20 Living Rooms Adorned with Cowhide Rugs
An area rug can add a huge impact to the look of our spaces especially in the living room. It can help define the space as well as add more beauty to it. Area rugs, as we all know, come in different colors, sizes, shapes and materials. In choosing one, you have to consider your household and how you use the area. We have shared some tips about this before and I know it would be very helpful for you. Since there are many types of area rugs, let us focus on one which is the cowhide area rug.
A cowhide rug is made from the natural unbleached skin and hair of a cow. It brings in a natural feel to the home, may be it in the bedroom, living room or dining room. Commonly, it comes in a unique form but there are also some that are rectangular in shape. Today, I have gathered some living rooms with cowhide rugs in them. Let us see how the designers used it in the different interiors.

Even with a wallpapered living space, a cowhide will still work well. Just don’t use printed furniture so it won’t look crowded.

I’d say this one has a subtle Scandinavian feel with pops of color from the throw pillows.

A black cowhide defined this area while a sheepskin adds some softness to the aura.

Now that you have seen the living rooms, you now have an idea of how you can arrange your space with a cowhide. You have seen also the palette that works well with the rug and its impact to the entire look of the space. I actually like the organic feel it adds to the space. It looks soft too and could bring that feel to the interior. How about you, what type of area rug do you prefer to use and for what reason?
