As the days get shorter and cold weather draws near, it’s the perfect time to add a touch of warmth to the home. Faux fur accents are a great way to amp up the coziness. Even small infusions bring softness and texture to your decor and create a soothing, tactile experience.
Whether in the form of a fluffy rug underfoot or a cozy throw blanket draped over the sofa, faux fur shows up in a variety of home accent pieces. The fabric is typically made from synthetic materials like acrylic and polyester, blended to mimic the softness and texture of the real thing. So this year, before you curl up by the fireplace, add a bit of luxury to your surroundings with a few of these plush faux fur accents.
