Are fur carpets the biggest trend of 2023?

Fur carpets have become popular in 2023 for those seeking to add a touch of luxurious comfort to their living spaces. While real fur rugs and deep pile wool carpets are made from authentic sheep fur, many faux fur carpet options are now available on the market.

There are some dealers who offer carpets made from other animals such as bears or foxes, but these products tend to be sold in the high-end premium sector of the carpet industry, rather than at local retailers. Vegans and others concerned about animal welfare issues, for ethical reasons, obviously prefer faux fur carpets that feel like fur over real ones.

Many consumers purchase fur floor coverings as rugs to create warm and comfortable areas that are pleasant to walk or sit on in rooms with hard floors. However, larger size deep pile fur like carpets are also available for those who want to cover more room space. Fur carpets can be used in many room types, including bedrooms and living areas but, due to the delicate nature of some fur carpets, they are not always recommended for high-foot-traffic zones. Additionally, they should not be placed in high-moisture areas such as kitchens, utility rooms and bathrooms.

Fur rugs typically come equipped with an anti-slip backing. While sheepskin rugs remain undyed, faux fur rugs typically come in various colours and patterns for customers' enjoyment.
