Choosing the right fiber--Leather

When I first heard that rugs were going to be offered in leather, I did not know exactly what to say. It seemed like a goofy idea to put it mildly. I personally was curious however, so the sales rep brought his wares into my office.

I was really pleasantly surprised. Rugs made of leather can either be flat skins that are very low profile, or they can be sliced into very thin strips and put on their end close to each other. The result of this is a really floppy groovy textural shag rug.

There is not a whole lot more to report about leather rugs. They hold up very very well surprisingly. They can be cleaned by shaking them out, and a vacuum withOUT a beater bar works well for more day to day cleaning. Leather rugs can add an incredible fashion statement to your home with very little cost since they start in the $299 range for a 5x8 size (5x8 size rugs are usually used beneath a coffee table or in a small foyer).

It really is incredible how may different ways rug manufacturers come up to wow the senses. When I thought I had seen it all, out comes a rug made of leather. My hesitation turned to a warm embrace as soon as I saw the product. I am sure you will enjoy it as well.

The Pros of Leather Rugs

1) High Fashion, low cost

2) Every home should have a conversation piece in it. This definitely is one.

The Cons of Leather Rugs

1) Sort of awkward to clean. Spills tend to get absorbed into shag leather rugs. If they are natural color and the spill is a natural color it tends to just blend in.

Leather rugs can add a really intriguing element to the home. If you have any questions about our leather rugs just let me know. You are always welcome to leave a comment as well...I dig them! :)
