What else could you want?

Rug Placement

One of the key considerations is the size of your space. Determining how many rugs you actually need to fill is crucial to making the right rug choice and picking the placement for it.

A larger room may require several rugs, while a smaller enclosed space may benefit from having one big rug. A rug can be placed in an empty space in the middle of the room or under a table, chair, couch or any other furniture pieces depending on your layout and interior. Many like to place their rugs right at the entrance or under sitting areas to ensure feet comfort. Consider your furniture and other accessories in the space to make the correct placement choice for your rug. It is important to have balance in the space between all the decorations, accessories and main interior pieces. The placement of the rug can also depend on the color or pattern of the rug you choose, which will inevitably influence the atmosphere of the whole space.

An idea to consider is piling up a number of sheepskin rugs to create a layered effect. Such a concept will add style and place more attention on a chosen area and space. This can be achieved by placing a decorative rug on top of a plain one for cohesion. 

An option not many think of is walkway rugs, which completely cover them. If that is the choice you make, additional smaller pieces could be a great way to create balance and harmony in your space. 

Size

Determining the size of the rug is essential to making the right choice. We want you to feel comfortable and satisfied in your space. At Furmoo, customers have the option of picking cowhide rugs that completely and partially cover walkways as well as small staple rugs for decoration. If you have children and are choosing rugs for comfort we recommend getting a bigger piece. If you are filling an office space we recommend our classics such as, the deluxe sheepskin rug and berry blue brazil cowhide rug.

Whether you pick small or large rugs, we have the best design for your exact preference. 

Do cowhides make good rugs?

Yes! Cowhide and fur rugs are the best rug option due to their high quality and life duration. They are also extremely comfortable, and resistant to bed bugs, dust mites and mould growth. 

Can you vacuum a cowhide rug?

Yes! It is fine to vacuum a rug, but we advise you to use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner and vacuum the rug in the direction of the hairs to prevent any unwanted hair loss.

Cowhide Rug Care:

One of the most essential steps of rug care is consistent cleaning maintenance. Vacuuming your rug every so often will ensure it remains in good condition. We advise you to use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner and vacuum the rug in the direction of the hairs to prevent any unwanted hair loss.

To wash your rug we recommend using special cleaning soap for carpets 

Never soak your rug when washing to avoid long term damage. You can also use a steam cleaner if your rug is especially dirty. Using a scotch guard or another fabric protector can help your cowhide rug repel stains before they even happen! You can apply it after cleaning your rug.

How long will a cowhide rug last?

Our rugs last for years. As long as you take good care of them you won’t need another rug in your lifetime! 

How can you tell if a cowhide rug is real?

You will know if it’s a genuine cowhide rug as the smell of good leather is hard to mistake. A real cowhide rug will not have the smell of chemicals or the plasticky odour of synthetic materials. The texture is another way to test the rug, a real cowhide rug should be fine and soft not synthetic or rough.
