Cowhide

Name: Cowhide
Brand: Art of the Loom
SKU: COWHIDE

Cowhide combines a pale cream ground with broad, irregular black and brown markings, creating the recognisable character of a natural cowhide. The softly blurred edges and slightly tactile-looking surface give the pattern an organic, relaxed feel.

About this fabric

The cream base reads warm rather than stark, while the deep black areas provide strong contrast and the brown patches add earthy depth. Large, uneven markings spread across the surface, with smaller broken spots appearing between the main shapes for a convincing hide-like rhythm. The visible surface has a softly brushed, indistinct quality rather than a crisp geometric finish. No performance features are noted in the supplied details.

How to use it

Pair this warm cream, black and brown colourway with dark timber, cognac leather or simple neutral upholstery, allowing the irregular pattern to act as the room’s main statement.

Use this high-contrast cowhide pattern to bring a warm, relaxed statement to upholstered seating or occasional pieces.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cowhide without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
