Zebra Rug

Animal and animal print rugs are available in a wide variety of species, such as giraffe, leopard, cheetah, tiger, and zebra rug. They are used to complement and accentuate the décor of a room and make a statement wherever they are placed. Perhaps best suited to contemporary or modern surroundings, a zebra rug, with its traditional black-and-white stripes, can serve as either an accent piece or as the focal point of your room.

Size of Zebra Rug

A real zebra rug is roughly 8’ x 5’ in size and often includes the mane, tail, head, eyes, and ears. Available with a white, beige or cream background, all real zebra rugs have distinct markings on them that make each skin unique. Oftentimes, the rugs are backed with felt to ensure that it lays flat on your floor and doesn’t slip. A disadvantage to owning a real zebra skin rug is that they often have a pervading odor, due to the fact that they come from a formerly live animal. Another disadvantage is that many of us shy away from items made from animal pelts so your rug will not be attractive to a significant number of your guests and visitors.
