Cowhide Rugs – Stunning Rugs For Your Floor

Express your inner cowboy

You don’t have to be from the dusty American West or the rural English countryside to bring the great outdoors into your home. Cowhide rugs instantly evoke the beauty of open spaces without all the clutter. An instant hit for a child’s room, study or rustic living room, these rugs easily complement furniture and wall color choices. It’s the perfect way to complete a Southwestern-themed décor or provide an eclectic finishing touch to any transitional style. Even a modern room can benefit from the striking, abstract shape of a cowhide rug.

Design with health in mind

Cowhide rugs are hypoallergenic. If you want the luxury of animal skin but have skin allergies, this may be the perfect solution. Very few people are allergic to cows, the hair of the die is short, resistant and does not accumulate large amounts of dust or dander. Moths and insects are not attracted to cowhide rugs like they are to wool rugs. Those with allergies to synthetic materials like nylon and polyester will find relief with these natural rugs.

Good for the environment and your peace of mind

Environmentally conscious homeowners are always looking for ways to reduce the use of chemicals and synthetics in their living spaces. Cowhide rugs are 100 percent natural in every way. Its only carbon footprint is in its processing and shipping, and cowhide rugs can be sourced locally almost anywhere in the world. They are also a way to “reuse” what would normally be thrown away. Just as early hunter-gatherers sought to use every part of the animals they hunted, cowhide rugs come from meat processing plants. No animal is killed simply for its fur.

Durability that is easy to clean and maintain

Cowhide rugs do not need to be washed or vacuumed to keep them looking new. They do not require dry cleaning or special cleaning solutions. Its short “pile” doesn’t trap dirt that can’t be removed with a broom or gently cleaned with a little warm soapy water. It’s easy to keep them fresh with a nice smoothie or two outdoors just a few times a year! Cowhide doesn’t wear out like silk and wool rugs, even in high-traffic conditions.

Unlimited colors and patterns

There are as many shapes and colors of leather rugs as there are cows. Choose any breed from the golden and reddish browns of brindle to the crisp blacks and whites of Jersey or Hereford to find the look that’s right for you.
