Cowhide XL

XL cowhides are the perfect choice if you’re looking for something big: large enough to fill a spacious room and make a real statement, and just a bit more readily available than the very largest XXL size. Below, I’ll tell you what to look for.

Why choose an XL cowhide?

In a spacious room, a small rug can easily get lost. An XL hide, on the other hand, fills the space beautifully and becomes a stunning focal point—under the coffee table, in front of the sofa, or right in the middle of the room. It’s the ideal way to add warmth, comfort, and a touch of luxury to a slightly larger space, without immediately going for the absolute largest size.

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 XL cowhide?

An XL cowhide has a surface area starting at 4.00 m², with approximate dimensions of 240 × 220 cm—about 2.40 meters long. That’s a substantial, generous hide that looks stunning 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 measure your space at home to make sure it fits.

What kinds of spaces is an XL cowhide suitable for?

An XL hide looks its best in slightly more spacious rooms:

• in the living room, as a central rug under or partially under the coffee table;
• In the bedroom, next to the bed: this way, you’ll never step on a cold floor;
• the entryway, the kitchen, or the guest room;
• creative spaces such as a reading room, study, or studio.

How to use an XL cowhide in your home

• As a rug: lay it flat on a dry, level floor, in the middle of the living room, under the coffee table, or partially under your sofa. Sturdy and naturally non-slip.
• Over your couch or armchair: drape it (partially) over the seat for a playful look. Great for households with pets: this way, you can protect your couch or chair right away.
• On the wall: as wall decor, an XL hide is an impressive eye-catcher and a beautiful alternative to a painting.

Is an XL cowhide the right size?

Not sure if an XL hide will fit in your room? First, measure your floor space and compare it to the dimensions listed for each product. If you want something even bigger, there are XXL hides; if it doesn’t quite fit, an M/L might be a better choice. 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

Prefer a specific color?

Of course, you’ll also want to choose an XL hide based on color. For example, check out the classic black-and-white or warm brown-and-white cowhides, or browse through all the cowhides and filter by size XL.

How do I care for an XL cowhide?

Very little maintenance. Cowhides have short hair: just vacuum them occasionally on a low setting, without a rotating brush. Shaking out such a large hide is difficult, so there’s no need to do that. Simply dab any stains with a slightly damp cloth. You can find detailed tips on maintaining and cleaning cowhides.
