Last week, we were debating stacked books in interior design when one of the comments also attacked the use of a sheepskin rug on the back of a sofa.
The photo in question is at right. It’s a room styled by Emily Henderson, who went on to win Design Star and now has her own show.
This is a look I absolutely love.
I have one of these little faux fur rugs – mine is from IKEA – and I’m thinking about tossing it over the back of my black leather sofa.
I know I’m not the only one who loves the look. I see it everywhere!
Sherry & John over at Young House Love have a little fur rug thrown over an ottoman in their living room. They’ve actually used these little pieces all over their old and new houses.
I found the beautiful dining room below at Apartment Therapy from a 2010 post about how faux fur rugs are showing up all over dining room chairs.
Raina of Alberta, who has a blog called Raining Sheep and posts photos on Flickr, has sheepskin over the sofa in her cool, modern living room, pictured below.
And of course, Emily Henderson uses faux fur rugs all the time in her spaces, including in the room at right.
The fur over this chair is subtle because the upholstery is so neutral and there’s a pillow sitting in front.
But the fur provides some much-needed texture to the room. So pretty!
So what do you think?
Do you think these fur throws or rugs are arbitrary?
Do you think they’re a way to add a little style and texture to a space?\
I can’t wait to hear what you think.
So take the poll and then leave a comment below. Be honest … it makes for a better conversation!
