Animal Rugs

The first type of rugs were animal area rugs, made out of real animal skins and placed on the floor of caves to provide insulation and warmth. Some people also placed fresh animal skins and pelts in the entrances to their caves in the hopes that the appearance and smell would keep predators away. Of course, nowadays, rugs that look like animal pelts are simulated, but the aesthetic affect and the warmth and insulation that they provide remains the same.

Animal rugs featuring specific types of animals are a great way to compliment and enhance any decorating scheme. If your favorite animal is an elephant, for example, an animal rug featuring playful elephants may be the perfect accessory for you. If you are an avid hunter or fisherman, a rug that depicts a hunting or fishing scene is a great way to showcase this. Maybe you have a tropical-themed room in your home. If so, a rug featuring bright tropical fish will fit in perfectly. The possibilities are endless.

Animal print rugs are also very popular, both for the living room and kitchen as well as the bedroom. The most popular type by far are leopard prints, followed closely by zebra stripes. These types of prints are versatile and can compliment many different decorating themes. Along with contemporary rugs, animal rugs are great for even the most modern homes.
