It makes sense that so many taste makers strew sheepskin throws on the furniture. Whether it’s to reinforce the cozy in an already dressed down space, soften a room that’s bit too sleek, or add texture to a monochromatic palette, the shaggy skins are undeniably a nice touch.
I was immediately drawn to the gray sheepskins that are thrown over the chairs in the third photo down. I could do that, I thought. I had seen the curly gray versions at IKEA. They’d make the perfect touch on my new gray sofa in the family room. At once inviting and edgy. So tempting. Until I thought about it. How many times a day do I replace the pillows and blankets that litter the floor? Did I want to add to the chore? Not so much. Oh well.
Maybe it’d work on my all white bed. Who am I kidding? I don’t make my bed . . .

I like when there is one. I am bad at thinking everything has to be even, so I know I would be tempted to put two or 4 in a space. But I like when people throw one in and the room still looks balanced, they have done a really great job.
IKEA makes me want to try one, but I can’t decide.
