By Betty Cox


Sometimes a home can be made more beautiful or homey given a few embellishments here and there. Of course these embellishments can either be expensive or cheap. Regardless of price they should do the job, and a good faux fur rug is one good alternative to the real thing. This article shows how to choose a good one for your needs as the case may be.

Before you do buy a false fur rug you should know some of its qualities before you go out and buy one right away. By knowing these qualities you will be more confident in buying one. This article will also look at some advantages and disadvantages of getting such an item for your use.

When going out looking for this kind of rug, make sure that you look for one made of fine acrylic fibers as this handles well under a stroke test. If made of high quality, there will be very small release of hairs when the fur is stroked. Also read the product label for a complete list of materials used in its production. It is also good to know that sometimes it may include real fur from other animals, such as dogs or cats or others.

Apart from these items being available in several sizes and shapes they also come in several designs as well. These designs will come in the form of bear, chinchilla, mink, fox, zebra, tiger, and leopard. Remember that a design should either complement or contrast the room depending on what you want. Also remember that these are usually placed on the floor and not hung on the walls which are done with the real furs.

These are also much easier to maintain and washable, apart from the apparent advantage of saving the life of some animal when you purchase it. Being washable, they will not become foul with odor as time passes as compared to the genuine article. These will also last longer as they are more resistant to wear and are moth resistant as well as being hypoallergenic.

These also come in various shapes and sizes so it will not be a problem if you are looking for a specific size for a specific design. It is this flexibility of sizing, shape, and design or patterns that make it a dream for any interior decorator to use.

It is also much cheaper than the real thing thus making it an attractive alternative also. In addition it is not very difficult to buy online and you will not need to have nay clearances or permits to buy it when compared to buying or importing real fur.

Although it can resist cold to protect its integrity, it is not an item that can provide much warmth either. In very extreme conditions however, it is less resistant when compared to the real thing in very cold or freezing temperatures as it will freeze and crack. Most low quality false furs will also feel like cotton and not as smooth as the real thing. In addition it is also not biodegradable.
