June Fave: Salt & Pepper Black and White Cowhide Rug

What’s black and white and beautiful all over? The Salt & Pepper Black and White Cowhide Rug!

Few choices offer the versatility and performance of a natural Brazilian cowhide rug. The thick hair on hide leather can stand up to frequent foot traffic, including kids, pets, or guests prone to spilling. Maintenance is virtually fuss free, requiring only occasional turning and either vacuuming or shaking out. Unlike traditional rugs that soak up stains, liquids puddle on the surface of the hide and rarely require chemicals to clean up. Years of enjoyment will lend an attractive patina that gets better with time. The Salt & Pepper Black and White Cowhide Rug is simply a brilliant choice for an active lifestyle home.

Beyond the economy of the this workhorse, the good looks of the Salt & Pepper Black and White Cowhide Rug are hard to beat. It is a go-to choice for creating a roomscape that is contemporary yet timeless. The subtle pattern features a peppering of dense black markings across a cloudy white background, which coordinates easily with transitional or modern decor. The sinuous silhouette  is great for breaking up a traditional square seating arrangement. This natural hide rug commands a presence in an entryway, and can lend warmth and softness in a bedroom. Or try layering more than one hide for a chic bohemian vibe.
