How To Incorporate Faux Fur Into Your Interior.

The subject of 'real fur' is an ever present topic of debate in the fashion world with many designers choosing to opt for ethically compassionate faux fur as a more animal friendly addition to their collections.

Whilst sheep skin rugs and mink fur throws would not have seemed out of place in the homes of the 1970s and 80s, these days there has been an increase in the demand for faux fur home accessories. By following these quick and simple steps you can add a warm and cosy ambiance to even the plainest of home interiors.

Rugs

Faux fur rugs are a simple yet effective way of adding warmth and texture to any living room, bedroom or office space and are available in a vast range of colours and tones that will compliment both classic and contemporary home interiors. Traditional and natural fur hues such as browns, blacks and whites will give a soft and subtle ambiance that looks great in monochrome, rustic and lodge style interiors. If you prefer a more colourful interior then the synthetic properties of faux fur means that it can be dyed in a multitude of bright and illuminating palettes for a splash of vibrancy and energy.

Throws

Luxurious faux fur throws are a great way of adding textural and visual aesthetics to your interior space. Throws can be used to add an extra layer of warmth to your bedroom during cold winter months and can be easily matched to your bedroom decor and bedding selection. Alternatively they can be draped across your favourite chair or sofa so you can pour yourself a warm mug of tea and snuggle up and envelop yourself in its soft and sumptuous touch.

Cushions

Cushions are a versatile and functional home accessory that can be easily adapted into any room in your home. With such a vast range of faux fur cushions available on the high street you really will be spoilt for choice. From traditional square and rectangular faux mink cushions to fun and texturally pleasing fake mohair you can add a scattering of warmth and colour to your bed, sofa or armchair.

DIY

If you still cannot find the faux fur accessory for you, then fear not! Why not try your hand at a bit of DIY and create your very own personalised masterpiece that can be tailored to your exact requirements.  Draperies and local markets stock hundreds of different fur style fabrics that can be purchased at bargain prices, in large quantities and are perfect for updating or creating new and exciting furniture items. Using a glue gun or staple gun you can add some sumptuous fur upholstery to your favourite stool, armchair or sofa or alternatively why not dust off your sewing machine and create some simple cushion covers, seat pads and curtains for an injection of natural luxury.
