Decorating With Sheep Skin Hides: Get The Global Look

Hola!

One of my newest crushes has been on sheep skin rugs.  I purchased a few of them this Winter from Ikea and they have become a wonderful addition to my home.  Though seen in many Scandinavian and Nordic decor styles, sheep skin rugs have become decorative accents in many other design styles. This global accent has even crossed into other decor categories other than accent rugs.  From chair accessories, tablescape decor, and even pet cozy spots these comfy looking sheep skin rugs are becoming a versatile piece of globally inspired decor.

Sheep Skin Rugs as Chair Decor

Apart from the floor, the sheep skin rug has been most commonly used as chair decor and for good reason.  Either tossed over the arm or back of the chair, the sheep skin rug can add a cozy look and warmness to any space.

Smaller sheep skin rug and hides can be placed on the seat of a chair to create comfortable seating that is also very stylish.

I tossed a sheep skin rug over my desk chair, which is exceptionally comfy and great for all those late nights of blogging.  One of the best things about a sheep skin rug is that it can be used in any style of decor like my painted Indian inlay chair.

Have you ever felt a sheep skin rug or throw?  They are so soft, plush, and perfect additions to bench seats.  Alice of Thoughts from Alice uses a sheep skin rug in her living room.  The sheep skin hide livens and brightens the rustic bench in her southwestern boho vibe living room.  Note to self..track down a rustic bench!!

Sheep skin rugs pair so brilliantly with painted furniture.  Tania of Run to Radiance pairs a sheep skin rug with her mint green painted piano.  Makes me really wish I had my piano here with me.  Unfortunately, it’s too heavy and fragile to move from my parent’s basement.
