Furnish yourself with fur cushions

It's no secret that we have a great love for soft fur cushions. A fur cushion is both a versatile decorative element and a simple, space-saving alternative to a regular sheepskin. This is because a fur cushion takes up less space but possesses the same beautiful qualities as a real sheepskin—depending on the size of your cushion.

To show you the beautiful properties and versatile interior design possibilities of fur cushions, we have put together five decorating tips so you can enjoy the natural warmth and timeless charm of fur cushions.

1. Combine Textures

First, we want to emphasize that a fur cushion can be easily combined with other cushions—whether made of fabric or fur!

Real sheepskin is very soft, making it ideal for the couch or bed, where it exudes natural charm and offers unique comfort. The natural wool possesses the same temperature-regulating properties as a regular sheepskin and always ensures a pleasant seating experience.

These properties make the fur cushion an ideal match for a fabric cushion—not only because they create a beautiful contrast together, but also because they offer high comfort. For the fur cushion, you can choose from almost all sheepskin types we offer—whether curly Tibetan lambskin, short-haired New Zealand lambskin, or smooth New Zealand lambskin. You can also choose a regular wool cushion or a moccasin lambskin cushion. Combine the soft, smooth surface with a fur cushion made of curly lambskin or long, smooth lambskin and enjoy how these natural materials bring warmth and Scandinavian charm into your living room.

2. Patterned Fur Cushions Are Natural Statement Pieces

If you want to add something special to your home, a patterned fur cushion is a true must-have. We offer tricolored, checked, and striped fur cushions that bring a touch of natural elegance. However, be careful not to overload your living room with patterns—the rule of thumb here is: less is more.

A patterned fur cushion catches every eye and quickly becomes a natural statement piece in any interior. The combination of dyed lambskins highlights the unique appearance of real lambskin and simultaneously demonstrates how versatile this wonderful material is.

Looking for unique natural luxury? Then you should check out the wool cushions that are adorned with a tartan pattern and feature an elegant border of short-haired or long-haired lambskin. This beautiful wool cushion is ideal for minimalist and modern interior styles, as it seamlessly integrates into the decor while also bringing a touch of Scandinavian luxury.

3. Two-Sided Fur Cushions Are Your New Best Friend!

In our range, you will find the following three types of fur cushions:

• One-sided fur cushions have a fur side on the front and a fabric back—this is the most common type of fur cushion in our range
• Double-sided fur cushions have fur on both the front and back
• Two-sided fur cushions have a fur front and a back made of either leather or wool

Each of these three cushion types offers its own advantages, but two-sided fur cushions are particularly practical. With these cushions, you get two looks in one!

Our two-sided fur cushions combine Italian merino wool with high-quality New Zealand lambskin and embody the elegance of Scandinavian living through their timeless design. These cushions are not only naturally beautiful but also extremely versatile—simply flip the fur cushion when you want to give your couch a new look or prefer to cuddle with a wool cushion.

4. Combine Sizes and Shapes

Just like with regular fabric cushions, it's always a good idea to combine fur cushions in different sizes—not only because it creates a better comfort experience, but also because the combination of different sizes creates a pleasant and harmonious overall look.

For example, combine a 40x40 cm fur cushion with one in 40x40 cm and choose two colors that harmonize well. For additional back or neck support, you can use a 30x60 cm fur cushion.

In addition to sizes, it is also advisable to choose fur cushions in various shapes—and just like with patterned fur cushions, the same applies here: be careful not to overcrowd the room. Choose one or two round cushions or place a shell-shaped fur cushion on the couch to add a playful touch to the decor. Such a cushion is ideal for elevating your decor to the next level with a subtly used design piece.

5. There's no such thing as too many fur cushions!

Ultimately, we want to emphasize: you can never have enough fur cushions—even if your partner might see it differently. Because, as with other furnishing items, thoughtful placement is key to prevent the room from looking cluttered.

An elongated fur cushion in your favorite armchair provides extra comfort, two to three fur cushions in the corner of the sofa increase coziness, and a few fur cushions on the bed not only ensure pleasant comfort while reading but also natural snugness.

Opt for carefully selected fur cushions that harmonize well with each other, and introduce a few fabric cushions to create an inviting atmosphere.
