I had definite mixed feelings on writing a post about using faux animal heads in our interior decor. Thinking about animal heads, brings me back to my childhood when I walked into a friends house, and was welcomed everytime by what felt like the wilderness. Those poor little animals now mounted on polished wood, made me heart ache.

The interior topics that I usually cover, I feel passionate about and want to share with others to use and incorporate in their homes. But even though I may not like something, it doesn't mean I shouldn't write about it. So how do you feel about displaying a "head" on the wall? Do you think it's a {trend} or a {well-deserved design element} that will withstand time? Let’s explore some interior spaces to visually see if & how faux animal heads can enhance a space and be a true conversational show-stopper!

I recently incorporated an animal head in one of my interior design concept samples and thought it really pulled the space together to create a cohesive aesthetic.

Maybe not so bad....these spaces are quite chic and I DON'T feel like I'm in the {wilderness}...Do You?

Available in a range of styles, materials, colors, and textures....you'll find something that suits your interior style! Check out these cute finds by Ruby's Lounge

The mix of modern and traditional elements, creates such a sophisticated interior. And to top it off, the textured wall with the cardboard made faux animal head is a MUST HAVE!

I love how the antlers are 'watching over' and 'keeping guard' of the space.

Use ONE, Use MANY. If you're looking for some antlers or faux animal heads to decorate your space, take a look at these: Ballard Designs & Williams and Sonoma.

These 'heads' are popping up everywhere ~ Take a look at them displayed at the 2010 Las Vegas Market. This is a picture that Julie of Belle Maison snapped. Stark white profiles on an apple green wall...So CHIC!

These beauties don't have to cost a fortune either...MYO ~ here is a tutorial by Just Something I Made.

My thoughts are making a shift....I have to admit, I'm kind of digging the FAUX look. Animal heads (real and stuffed) have been a favorite of hunters for years, but the faux look is HOT right now! Will it be short lived or is this 'trend' a keeper? What do you think?
