Use_Artificial_Grass_As_Decor-1.jpgLightweight artificial turf is similar to short pile carpet or heavy fabric. It is extremely pliant and can even be sown together like cloth. Artificial turf décor is becoming more and more common with individuals who love the outdoors and are trying to incorporate it into their homes. No longer is synthetic grass considered only for the outdoors. People are discovering its versatility and beginning to incorporate into their home décor.



Upholstery Covers


For people who enjoy sitting on the grass outside on a warm summer night, lightweight artificial turf can be used to upholstery various types of furniture. Love seats, couches and chairs can covered with artificial turf. Not only does it function like regular upholstery fabric, it is comfortable to the touch and extremely easy to work with.


Fabric Accents


Artificial turf décor is extremely popular especially in game rooms and man caves. Cake pans in the shape of numbers or geometric designs can be used to make several different displays and accents. Certain types of synthetic grass are very lightweight, similar to heavier forms of fabric like canvas or tweed. The mesh backing can be easily cut and shaped into many different shapes and sizes. It can easily be cut to cover picture frames, clock faces and the backing for shadowboxes.


Wall Coverings


Artificial turf can also be used as a wall paper or wall covering. It can be placed behind fountains or used as a backdrop for photographs and athletic awards. Sections of turf can be used to cover small areas of the wall or larger pieces can be put in place over the entire wall surface. It can also be used like wainscoting and only cover the upper or lower portion of a wall, depending on the theme of the room.


Rugs and Carpeting


Many people use artificial turf as a covering for pool surrounds, patios and decks. It can be used in much the same way inside the home. Artificial turf is extremely easy to cut so it can be laid in almost any size or shape of room. It can be cut into small pieces and used as accent rugs in front of or placed under furniture. If the mesh backing is coated with a non-slip film or rubber layer, it can be put in place almost anywhere without fear of sliding or slipping.


Cleaning and Maintenance


Artificial turf décor can be vacuumed like regular carpet and will not hold dust or debris. Because no infill is used when the turf is installed inside, there is no need to fluff or rake the blades. The blades will be encouraged to remain upright by the suction of the vacuum. Artificial turf can be vacuumed on a daily basis without fear of damage or excessive wear and tear. Even turf that is placed on walls can be lightly cleaned with a hand vac or wand attachment.


Artificial turf décor is suitable for almost any type of interior layout. It is a unique addition to any room where an outdoor feel is desired. Whether it is used as carpeting, upholstery or as wall accents, the unique environment it creates gives the perception of bringing the outdoors inside. It can be easily exchanged for other types of carpeting or coverings if the homeowner wants to create a seasonal effect. Many choose to leave the turf in place throughout the year. For football and soccer enthusiasts, it makes an ideal backdrop for setting the right mood. Combine the turf/carpet and chair coverings with turf lined trays and table coverings and the environment is just right for supporting the home team.
