Small (2′ x 3′) sheepskin pelts can make a big impact when you place them in unexpected places, like a bathroom or dining room. A white pelt reads boho-luxe, especially when used as a bathmat.

Instead of splurging on a large sheepskin area rug, try layering a 3′ x 5′ sheepskin pelt on top of your current area rug. For an even more unique look, opt for black.

Texture is especially important in a minimal boho aesthetic. If you have a dining table bench, a 6′ (or longer) sheepskin runner is a stylish alternative to a bench cushion. How perfectly does a caramel colored pelt pair with this wooden dining table in this ‘California Cool’ style dining room?

Don’t have a dining bench? Place a medium sized sheepskin pelt on an armchair in any part of your home that needs an extra dose of cozy.

For a look that leans more towards the maximalist boho aesthetic, place a medium (3′ x 5′) sheepskin alongside patterned textiles. Throw pillows with vintage patterns are a great match for a sheepskin pelt. Don’t forget to style the room with house plants!
