Many people want to incorporate fur rugs into their home without requiring that an animal lose its life. In the past few years, faux fur has become much more realistic and pleasant to touch. If you are considering adding a white faux fur rug to your home, here are some tips and tricks that you can use to ensure you get a high quality product that will look good and feel great underfoot.

You may want to consider how large you want your rug to be as this can be a good way to narrow down your choices. Some pieces of faux fur are not overly large and if you are trying to fill a large room they may not give you the look you want. You could consider adding several rugs to a single space especially if you want to define different areas such as seating areas or dining areas within a single space.

Are you someone who likes a very thick rug? If so, make sure that the carpet you choose has long strands and a large number of threads per inch. This will mean that your carpet is very thick and feel good underfoot. Just remember that a carpet with very long strands may be more difficult to care for especially if you try and vacuum it.

Are you someone who wants to have a carpet that is all one color or one that has a pattern? If you want a faux fur rug that looks as natural as possible, it is important to find one that does have some color variations. Unless you want faux sheepskin or some other similar simulated hide, most natural pelts have some patterns in them and simulated hides will also have some different shading in them as well.

Do you know whether you want your rug to be a definite geometric shape or are you someone who wants something that is more organic looking? This decision may also help you figure out which rug is best for your home. You may want to check out several different options before you choose a final piece to add to your living space.

Once you have an idea of which style of rug you are interested in, you can start planning your room around it. If it is a smaller piece of faux fur you may want to position it in the middle of the room or in an area where a grouping of seats has been placed. Often these will be positioned so that people who are sitting can view a television set, a fire place or other focal feature in a room.

Buying your area rug from a reputable dealer is important. You want to make sure that the pile is well attached to the backing and that the backing itself is made out of a durable material that will resist wear and tear. If you want to get an idea of what your rug will look like in a living space, you may want to consider looking in stores and on websites that demonstrate what a particular piece looks like as part of a furniture arrangement.

Once you get your area rug into your home it is important that you maintain it properly. Not all fibers are cared for the same way so learning what your rug is made out of is a critical first step. You should consider how to remove discolorations from liquids and foot traffic as well as how to keep the pile looking its best.
