These Cozy Shearling Chairs Are All the Rage Right Now

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Whether it's with textures, lighting or color, creating a cozy interior helps us feel happy, safe and warm while lounging at home. As Scandinavian design remains a popular home trend, we're seeing a huge appreciation for shearling or sheepskin chairs, whether it's in a living room, dining room or bedroom design. For those wanting to copy this homey trend, we've rounded up the best shearling chairs — none of which are actually made from lamb hide, as the natural material is pricey and often harder to maintain than shearling-like fabrics.

"The soft texture and plushness of shearling create a cozy yet sophisticated seating option, making a space feel instantly more inviting," says Lindsie Davis, principal designer of Blueberry Jones Design. "Shearling has become a popular choice for textural furnishings because it adds a necessary layer of tactile richness that complements other materials in the room, like wood, leather and metal. Shearling chairs capture the essence of Hygge, a Danish concept centered around coziness."

As mentioned, we've included faux shearling chairs, which are typically upholstered in soft wool, boucle or sherpa fabrics. Shearling chairs come in various styles, such as statement dining room chairs, stylish swivel chairs and lounge-worthy reading chairs. While the classic shearling chair is white or cream, we've included colorful and black shearling chairs as well. Depending on your budget, shop quality shearling chairs under $100 or luxury finds that are worth the splurge.
