Cowhide rugs are fast becoming one of the must-have home accessories of the moment, and you only need to look in the latest editions of any interior design magazines to see how versatile and stylish cowhide rugs can be.

If you want to deck your home out with the latest designer accent piece, read on to ensure you know exactly what to look for when choosing your cowhide rug.

The most important thing when choosing a cowhide rug is to go to a reputable supplier of cowhides, this way you will ensure you are only getting the best quality cowhides which have been professionally treated.

Cowhides should be salted and tanned to prevent the cowhide from smelling, and to minimise malting. This will ensure your cowhide will last a lifetime, without losing it’s suppleness and sheen. It will also prevent the cowhide from cracking.

Before choosing a cowhide you should take measurements of the area where the rug is to go and make sure your chosen hide will fit the space proportionally well.

You will also want to consider your existing decor, and choose a hide which is suitably coloured to match. If your room is decorated in neutral shades you will probably want to stick to the natural hides in neutral browns.

For a bolder statement you may want to experiment with a coloured cowhide or even a stylish animal print, such as a zebra cowhide rug.  The animal print cowhides are carefully stencilled to look like hides from different animals, and look stunning in any room.
