Cowhide Furniture and Layout Ideas For Your Mountain Lodge or Ranch
Fads come and go, but hair-on hide has maintained its status as the most popular option in thoughtful western home interiors. Now that you know the benefits of cowhide furniture, let’s talk about some furniture design ideas and how to place them in different rooms of your lodge or ranch.
Your Living Room is the Heart of the Home
Your living room is not just for impressing your guests, but also a space where you want to spend some quality time alone or with your family. That's an important deciding factor in both the furniture designs and the layout.
Anchor It with a Statement Piece
Start with a cowhide sofa or sectional facing your main feature, whether it’s a stone fireplace or a massive window with mountain views. A statement sofa or sectional centers the room and becomes the anchor for the rest of the furniture in your living room.
Cowhide Sofa and Sectional Design Ideas

- A modern sofa with button-tufted red leather, black croc-embossed trim, and black and white speckled cowhide.
- A linen-covered sectional with quilted brown leather and light brindle cowhide.
Create a Cozy Conversation Zone
If you have a large living room, create a smaller conversation zone with a couple of cowhide recliners or swivel chairs and a small coffee table or end table. The ideal place would be near a big window or beside a built-in bookshelf. These cozy nooks will prove useful when you’re having a big party or want to spend a quiet evening with a book.

- A bustle-back recliner or chair with distressed leather, rolled arms, and dark brindle or tri-color cowhide.
