2015 is the year of the sheep in the Chinese horoscope. Looking for some ideas about the figure of sheep in interiors, I was surprised how often sheep patterns, sculptures and pictures are used to decorate homes.
Should I really be surprised? The sheep is a gentle and calm animal. People love it. Observing the pictures, I realise that sheep images and patterns create a charming and welcoming ambience. I love the sheep pictures as they express the beauty of sheep and nature.
The sheep is described as "The White Jade" because of its precious and delicate skin. Since ancient times it has been used to keep us warm. In interiors, it is not different, it brings warmth to the space.
Cushions, blankets and rugs with sheep patterns give a cozy look to spaces as bedrooms or children's rooms.
Nevertheless, there are also some eccentric ideas. The artist pair Claude and Francoise-Xavier Lalanne created in the 60's "Moutons de Laine" which became one of the most recognisable icons from their work. Absurd or adorable?

Coco Chanel found it très chic and had these wooly life sheep in her Parisian apartment. Marcos Jacobs and Valentino own them too. What about you? Would you have one of them at home?
