Refresh Your Home This Spring With Cowhide

Spring comes with a sense of renewal, and bringing in natural textures and patterns like cow print can give your home a whole new feel, without a big overhaul. Our luxury cowhide rugs and bespoke cowhide ottomans are a lovely way to do just that!

They add warmth, texture, and a natural element to your space this season, all while supporting skilled female artisans in rural South Africa.

Read on to find out how our authentic cowhide pieces with their distinctive cow print patterns can help rejuvenate your home this spring.

Nguni Rugs That Make a Room Feel Brand New

A cowprint rug brings instant character to any space that needs a little spring refresh. Each one features unique textures, natural cow print markings, and earthy tones that work beautifully with spring colour palette.

Our cowhide rugs are sustainably sourced Nguni cowhides – South Africa’s indigenous cattle known for their rich heritage and beautiful patterns. These aren’t synthetic cow print rugs but authentic cowhide pieces. Each one is carefully selected for quality, softness, and distinctive markings which will enhance your spring decor.

Try layering one under your coffee table, draping one over an armchair, or using one to soften wooden floors.

You’ll find every colour to echo spring’s earthy tones in our collection, from classic black and white, to warm brown and white , to brindle, to champagne and even striking tricolour hides. 

And, if you’re after something extra unique, we also have our Blesbok and Springbok rugs available this season. (Sustainably sourced from conservation projects in South Africa.)

Natural, Durable Rugs For Spring

One of the best things about a cowhide rug is that it’s genuinely practical. Our hides are naturally hardwearing and easy to care for, so you won’t be fussing over spills or muddy footprints this spring! 

A quick shake outdoors or a light vacuum is usually all they need.

They’re also incredibly versatile, making them a perfect addition for high-traffic areas in your home like your living room, hallway or office, but just as at home in your bedroom or under your dining table. 

Bespoke Cowhide Ottomans for Stylish Storage and Seating

If you’re after a truly standout piece, our bespoke cowhide ottomans and footstools are it.

These upholstered ottomans bring together the rustic charm of Nguni cowhide with expert British craftsmanship, designed to be both beautiful and functional. Use one as a coffee table for displaying flowers, a footrest for enjoying longer evenings, or even as additional seating for gatherings…. They’re wonderfully versatile for spring living.

Each of our ottomans is made to order: you choose the hide you love, your dimensions, the style of the legs, feet colour, and even whether you’d like studs or a storage lid. 

And unlike man made cow print footstools, our pieces feature genuine cowhide with authentic markings and natural texture. Meaning, no two are ever the same! 

Support Ethical Cowhide Sourcing with Zulucow

Choosing a rug or ottoman from us at Zulucow aligns perfectly with spring’s themes of mindful renewal. Our hides are responsibly sourced as by-products of the food industry, and each piece provides sustainable employment for female artisans in rural South African communities.

Selecting authentic cowhide pieces rather than mass produced cow print alternatives for your spring update means you’re making a choice that supports sustainable craftsmanship and conscious consumption. (All values that connect with spring’s natural cycles).

The result is a spring home refresh with purpose… and beautiful design that’s made to last through this season and many more to come.
