M/L is the most popular size in the collection, and you can tell by the selection: this size offers the widest variety of colors and patterns. Below, I’ll explain why the M/L size is so versatile and what to look for.
Why choose a medium/large cowhide?
The M/L is the perfect middle ground. Large enough to serve as a rug that really sets the mood, yet manageable enough for an average to spacious room. Not sure about the size? Then you’ll almost always be right with an M/L—it’s the safe, obvious choice that fits in most homes.
What’s more, this is the size I have the largest stock of. Whether you’re looking for a classic black-and-white, a warm brown-and-white, or something truly unique: in M/L, you’re most likely to find exactly the color and pattern you’re looking for.
Plus, it has all the familiar qualities of a genuine cowhide: it lasts for years, is naturally non-slip, and every piece is completely unique.
How big is an M/L cowhide?
An M/L cowhide has a surface area of 3.00 to 3.99 m², with approximate dimensions of 220 × 200 cm, making it about 2.20 meters long. A great size that fits perfectly in most living rooms. Since every hide is unique in size, I measure them all in centimeters; you’ll find the exact dimensions listed with each product, so you can check at home to see if it fits.
For which rooms is an M/L cowhide suitable?
Precisely because the M/L size is so versatile, it fits almost anywhere:
- in the living room, as a central rug under or in front of the coffee table;
- In the bedroom, next to the bed: this way, you’ll never step on a cold floor;
- the dining or sitting area, the entryway, or the home office;
- a reading nook or study for a warm, peaceful atmosphere.
How to use an M/L cowhide in your home
- As a rug: lay it out on a dry, flat floor, in the middle of the living room, under the coffee table, or in front of the couch. Sturdy and naturally non-slip.
- On your sofa or armchair: drape it loosely over the seat or backrest for extra warmth and a playful touch.
- On the wall: as wall decor, an M/L hide is a beautiful eye-catcher and an alternative to a painting.

Is M/L the right size for you?
Not sure if an M/L hide will fit in your room? First, measure your floor space and compare it to the dimensions listed for each product. Want something bigger? Then there are the XL and XXL hides. If you have a smaller space or are looking for an accent piece, S or XS might be a better fit. I’ve categorized the hides by size:
- XS: smaller than 2.00 m²
- S: 2.01–2.99 m²
- M/L: 3.00–3.99 m²
- XL: starting at 4.00 m²
- XXL: the very largest pieces
