Using A Faux Fur Rug To Enhance A Space

By Roger Cooper


Interior decorating can be tricky, but when done properly, can achieve amazing results. Using a faux fur rug to enhance a space can make a huge difference in the look and feel of said space, particularly when executed properly. There are so many different ways to use this type of product to achieve a variety of outcomes. Furthermore, there are lots of benefits to using this type of product instead of its counterparts.

Also called fake fur or synthetic fur, faux fur is a much more cost effective option than using a rug made of real fur. There are so many advancements in technology on a regular basis that synthetic materials are able to fool even the most knowledgeable of individuals when it comes to these types of products. Furthermore, anyone looking to purchase an item like this will be pleased with the much wider range of options in fake fur over that of a real animal.

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.

Having mentioned these different animals, of course one of the major benefits of buying faux fur is that no animals are tortured and killed. Fake fur is a great option for supporters of animal rights, and has been growing in popularity with the rise of animal rights organizations like PETA. Furthermore, using real animal carpets would require an extensive amount of care and maintenance that synthetic materials do not.

A synthetic fur rug can be cut into any shape and size. This means that a rug can be purchased to be used as an accent piece, which is smaller, or as an area rug. Accent rugs are designed to complement very specific features in a space, such as a key piece of furniture. They can be placed underneath a coffee table, and look great at the foot of the bed.

Use an accent rug to add some color to a space. This is a great idea if you have a special theme or color palette in mind. Synthetic materials are easy to dye, so you won't be short of options when it comes to finding a specific color. You can use a colorful rug in your children's room or play room, or if you have a retro theme or monochromatic scheme to bring life to.

It's really important to properly measure the space and choose the correct size and shape for an area rug. Balancing the space correctly is key to achieving a pleasing effect overall. Consider whether an oval or circle, rectangle or square would be better.

It's always important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning to ensure longevity and quality. Synthetic fur can be hand washed, machine washed or dry cleaned. It is advisable to use the mildest of detergents and always use a cold setting. Fluffing and brushing out the fur after air-drying is also a key factor in preserving the item.
