How A Faux Fur Rug Can Enhance A Space

By Roger Cooper


If you have an eye for interior spaces and decor, then you are definitely talented. You'll also know that a faux fur rug can be very good at enhancing a space when used correctly. There are a number of ways you can use such a piece to make a statement. Additionally, there are a number of reasons to choose this type of product over what else is on the market.

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.

Faux fur comes in many different styles, sizes and colors. You can get one that looks realistic, like an animal hide, imitating animals like a tiger, leopard, zebra, fox, mink or chinchilla. Of course, if you find something that looks very realistic, the chances are that it will be more expensive.

On the topic of animals, one of the major benefits of deciding to purchase synthetic materials is that it reduces the harm to animals in such products. This is a great option for anyone who is supportive of animal rights but still desires the visual effect of the material in their space. Fake fur has become more and more popular thanks to the advocacy of animals rights groups such as PETA. Additionally, rugs made of real animal hides require a great deal of maintenance and attention that is not necessary for false fur.

Synthetic fur can be made to any size or shape you desire. This means that you can use a rug as an accent in a space or you can purchase an area rug instead. Accent rugs are smaller and tend to focus on a specific part of the room or a specific piece of furniture. For example, you can place an accent rug at the foot of your bed or under a coffee table.

Accent rugs can also be used as a way to add a pop of color in a particular theme or color palette. Because synthetic materials can be dyed to practically any color, it is easy to match the most unusual of color schemes with an impressive piece. This is a great addition to any kids' room, play area, retro-themed space or to add a pop of color to an otherwise monochrome layout.

Area rugs are good for covering larger spaces, but they must be carefully considered when it comes to size and shape. You need to balance a room correctly to get the desired effect, and proportion is everything. As such, taking the right measurements is key. You can choose from a range of shapes from oval to squares to something completely out of the box.

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.
