Reasons To Choose A Faux Fur Rug

By Matthew Morgan


Any home can be made much more cozier and beautiful with a few embellishments and additions here and there. These can of course cost you a pretty penny or it can be dirt cheap depending on what you choose. One such cost effective thing that you can use will be a faux fur rug, a great alternative to the real thing to save you some bucks. Read on in this article for a few tips on how to use this cost saver.

Prior to using any material or purchasing one for that matter, it pays to know more about it first. Try to get the qualities of whatever it is you are buying so that you can make a more informed decision that will give you peace of mind. Look at the relative advantages and disadvantages of the item at hand.

A rug made of fine acrylic fibers should always be the one that you are looking for. Give it a stroke test by running your hands over it a few times, and check if it releases a lot or a little amount of fibers. Higher quality constructions will shed very little. Check the product label for possible allergenic substances as some of these rugs do contain fur from cats and dogs.

Quite a diverse selection is available with false rugs covering several designs. These designs can be in the form of mink, chinchilla, tiger, leopard, bear, fox and zebra. Make sure that the design you choose must either complement or contrast your room to make a good impact. Also, remember that these are for use on the floor and not to be hung on walls.

When buying this kind of rug, you can rest assured that no animal has been killed in the process. Also because of this, they are also easier to maintain and are washable to boot, which the real thing is not. They are also much more wear resistant and can last much longer too. More often than not they are moth resistant and also come in hypoallergenic varieties.

This can also be considered by some as a dream come true for a lot of interior decorators. This is because they can be made to come in any shape or size that you desire so you can customize to your hearts content. This is a definite advantage over the real thing anytime.

On top of all these advantages the foremost advantage would most probably be the price factor. The faux version is definitely much cheaper and within reach of a wider range of budgets. It is also fairly easy to purchase online from anywhere in the world and you will not need to have any wildlife clearances to get it.

An inherent disadvantage is that it is not biodegradable and will not provide much warmth if used. It will also tend to brittle and crack in extreme cold temperatures unlike the real thing.
