The do’s and don’ts of decorating with faux fur in rooms of your home
Texture can add a lot of warmth and dimension to a living space. Faux fur accessories such as throws, pillows and even some small furniture pieces remain on trend. All are easy ways to add this high-texture element to your home.
When looking to incorporate faux fur or other high texture, here are some tips.
DO:
■ Incorporate elements that can be used in various rooms such as toss pillows and throws.
■ Use oversized elements such as large throw blankets.
■ Use pelts as an alternative to throws on small furniture elements such as benches and ottomans.
■ Use faux fur to add a sense of contrast.
■ Look for unexpected faux fur elements such as small furnishings.
DON’T:
■ Be afraid to use faux fur in colors other than white. Black and even chocolate brown can be elegant and luxurious.
■ Overdo it. In most instances, less is more.
■ Overlook the opportunity to use faux fur as floor coverings.
■ Pair faux fur with other fur elements, as it can often overwhelm.
■ Overly expose faux fur to water, which can often change its look and texture.
