Add Style With A Fake Sheepskin Rug

By Jason Allen


Many people want to decorate a room in their home but are often intimidated by the process. Keeping things simple helps with cost and maintenance but the space can still become fabulous with just a few touches. Things like a fake sheepskin rug can transform a living space with one step.

Unlike area rugs of yesteryear, these new models have a look and feel like they came from the outdoors. The difference is that most are safe for machine washing but it may be best for a professional cleaning service to handle stains. There are also many colors and textures to complement any room theme.

Those who want to decorate a room in earth or neutral tones may want to go with a faux fur or sheepskin rug that is cream or dark grey in color. White rugs are best in low traffic areas of the home or is easy to clean. However, for a more eclectic look, primary or vibrant colors may be used to complement the paint and furnishings in an interior space.

Many are in love with the texture of a real sheepskin rug but may want an alternative that does not involve animals. These days, rugs may feel smooth and silky but are made from synthetic materials that are easy to clean and store. The great thing is that there are no hard rules in which should be used in a space, as some may desire contrast by using a coarse textured rug in a room that may be considered contemporary or modern in style.

For instance, rooms with a modern or sleek look can have a large textured rug to offset the straight lines. If the theme is casual or folksy, a rug with the look of mink may not be out of place. It can take a moment to experiment and find a unique feel, even if it means hanging a rug on a wall instead of the floor.

When in doubt, there are many books and online visuals that can inspire creativity. Some are even targeted to those working with a limited budget. Though various shades of white offer flexibility in color choices, someone with blue or beige walls may not have as many options. This is where a color wheel comes in handy, as it can help in selecting complementary colors as possible accents in a living space.

Ideally, an area rug is made to take a generous amount of floor space to preserve the carpet or wood underneath. But a nice rug can be trimmed to accentuate a large piece of furniture or as a plush seat near a fireplace or bay window. If foot traffic is a concern, some fabrics can handle a protectant that keeps dirt stains from setting into fibers.

Decorating is not reserved for the rich or overly creative. By taking time to explore possibilities, anyone can come up with a great creation they can call their own. To some, it may only look like a professional was used but in reality, it was a fraction of the cost.
