Cowhiderugs – Natural, Unique & Built to Last
A cowhide rug is not just another floor covering — it is a natural, one-of-a-kind piece that brings warmth, texture and character into a space.
At Cowhiderugs, we specialise in carefully selected hides that are chosen for their quality, markings and durability. No two rugs are ever the same, which means every piece you see is completely individual.
Whether you are styling a modern interior, a coastal home or a more rustic space, cowhide rugs offer a versatile and timeless foundation.
Why Choose a Cowhide Rug?
Cowhide rugs have remained consistently popular because they solve multiple problems at once:
- They are durable and hard-wearing, ideal for high-traffic areas
- Naturally stain resistant and easy to maintain
- Sit flat and work well on timber, tiles or carpet
- Add organic texture without overpowering a room
synthetic alternatives, a genuine cowhide improves with age and use.
Each Rug is Completely Unique
One of the defining features of a cowhide rug is that no two are ever identical.
Variations include:
- Natural colour tones (brown, black, white, brindle)
- Markings and pattern distribution
- Shape and symmetry
This uniqueness is what makes cowhide rugs so appealing — you are not buying a mass-produced item, but a natural product with its own character.
Sizes & What to Expect
Most cowhide rugs fall within a general size range rather than fixed dimensions.
Typical sizing:
- Special(Small): approx. 2.5 – 3.5 sqm
- Medium(Standard): approx. 3.5 – 4.5 sqm
- Extra Large(De Luxe): approx. 4.5 – 5.5 sqm
Because each hide is natural, slight variations in shape and size are part of the appeal.

How to Style a Cowhide Rug
Cowhide rugs are extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of ways:
- Under a coffee table to anchor a living space
- Layered over carpet for added texture
- In bedrooms for warmth and softness underfoot
- As a feature piece in minimal or neutral interiors
They work particularly well when paired with timber, leather and natural materials.
Easy Care & Maintenance
One of the major advantages of cowhide rugs is how easy they are to look after.
- Vacuum lightly as needed
- Shake outdoors to remove dust
- Spot clean with a damp cloth
- Avoid excessive moisture
With basic care, a quality cowhide rug will last for many years.
