Style #1: A “White & Soft” Christmas decoration thanks to sheepskin

If, for you, Christmas means moments of sharing with your loved ones in a snowy setting, warming up by the fire and near the tree, then bet on a Christmas style around white . Be careful, however, it is not just any white. Here, we are talking about the whiteness that calls for softness. For this, you have an essential ally: sheepskin!

Among our catalog of creations, remember that three types of sheepskin are available to you:

• the classic and essential sheepskin whose hair offers a perfect texture;
• Icelandic sheepskin with longer hair which gives it even more thickness;
• Mongolian lambskin with long, silky hair for absolute relaxation.

Whatever type of sheepskin you prefer, it will certainly bring a cozy effect to your living room. Sheepskin is an invitation to a moment of relaxation . White in color, it is close to the softness of the cloud and the purity of snow. A real nod to the Christmas spirit.

A good Christmas decoration is the combination of several decorative elements. Simply add one or more sheepskin cushions in an off-white. Place an Icelandic sheepskin on the back of the sofa or armchair. Cushion or sheepskin: these two decorative objects have the advantage of being easily movable according to your desires.

To bring maximum softness to your room, also dress the floor. This is a good way to create a complete universe. For this, several solutions exist. Among them, the round sheepskin rug can be placed at the foot of the tree . We see you coming: you can already imagine the scene of the opening of the gifts placed on the rug. Depending on its size, loved ones can even gather directly on it. If you prefer, you can also position a rectangular sheepskin rug to frame the living room area which is often close to the tree. With these white sheepskin elements, you create a soft and warm universe at the same time.

Style #2: A traditional Christmas decoration in red and white

What if you went for a traditional style by combining red and white? For many, these two shades bring back childhood memories. Keep the tradition alive by adopting a style based around shades of red and white . This can only leave good memories for children... and adults.

Let's start with red! This can be manifested by a traditional and essential red sheepskin . It has the advantage of adapting to all situations. You position it where you want according to your furniture and decorative elements already present in your living room.

For the dining room or living room, why not opt for a red cowhide . It respects the traditional Christmas colors while bringing authenticity to the room. Placing a cowhide under a dining room table or under a coffee table allows you to delimit a space where you can meet together .

Once the red elements are defined, add white decorative elements like the sheepskin pillows seen in the first all-white decorating style.

If you opt for this traditional red & white style, know that these two colors can fit very well in a rustic style as well as a modern style.

Style #3: Elegant Black and White Christmas Decoration

At Christmas and New Year, we often want to welcome our loved ones. It's the perfect time to make your interior as elegant as possible. How? We suggest you play with shades of black and white (or ecru) to create a chic and festive atmosphere .

For the living room, a decorating tip is to alternate black and white decorative objects to create a strong visual contrast and draw the eye to the objects . If you choose a black rug like the black dyed cowhide rug , then put single-sided white sheepskin cushions . Similarly, you can dress a sofa seat, an armchair or create an extra seat on the floor with a black or white Icelandic sheepskin (with ecological tanning). The long hairs of an Icelandic sheepskin add volume and material. Visually, this type of skin in rugs, cushions, or poufs will create a real interesting contrast.

In this type of decor that is both sober and elegant, it is always preferable to favor the most natural materials possible. There are several reasons for this:

• You are banking on noble materials which reinforce this sought-after chic aspect;
• You attract more attention through material effects (the famous texture);
• You reinforce this aspect of sobriety and simplicity that you want to give to your room.

By opting for a chic black and white decoration and using noble natural materials (such as cowhide or sheepskin), you will be able to create an atmosphere that is both simple and elegant.

Whatever Christmas decoration you choose for this year, treat yourself and listen to your desires of the moment. The goal is to spend a pleasant time with your family in a festive atmosphere where you feel good.

The entire Peau de Vache team wishes you happy holidays surrounded by your loved ones. Enjoy each of these moments spent together, gathered in your living room and in your dining room.
