It's that time of year again. Spring is approaching and the need to update our home decor is a top priority. To bring spring colours into your home, you will need to repaint some walls, possibly buy some new furniture, put lighter curtains on the windows and last (but hopefully not least) dress the floors. On that last point, just before you go shopping, I'd like you to consider whether you should buy cowhide rugs instead of the usual options. Here's why:

1. Cow skin is naturally beautiful

When we talk about cowhide, we are referring to natural cowhide and cattle hair. It has a natural shine, it's really soft and if tanned properly it's odorless too. Cowhide adds warmth and a touch of luxury to any room you use it in. Notice that most cowhides on the market are a by-product of the food industry. No animal was harmed, so you get a beautiful home. The industry just found a way to not waste what was left over from all the burgers we consume.

2. Each cowhide is unique

Cowhide is a natural material. Each animal skin has unique markings, colour tones and distribution, colour variations, shape and size. Nature does not repeat itself. When you buy a natural cowhide rug, you can be assured that no one will have the exact same piece you have. Nice, huh?

3. Cowhide rugs are hypoallergenic

According to the Handbook of Occupational Dermatology (from the L. Kanerva, P. Elsner, JE Wahlberg, HI Maibach ), skin allergy is actually quite rare. In fact, in most cases, it is an allergy to the skin. Chrome (a chemical used in tanning) and not on the skin itself. On the other hand, synthetics are high on the allergy list.

4. It is extremely durable

The skin of cows developed over millennia of evolution to be able to protect the animal from harsh weather conditions. This alone can guarantee that - with a little care - it can withstand high traffic on it, even in the busiest areas of a home or office.

5. Offers many stylish options

Natural cowhide has an essential simplicity that best suits traditional rural homes and resorts. Improved branded cowhides (dyed or in intricate designs) fit in with modern urban homes. Make it the unique focal point of your decor and draw attention, or combine it with other types of cowhide or fur to give it a more universal feel. Cowhide can have more uses than just floor rugs: it makes an excellent furniture choice or can even decorate a wall.

6. Believe it or not, it's cost-effective

Yes, I know what you're thinking: How is this possible? Have you seen these price tags ; With proper care, cowhide rugs can remain in good condition for a lifespan that surpasses most synthetic alternatives. It will probably even outlast you (as ghoulish as that sounds). It's a one-time investment you'll have for life. Add in the low maintenance costs and you can see how the savings accumulate in the long run.
