Of course. the classic choice is the statement cowhide rug. With irregular shapes and patterns, cowhide rugs add a unique charm to any room. We love to see them used as a touch of warmth in a chic and modern living room or office, but they also blend beautifully with more rustic and antique pieces too. The beauty of cowhide is it’s color palette can pair well with almost anything.

Using cowhide as upholstery material is a great idea for some chic bar stools. The rich texture and warm neutral tones pair beautifully with metallic and wooden accents for a quirky take on the classic bar stool.

Cowhide chairs can make a big statement in your dining room, too. With an overlarge dining table and rustic chandelier, you’ll have an impressive Western-style setup that will certainly get your dinner guests talking.

It’s a little unconventional, but you can also use cowhide as a sofa material. This is a bold look that would look great in an eclectic, boho, or maximalist style of home.

Lastly, why not use cowhide as a more subtle accent piece? If you’re not ready to go full-on cowhide with rugs, wall hangings, or upholstery, you could still incorporate this material with a throw pillow or a blanket for your corner armchair.
