By Gary Jackson


With the right materials and skills, one can transform the look of anything, even the way that the home or house looks, or the rooms within. Of course this can be all expensive or all cheap, all depending of course on the price and cost of the materials being used. For interior decoration it can be practical to use faux fur area rugs.

Way before you buy any of these faux rugs that you see advertised, it is best to know more about the product itself so you know what to look for. It also pays to know the relative advantage and disadvantages of using it in your home. Arming yourself with the right information will lead you to a more informed decision.

Look out for ones that are made of fine acrylic fibers, meaning get rugs made out of this material. This will ensure that it will not release a lot of fiber when it is stroked or handled. Read also the material label to know what it is made of but be aware that sometimes faux rugs will contain a bit of either dog or cat fur.

Quite a few designs are made available to the market when it comes to false rugs. They likewise come in several shapes and sizes. Popular designs include fox, zebra, leopard, chinchilla, bear and mink. Put in mind that whatever design you choose, that they must either complement or contrast a room perfectly to give that needed effect. It should also be kept in mind that these kind of furs are usually placed on the floor, and not on walls as many people may tend to do.

In buying or choosing these rugs, there is that added advantage to your conscience, in that you know that no living animal has been killed to get it. They are also a lot easier to maintain than the real ones, and do not stink up easily as they are easily washable. In general they will be more durable and resist wear and tear easily, as well as being mothproof and hypoallergenic to boot. This is because they are free from residual dander.

You will be hard put to make a final choice as they do come by a variety of shapes and sizes. If you do not find one to your liking, you can always have one custom made according to your needs. This sort of flexibility is what novice and seasoned decorators find most useful and expedient.

Should the temperatures become extremely cold there will be a chance that it will freeze and crack. Also in the long run, low quality faux rugs will feel more like cotton than fur. An added concern is that these are also not biodegradable.
