Faux Fur Pillows

Make any room in your humble abode extra cozy with a faux fur pillow. These on-trend pieces are beautifully crafted from faux fur and easily add softness, depth and texture to any room. Choose from many colors and varieties, from trendy ombre grey or ombre mocha pieces to chevron or striped faux fur patterns. These cozy pieces are neutral enough to go almost anywhere. Add one of these pillows to a leather accent chair in the living room to create a cozy reading nook. Add a pair of these pillows on an entryway bench or sectional to enhance the inviting style for your family and friends.

Faux Throws

Whether you are curling up for a movie night in the den or you just need that extra layer of warmth as you fall asleep at night, the blanket is an essential item for keeping your home cozy and your family comfortable. This winter, warm-up your decor with the addition of a cozy faux fur throw blanket. Many throws of this type are made with comfort as well as style in mind. On one side of the blanket, you may find faux fur with soft velvet on the other side, creating the perfect combination for curling up with a good book or for a family movie night.

There are many nooks and crannies in your home that can benefit from a toasty fur throw blanket. Placing a faux fur blanket on the back of a leather accent chair or sofa creates a warm textural element in your room. Store this wonderful throw in a woven basket under a console table or near the fireplace to create the perfect vignette when you’re not using the blanket. Or place this accent on the foot of your bed to complete your bedding ensemble. (Pair it with a matching faux fur pillow at the top of your bed for easy balance and to double the luxurious comfort!) No matter what fur throw you decide on, it is sure to add a perfect touch of elegance and luxury to any room!

Faux Fur Decor Tips

Follow these faux fur home design tips to flawlessly add softness and style to your space.

• Limit your faux fur to one or two pieces per space, so the look isn’t overwhelming.
• Choose high-quality faux fur products, as low quality pieces can often look very fake and can even begin to shed the fur all over your sectional or sofa.
• Select light pieces instead of dark if you are looking to keep faux fur out all year round. Lighter colors often mix well with more modern styles and also tend to blend with a variety of color schemes.
• Pair faux fur with other rich textures to make your living space feel cozier and warmer. One way to do this is pairing your faux fur with the right materials such as silks, velvets and even heavy wool.
• Place your faux fur where people are able to touch it. This material encourages engagement in space as it emits opulence and warmth.

Using the tips above, you can accent your home with fabulous faux fur. Of course, pillows and blankets aren’t the only furry accents you can find. Look for faux fur details on a variety of home items, such as the top of a vanity stool in your glam master suite, or even a fur-like area rug that your feet can sink into. You can even find holiday décor items with faux fur accents. With your personalized picks, your home will look warm, comfy and inviting all season long.
