Our article contains the most beautiful ideas for decorating the interior with fur Yes, yes, coziness is one of the purposes of fur accessories for the home, and these are not just skins thrown on the floor or covering the sofa, but exquisite stylish things in the Art Nouveau style: fur book covers, inserts in paintings, wallpaper decorated "under the wool" and much more.
Where it all began
At the beginning of the last century, avant-garde designersoffered their clients furniture completely upholstered in fur, blankets and bedspreads made of this material. This certainly gave a certain elegance to the interiors, but caused stormy protests from animal rights activists. The fight of the "greens" against the "furriers" has not yet been successful, and the main reason for this is that natural furs, if properly processed, can serve for many years, they are practical, comfortable and impressive.
Should you paint or insulate the wall?
Recently, ideas have been developedthe use of fur wall panels. Such finishing is not just original — it is very original! And at the same time it attracts attention. You just want to run your hand over such a wall to feel its smooth, warm, pleasant texture. By the way, these panels are especially good for music lovers: they create a specific acoustic effect. A wall finished with fur visually seems warmer in winter, and cooler in summer, if it is made of smooth material. But exoticism is not for everyone. Therefore, if you want something fashionable, original and not too pretentious and shocking, limit yourself to a couple of pillows with fur trim or a blanket made of animal skin.
Artificial or real?
It is implied that everything we have talked about,refers to natural fur. However, it can be easily replaced with artificial fur - it's a matter of your taste. Both options are quite popular with designers. It is believed that professionals do not tolerate fakes, so they choose natural materials. At the same time, artificial fur allows you to implement significantly more ideas and projects. At the same time, it is more unpretentious in operation, which makes it possible to use it as a floor covering, not to mention finishing any furniture with it. However, for illustrations, we have chosen, of course, interiors and examples with natural fur.
Our opinion:— If you think that fur in the interior is an unaffordable luxury, just remember your childhood or ask your parents. A bear or wolf skin on the floor, a fur throw on a chair, a mat as a blanket or over a duvet — this was in almost every apartment and every house… Most of us live in northern latitudes, and you shouldn’t focus on those who have temperatures above +18 for 11 months of the year.
