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.
