Recently, I had to espouse the style benefits of a cowhide rug (one of MHS’s favorite things) to a vegetarian client, which (as you might imagine) is not the easiest sell. From a design perspective, there was no other option for her space, but I first granted the request to search for a good faux option- with depressing results. Sometimes there is no substitute for the real thing, but in this case, I wasn’t yet aware of FLOR’s foray into faux.

Available in every conceivable color and with the pattern already drawn on the back of each tile, this is, as far as I’m concerned, the only reasonable alternative.
