If you have a log home, chances are you have at least one accent piece made of leather or animal hide.
And at some point, it will need cleaned (or at least freshened up a bit).
Here are some of the ways that leather rugs (cowhide rugs, animal skin rugs, etc.) can be used as a focal piece in your home decor:
- Cowhide and other leather rugs are often used to warm up cold floors — like stone, tile, and hardwood.
- Leather & hide are also used on upholstered furniture to create a warm and rustic cabin-like setting.
- Animal skin rugs and leather rugs are commonly draped on the backs of couches, chairs as decoration.
- Leather rugs and animal hides are often hung on walls to add warmth, texture, and color in an otherwise drab room.
Without a doubt, these beautiful and natural products add an authentic quality to the “cozy cabin” or “lodge-like” feel of a home.
However, it’s important that you know how to clean and repair your leather & hide rugs — so they’ll look good as new for years to come.
