Using A Faux Fur Rug In Your Next Project

By Richard Barnes


We can make things more beautiful and raise the aesthetic value just by simply using our skills and our imagination coupled with available materials and items. This is very much true if you are involved in an upcoming interior decorating project wherein you have the option of using a faux fur rug. Do read on if you are thinking of using this kind of rug in your next beautification project.

Before you dig into your pockets and pay for a rug of this type, you have to know the relative pros and cons as such so that you can make a more informed decision. By knowing more about the product you are about to use means you will be able to get more bang for your buck when making a purchase.

Get a faux rug that is made out of fine acrylic fibers as this will ensure less shedding when it is stroked or handled. Make it a point to look at the material label to ensure no toxic materials are present. Also though not mentioned sometimes, a majority of fillers and extenders to make the rug more fluffy and thick are made of dog and cat fur.

This item is manufactured in many shapes, sizes and patterns. Popular designs are ones that copy leopard, mink, chinchilla, bear, fox, and zebra amongst others. Whatever size or design you choose, always make sure that it perfectly complements or contrasts the interior you have in mind. It should also not be placed on walls but on the floor, as rugs should be.

As they do come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, it may be quite difficult to make a decision right away so you should take your time. If you cannot find a shape or size to your liking then you can have one made. It is this sort of customization that make it a popular interior decorating choice.

This rug is also hypoallergenic as no residual dander exists from any animal. Your conscience will also be clearer as you will know that nothing was killed for it. It is also more durable and washable, so it will not stink over time.

When looking at the price difference between it and the real thing, the disparity can be quite great, with the faux one being much cheaper of course and thus easier to buy. It can be bought online most of the time and there are no hassles brought about by the need for wildlife clearances and permits. It is thus very easy to transport and export or import as the case may be.

For heating purposes this item is pretty much useless as it is really only for decorative purposes or looks. In fact should it get extremely cold it will tend to freeze and crack. In the longer term, one may notice that it will tend to feel more like cotton than fur. It is also good to note that it is not a biodegradable item.
