Reindeer Hides: Timeless Heritage, Care, and Styling in Your Home

When it comes to natural home décor, few pieces carry the same warmth, tradition, and elegance as authentic reindeer hides. Rooted in the heritage of the Sámi people of Scandinavia, reindeer hides have been cherished for centuries as both a functional and symbolic part of Nordic life. Today, they bring rustic charm, Nordic coziness, and timeless luxury to modern homes.

The Heritage of Reindeer Hides

The Sámi people, the indigenous inhabitants of the Arctic regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, have long relied on reindeer for survival. Hides were used for warmth, bedding, and ceremonial purposes, connecting deeply with Sámi culture and traditions. Each hide carries a story of resilience, sustainability, and respect for nature.

At Buffalo Depot, we honor this heritage by sourcing authentic reindeer hides that celebrate both tradition and craftsmanship. Each hide is unique in pattern and tone, making it a one-of-a-kind piece of history for your home.

How to Care for Reindeer Hides

Reindeer hides are naturally durable, but they require mindful care to preserve their beauty:

• Keep dry: Reindeer hides are not suitable for damp or high-humidity areas. Use them indoors in dry spaces to avoid shedding.

• Shake & brush: Regularly shake the hide outside and use a soft brush to maintain its natural texture.

• Spot clean only: If spills happen, gently dab with a dry cloth—never soak.

• Rotate occasionally: If using as a rug, rotate every few months to balance natural wear.

With simple care, your reindeer hide will last for years as a treasured accent piece.

Styling With Reindeer Hides

Reindeer hides are incredibly versatile and instantly elevate your interior design:

• As a Rug: Place it in front of a fireplace or under a coffee table for cozy Scandinavian vibes.

• On Furniture: Drape over an armchair, sofa, or wooden bench for a rustic yet refined look.

• Layered Accents: Combine with cowhide rugs or sheepskin throws to create layered warmth and texture.

• Bedroom Luxury: Use at the foot of the bed for a lodge-inspired retreat.

Wherever you style them, reindeer hides add character, warmth, and heritage to your space.
