Faux Fur Rugs

It is a wonderful feeling to be wrapped up in a fur coat in the winters. The soft and luxurious material keeps you warm and comfortable in the worst of the biting cold. However, having all that fur around you does make you feel guilty that here you are warm and cozy at the cost a poor little helpless animal’s life. It makes you wonder if man has actually left his barbaric ways! Hunting and skinning animals for food and clothing just like in the early evolution days. True, the circumstances were different then – for starters there was no PETA to object. Now, however, we are more civilized, we care for our environment and we are worried about the depleting arctic ice caps and disappearing species of flora and fauna. Yet, we continue to breed and kill rabbits, beavers, fox, bear and so many more animals for our comfort.

Well, all animal lovers and animal activists can now breathe a sigh of relief. Technological advances in science have heralded the start of a new method of saving the animals. In the late 1950s, came the creation of fake fur. This was made of acrylic polymers and over the years has gone from looking fake to seeming so authentic – it would take an expert to tell the fake from real. Acrylic polymers have been mixed with other polymers (for the non-techie, this is as far as I will venture) to produce what is called modacrylic fabric – in simple words – Faux Fur fabric.

Most of these faux fur items are worthy of being handed down to generations as collectibles. Your son is beginning a new business? Gift him swivel chairs wrapped in a luxurious polar bear fur; or your daughter is renovating? How about traditional yet classic wall mirrors hugged by the most amazing and softest furs imaginable. Your gifts are sure to be appreciated and loved for years to come!

Till a few years back, we thought that faux fur and faux fur rugs were only for the lowest income group. We also thought them to be shoddy and cheap; yet they are increasingly accepted. The quality, warmth and luxury of a faux fur item like faux fur rugs are almost as good as the real one! Animal lovers and home lovers all have a new huge range for way of life. It’s fake yet unlike all adorned by designers themselves! Go ahead, indulge!

Perhaps the widest use of faux fur is in home accessories.
Faux fur Rugs, throws and teddy bears delight the hardest to please customers as well. Chinchilla fox and lynx throws for your bedroom to snuggle in; or simply use them as bed covers.

There is something for every room, try the amazing German shepherd or polar bear foot rests for your study. Stuffed with poly fill and lush fabric finish, they are a conversation starter. Ottomans or tables floor cubes in suede finish for your terrace garden or the guest rooms. Better still; allow a 40” tall life size penguin welcome your guests into the living room.

A number of stores provide lush fabrics for creating your own designs and uses. They even have a catalog of designs and help is available to sew them! You could end up creating your own mahogany mink lamp shade or a blue rabbit fur wall cover. Faux fur rugs can also be created using these designs. Besides clothing for men, women and children, faux fur is increasingly used for accessories that are perfect gift items.
