Yahoo Finance 10 best faux sheepskin rugs to suit your room
Is this spring - or fool’s spring? Temperatures may be on the up, but it can still feel pretty cold out there. Shop trips require a jacket and while you can certainly think about turning off the central heating timer, a cosy floor covering is the perfect way to make cold mornings more bearable during this weird in-between seasons stage.
Sheepskin rugs are the quickest route to making your interiors stylish and home cosy. While traditional ones are made from the skin and wool of sheep (surprise surprise), faux is just as fabulous.
Plus, they come in all shapes and colours and are as good for throwing over chilly floors as they are for draping over your favourite chair, ready to envelope you in a delicious extra layer of warmth.
Synthetic sheepskin rugs are easy on the wallet too, with animal-free options for every budget.
We’ve rounded up some of the best to shop in our edit below.
