To mix it up a little from just looking at animal prints, today is about another HUGE obsession of mine that belongs in the animal kingdom.
FUR.
This warm and hairy manner of decorating has been in pop culture in movies, books, and fantasies (bear skin rug by the fire, anyone?), and I am fully convinced it is a trend here to stay. In moderation, of course.
Besides adding interest and drama to your room, it is a GREAT way to add texture — a must in decorating.
Check out these digs full of the faux fur fabulosity:

The wood floor would be extremely empty without a rug, and this one gives it more interest than a boring old "flat" rug.

If you're feeling really wild, go for fur bedding! Might be a little hot though...

If you're timid about the trend, try a simple blanket draped on a couch or chair.

And in keeping with eco-friendliness and my own personal beliefs, I must stress that FAUX FUR is the way to go. It can sometimes be difficult to find, but you’ll be able to rest easier knowing a small woodland creature didn’t die only to lay on your sofa. (Sorry that’s a little grotesque…just trying to make a point)
