Sheepskin rugs are wonderfully versatile. Firstly, they can be used in a number of ways in the home, and always look stylish. Secondly, they are well suited to a number of interior styles, from Scandi to boho, and traditional to modern. A sheepskin rug is the perfect way to add a cosy finish to your space, as well as additional texture and interest. Here’s five ways to style sheepskin rugs in your home…
- Drape over a bench
Bench seating is a great option for kitchen tables or narrow dining spaces. More casual than traditional dining chairs, a beautiful wood bench will add warmth and variety to your space. While practical, dining benches can often feel unwelcoming. Add a cosy touch and make your bench more comfortable, with a sheepskin rug placed on the top. We love this grey sheepskin rug as it has a deep and luxurious pile, while being well-suited to a number of colour schemes.
- Dress a chair
Add a super comfy finish to your office or reading chair, or create a cosy feel to your armchair, by dressing with a sheepskin. Perfect for breathing new life into tired or unloved chairs, the addition of a sheepskin will quickly make this your favourite spot to relax. Throw on the back of the chair, or add to the seat. Try the white-brown sheepskin rug to add character to a neglected chair.
- Layer with other rugs or blankets
Sheepskin rugs are brilliant for creating a super textured, layered look. While larger sheepskin rugs look wonderful alone, smaller rugs work particularly well when layered over other rugs or blankets. For your bed, try a linen throw, with a sheepskin rug on top, placed on a diagonal to one side of the bed. For dressing hardwood floors or similar, try a sheepskin rug placed on top of a larger rug, again placed to one side and on a diagonal. Try our black sheepskin rug to add contrast and a touch of drama.
- Throw on a sofa
Layer up your sofa with the addition of a beautiful sheepskin. Perfect alone, or styled with other blankets, a sheepskin rug will create a laid back yet luxe finish to your living room. Try across the back of your sofa, on the arm or on the seat. This is a particularly good option if you want to add more texture to your space, without having to add pattern, or if you want to maintain a neutral colour scheme. We love this classic white long haired sheepskin rug for dressing sofas.
- Place at the side or end of the bed
Create a cosy surface to step onto first thing in the morning or last night at night, by placing a sheepskin rug at the side of your bed. Smaller rugs work perfectly for this, and will add a luxurious yet simple finish to your scheme. Alternatively, make a bigger statement with a large sheepskin rug at the end of your bed. We love the XL white quad sheepskin rug for adding that all important finishing touch and taking your master bedroom to the next level.
