Cowhide furniture is the ultimate décor when you are collecting pieces for a Southwestern-inspired room. Whether you want to summon the image of a Texas cowboy settling in after a hard day’s labor or escape to a ranch home in Montana, cowhide furniture will help you get there.
Southwest-style interior design is at the height of its popularity and you may be wondering how to tie the rest of the room together on your walls. Now that you have the jewels of your décor - your cowhide rug and cowhide pillows - all on display, how can you really show them off? Here are the 10 best wallpaper designs that will complement your favorite items.
What really works for this wallpaper is its subtlety. Called “Southwest Geometric,” it is not the star of the show and it does not want to be. Instead, it gives off subtle hunts of Southwest style while creating a beautiful backdrop for your cowhide floor mat to just pop.
Maybe the best part of this wallpaper is its versatility. Say you get sick of the print in a few years and want a change. Or you are in an apartment that will not allow wallpaper. This one is a stick and peel, meaning you can easily remove it when you are done without leaving residue behind.
When you want to make a bold statement on your wall, go for this Urban Tribal Pattern No. 5. This is for the people who really want to cause a buzz on social media. The beautiful pattern is eye-catching but has subtle colors reminiscent of your cowhide furniture that won’t clash with them. Putting up a cowhide lamp on the side will help complete the look.
The most inspiring aspect of this wallpaper is that it is not made of your traditional material. This is made with wooden panels and you can customize the size for your wall. It is simple to mount on your wall, eco-friendly, and natural.
This is another simple style, but it is anything but boring. When you want a look that is more refined but still speaks to that Southwestern essence, give this Groundworks Navajo Stone wallpaper a try. The cream colors are a powerful backdrop for your cowhide furniture. They embrace the essence of Santa Fe without screaming it. This is not a stick and peel wallpaper, but with a classic style like this, you will not want to change it out.
This joyful wallpaper is another bold yet simple option to show off your cowhide. The yellow sun in all its forms evokes the colors of the Southwest, with the geometric pattern giving a nod to the structural style of Aztec designs. It would be a perfect backdrop for some desert plants, like succulents and cacti.
You can remove this wallpaper, so you do not have to be married to the look. Once you are ready for a change, just peel it off and try something else on this list.
Cowhide goes together with Southwestern styles for obvious reasons. The Southwest is the birthplace of cowboys and their interior decorating styles, after all. But having a cowhide rug does not mean you are only allowed to go for desert looks. Instead, get a wallpaper in a rich regal color like this Grace Teal Wallpaper.
The pops of gold will complement the natural colors of your furniture and truly allow it to be the attention grabber it is. But instead of having the usual backdrop, you can use this wallpaper to make everything look high class.
As the owner of cowhide, you obviously enjoy aesthetics from the animal kingdom. Fully embrace this with the Andrew Martin Otomi Desert Wallpaper. This wallpaper features the birds and animals that frequent Southern Mexico, along with the beautiful flowers of the desert. This area of Mexico has had a tremendous influence on the southwestern portion of the United States.
The bold design will turn heads, but the subtle colors will not contrast with your furniture. In fact, many of the shapes are reminiscent of the natural shapes in your cowhide rug or pillow.

The Terrazo Removeable Wallpaper is a great choice because it is a way to get color into your space without overwhelming the confident choice of cowhide in your space. There are beautiful, intense desert colors here. The small splashes almost remind you of tiny bits of stone embedded in earth or rock.
The natural vibe will complement your furniture well. But at the same time, it certainly will not blend in. The colors and pattern would be vibrant in any space. And because it is removeable, you can pick it without second-guessing your choice too much.
There is something about burnt orange that really takes well to cowhide. Maybe it is the desert vibes that that color immediately evokes. And this wallpaper has that unique flavor down. Contrasting cowhide with the Granada wallpaper would give your space a more natural and toned down feel. You can create an atmosphere of restoration with these natural elements and calming colors.
This list has promoted a lot of wallpapers with the warm colors of the desert sand or summer sky. But what about something intense and dark like this Southwest Geometric Smooth and Peel wallpaper? This would be perfect for a cream-colored cowhide rug or other accent pieces.
What works here is that it combines this familiar Aztec pattern with black and white colors and a distressed style. It could help lift the room and give your cowhide elements a more modern appeal.
There are so many things you could choose to do with your new cowhide furniture. You may feel like a recognizable piece like that will pigeonhole you into a certain look. That is far from true. With a little inspiration and some creative re-framing, you can decorate in all the styles you love and take them up a notch.
