Sheepskin Rugs and Throws: Eighties Throwback Or Tactile Heaven?

I'm not sure that's there's much in life that is more 

deliciously tactile than sheepskin.

Just look at these lovely images.

Don't they make you want to 

dive in head-first to the deep, shaggy pile?

To bury your face into the luxurious softness?

They did go through a rather sad phase of looking terribly dated but, huzzah!, they're back with a vengeance, looking as classic as ever but, the wonderful thing is, they're bigger and better than before.

You can buy sheepskin in a whole range of colours, either dyed or from rare breeds, which can give beautiful fleeces like these:

Sheepskin is so beautifully natural. 

It's an easy way to rock the rustic vibe.

If you're looking to add a little more Country to an otherwise Modern space, then sheepskin may just be the answer you're searching for.

And size-wise, the sky's the limit. 

Fleeces can be carefully sewn together to create one enormous sheepskin. 

Wooooah!

There are loads of options too. Whether you use sheepskin as a rug...

a throw....

or simply as a cushion....

...it's a brilliant way to add natural texture to any room. 

And, what's more, they're relatively cheap too.

It's all good news today, my pumpkins.

Especially a certain girlie bedroom.....?
