Hide rugs, and cowhides in particular, are a decor staple almost as enduring as wicker, marble, and the color beige. But recently, faux hide rugs have begun to outshine their vintage counterparts, as they mimic the classic design without harming animals.
And today, machine-washable rug company Ruggable has launched an entire collection of faux hide rugs in a range of sizes, prints, and shapes. A crowd favorite, especially among celebrities, Ruggable's new collection is pairing its signature durability with a style that lasts the ages. Spotted in the homes of Kyle Richards, Hannah Brown, and Jonathan Van Ness, Ruggable's original rugs have been praised for their easy maintenance, smart design, and longevity.
The new collection features 10 designs with medium pile thickness in prints like cheetah, cowhide, zebra, and tiger for a little pop of something wild. While they're available in standard sizes as well, the unique size for the faux hide styles are 4.5 by 6 feet.
For standard rug sizes, you can purchase a rug pad to go underneath (they're interchangeable for any same-size Ruggable rug), but these faux hide rugs come with specially-sized rug puds and have a non-slip grip material on the back. And they don't shed, so you don't have to worry about extra cleanup with these whimsical accent rugs.

They're made with a blend of recycled and virgin polyester and polyurethane, so no real animal hides are involved. The faux hide design gives you the look of this high-end trend, but without the use (or price) of real hide.
Best of all, these faux hide rugs are machine-washable, so when they've been on display for a bit and need a little refresh, you can simply throw them in the washer and dry using a low heat setting. Keep reading to see the standout designs from Ruggable's new collection.

As the most traditional type of hide rug, the cowhide is a staple, blending with modern and vintage design schemes alike. There are five different color options, and if you're going for something classic, choose either the signature black and white or the tan and ivory. If you're looking for a contemporary version (and are a fan of the mixed-metals look) there's even a black and brown hide, highlighting two bold designs in one rug.

For something with a little more edge, the tiger print faux hide rug has bold lines and two color options. The bright orange stripe can be the statement piece in an otherwise neutral room, perhaps near a white couch, by a wooden entry table, or in a white quartz kitchen. Conversely, the white stripe faux hide would easily blend with brown leather and textured furniture like rattan cane.

If The Cheetah Girls is your inspiration, there's a tasteful and sophisticated way to bring their signature print into your living room. You can go traditional with the natural cheetah (a brownish color) or contemporary with the white cheetah print; both offer bold, statement-making spots. If you typically gravitate toward neutrals but want a pop of something extra, these cheetah faux hides can do so with a hint of texture.

Like all of the rugs in this collection, they are resistant to shedding and can be cleaned via washer and dryer.
