenance and attention that is not necessary for false fur.

Synthetic fur can be made to any size or shape you desire. This means that you can use a rug as an accent in a space or you can purchase an area rug instead. Accent rugs are smaller and tend to focus on a specific part of the room or a specific piece of furniture. For example, you can place an accent rug at the foot of your bed or under a coffee table.

Accent rugs can also be used as a way to add a pop of color in a particular theme or color palette. Because synthetic materials can be dyed to practically any color, it is easy to match the most unusual of color schemes with an impressive piece. This is a great addition to any kids' room, play area, retro-themed space or to add a pop of color to an otherwise monochrome layout.

Area rugs are good for covering larger spaces, but they must be carefully considered when it comes to size and shape. You need to balance a room correctly to get the desired effect, and proportion is everything. As such, taking the right measurements is key. You can choose from a range of shapes from oval to squares to something completely out of the box.

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.
