Why You Should Choose A Faux Fur Rug Over The Real Thing

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.

Go for a rug that is made out of fine acrylic fibers. Also make sure of its quality by stroking it as a way of an integrity test. A higher quality rug will not shed too much fibers or hairs when stroked repeatedly. Thoroughly read through the product labels to see if it contains any ingredients that may cause you allergies, keeping in the back of your mind that most times they can contain real dog or cat fur.

The wide variety of designs makes these false rugs a popular choice. Most popular and available are designs of zebra, bear, fox, mink, chinchilla, tiger, and leopard. When choosing a design, make sure you choose one that will always tastefully complement or contrast the room you have in mind. It is also good to remember that these rugs are usually kept on the floor rather than pinned up on the wall.

When you do buy a false rug it will save an animal somewhere for it entails not killing anything to make it. This will be more advantageous to your conscience. Also these rugs are washable, which the real ones are not, so it will be resistant to stink. They do tend to be more durable and last longer as well as being more hypoallergenic and moth resistant as well.

When looking for specific sizes and shapes, the faux rug is better able to meet this need. They can come in a variety of weird shapes and sizes to fit the taste of any interior decorator and thus it can be described as a godsend for most. This sort of flexibility is one that cannot be found in the real thing.

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.

A seen disadvantage to this product is that it is purely aesthetic, as it will not provide warmth in the cold. It will become brittle and crack when the temperature is extremely cold and it is also not biodegradable. So it is definitely only used for looks only.
