Style Tip 1: Hide rugs, especially cowhide rugs, are extremely durable. They can take spills, traffic or whatever else you have to throw at them with minimal need for care. Just brush in the direction of the hair and voilá.
Style Tip 2: Hide rugs offer an organic shape that can break up the possibly mundane shapes of other rugs. Layer hide rugs for an elevated look that suits any design preference.
