The Natural Beauty of Cowhide Rugs
When looking into options for remodeling and redecorating the home, there are a lot of things to consider: paint colors, furniture, wall decor and flooring. But one element that is often overlooked is how to make your floors or furniture stand out after the initial selection is made. A trendy option to instantly revamp your living room or bedroom is to select an all-natural and beautiful cowhide rug.
The versatility of cow rugs makes them perfect to add a rustic glamour to any home. They can be used as a throw rug over the back of that new sofa or across the foot of your bed. In addition, of course, they make an excellent centerpiece on your living room or bedroom floor.
One of the most obvious benefits visually to using a cowhide rug in your home decor is that they come in as large of a variety of colors and patterns as the cattle they come from do. In addition to this, because they are made from genuine cowhides, each one is completely unique and no two rugs will look alike. These factors mean that there is a perfect pattern of red brindle or brown and cream for any individual’s personal style. Matching color palettes is a cinch with so many natural shades to choose from.
But there are other advantages to furnishing your home with cow rugs than their lavish appearance. Since they are made from genuine leather and expertly treated, cowhide rugs provide a hypoallergenic alternative to other, lower quality flooring options. Anyone with allergies or who plans to entertain often will benefit from the assurance that the beautiful cowhide throw on their sofa, or the luxurious rug underfoot, not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the home, but ensures that it is safe to breathe deeply in too.
Finally, with cowhide rugs there is little need to worry about care and cleanup. They are simple to maintain. All one has to do is take it outside and shake it occasionally to keep it from gathering dust. If dirt or spills get on it, a cowhide rug can be gently brushed out with a plastic brush. In addition, because these rugs are made from genuine leather, they are sturdy and tough, holding up to a lifetime of use. They are even a match for animals and children, and will not wear through like cheaper carpeting choices.
