Many years ago, people knew the value of cowhide or animal hide rugs. Hunters not only hunted for meat but they also hunted for the hides to put in their homes. The hunters knew the value and quality of the original rugs made from pure animal skin. The farmers raised their cattle for their meat supply as well as the hides and furs. Cowhides were useful in providing warmth in the home as well as clothing for the family. Some families used the cowhides for wall coverings; some used them on the floor as accent rugs. The rugs were essential in adding warmth to the drafty homes. It was nothing to walk into an older home and find animal skin rugs on the floor especially by the fireplace.
Some hotels, bed and breakfasts, and specialty houses know the value of these rugs. Each bedroom will feature a different style or colour of cowhide. The rugs are also popular when they are hung on the wall as a visual piece. These rugs give a cozy and homelike feel to any residence. Colour choices range from black and white, brown and white, speckled, brindle, tan, black or white. They also are available in tri colour pieces that feature blacks, browns, and whites. These colourful pieces of nature are each unique and no two pieces are the same.
Cowhide rugs are relatively inexpensive to own. They are easy to care for and very easy to clean. Washing these rugs with soap and water will enhance the life of the rug. Original old world tanning keeps the rug in its most natural state while adding durability to the actual piece of hide. Most bedrooms show off the cow skin rug on the floor by the bed. When stepping off the bed, the cowhide rug provides cushion as well as a soft area for your feet. No more stepping onto the cold hard floor when you incorporate the cowhide rugs into your décor.
