Styling: Ways to Bring Sheepskin Into Your Home for Winter Warmth
Make your home an inviting sanctuary to escape the cold with sheepskin rugs and covers
With the long nights and cold months of winter firmly upon us, extra measures that help ensure our homes are warm and inviting places to spend an evening are a welcome addition. Sheepskin accessories are comfortable and luxurious, and can transform any space into a cosy area in which to curl up on a chilly evening. Here are some ideas of ways you can use sheepskin in your home to warm up the winter months.
Warm up monochrome
Draping a sheepskin over a wooden or metal chair can add texture and depth to a room, and make it an exceptionally comfortable place to recline for an evening. It’s a plush alternative to a regular cover and adds an extra layer of interest in a monochrome scheme.

Rock away

Carve out a fort
Transform a playroom or child’s bedroom into a safe haven by creating a fort with a teepee, some cushions and a sheepskin rug. It will inspire their imagination and look lovely, too. Who knows, you might find it’s the perfect spot for the adults to get a little down time, as well.

Pair with wicker
The natural fibres of the wicker and sheepskin make them the perfect mix for a modern rustic feel. The colours work so well with each other, and here the sheepskin has transformed an otherwise potentially uncomfortable rocking stool into an attractive place to sit.
