If it's time to transform a tired and dated living room, re-style it for a fresh, pared down look placing a grey sheepskin rug by the hearth as a starting point.

Then get creative with modern colours for the décor scheme to produce a sleek, minimalist space adding a few cushions and lamps. Introduce a quad sheepskin rug if a sizeable space needs a cool focal point, it might even be used as a wall-hanging or draped on a sofa for an ultra decadent feel. 

Either way, these statement pieces can be used flexibly. For something a little different but bang on trend, try a grey shag pile or plain silver rug for stunning effect.
