   Whenever you put a reindeer hide in a room, it ratchets up the interest factor in any room. When visitors come into the room, their eyes will automatically go towards the rug. The next thing that will go towards the rug is their hands, which will be greeted by soft, welcoming fur.



3. Animal rugs are extremely warm
