Stunning Cowhide Rugs

Cowhides are sophisticated, timeless, and trendy design pieces that make a space more inviting and attractive, while never compromising on style and elegance. Cowhide is at home in any décor space whether it be living, dining, or surprisingly a children’s playroom. A cowhide possesses natural beauty, is versatile, exceptionally hardwearing, and hypoallergenic.

Natural Beauty

Cowhide has been used for centuries due to its ability to fulfill a functional need and due to its durability. Cowhides now are statement pieces that naturally come in a plethora of colors, patterns, and prints, which add to the visual interest and statement that it makes in any space. The natural hues of cowhide include lovely shades of white, beige, black, brown, and red, which can blend in with any design and add a touch of natural beauty and charm. The abstract patterns are unique and can include speckled, spotted, and solid patterns making each carefully hand-stretched and cut cowhide rug one of a kind.

Versatility

There are no limits to the stunning ways in which cowhide’s versatility can add value and natural beauty to a room. It is so versatile that its organic shape can serve as a focal point that adds soft lines to a room with bare floors while maintaining its rugged profile. Cowhide can also be layered by placing it atop a natural fiber rug, which can serve to provide more depth and texture to a space.

Hardwearing and Hypo-allergenic

Cowhide is hardwearing enough to last in any area. The natural oils present in a cowhide make them resistant to most stains. The toughness of the cowhide makes them essentially indestructible and often they will last longer than synthetic rugs. These beautiful qualities make them perfect for spaces with heavy traffic, pets, and children. Unlike synthetic rugs or traditional carpets, cowhides are great in homes with allergy sufferers because cowhide does not release fibers into the air or trap allergens such as dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander.

Cleaning and Care

The best way to maintain the natural luster and beauty of a cowhide rug is to immediately clean up any spills before they reach the suede. A damp cloth and the use of a mild detergent are also a great way to maintain a cowhide rug. Rubbing a stain or spill in the direction of the hair will restore the rug to its natural beauty. Shaking out the rug or cleaning it with the hose attachment of a vacuum is a great way to get out dust and other surface particles that occur from everyday use.
