Sheepskin Border Rugs Europe | Genuine NZ Sheepskin

Why Choose a Sheepskin Border Rug?

Make a statement in your home with our Sheepskin Border Rugs, individually crafted in New Zealand from carefully selected premium New Zealand sheepskins.

These impressive multi-pelt rugs feature a distinctive framed design, with the centre and surrounding border created from carefully matched sheepskins. Choose a contrasting centre and border for a striking two-tone effect, or the same colour throughout for a more subtle look.

Available in sizes from 4-pelt through to extra-wide 16-pelt designs, they're particularly suited to larger living rooms, bedrooms and open spaces where you want a substantial natural rug to become a feature of the room.

Our premium sheepskins are New Zealand-grown, with the finished rugs tanned and crafted in New Zealand using a gentle tanning process without harsh chemicals. This helps preserve the natural softness, lustre and character of the wool.

Premium New Zealand Sheepskin

Creating a large border rug requires considerable skill, particularly when selecting and positioning the individual pelts that form the centre and surrounding border.

Each sheepskin is carefully chosen for its wool density, softness, length, colour and overall appearance before being incorporated into the finished design. The pelts are then expertly joined to create the distinctive rectangular centre and framed border.

The result is a luxuriously soft long-wool rug that combines the natural character of genuine sheepskin with a more structured, decorative design.

Because sheepskin is a natural material, no two rugs will ever be exactly alike. Subtle variations in wool length, texture, colour and finished dimensions are part of what makes each rug unique.

Choose Your Centre & Border Colours

Our border rugs can be created in Ivory White, Honey, Grey, Chocolate and Black, allowing you to select a contrasting combination or use the same colour throughout.

Ivory White – A natural creamy-white with subtle cream and ivory undertones rather than a bright artificial white.

Honey – A warm golden shade that pairs beautifully with timber, leather and natural interiors.

Grey – A versatile medium grey that works particularly well in contemporary and neutral spaces.

Chocolate – A rich, deep brown that introduces warmth and depth and complements timber and earthy interior tones.

Black – A bold, sophisticated option that can create dramatic contrast within the border design.

For a statement piece, pair contrasting colours such as Ivory White and Black, Ivory White and Chocolate, or Ivory White and Grey. For a more understated look, choose the same colour for both the centre and border while retaining the distinctive framed construction.

As genuine sheepskin naturally varies, individual pelts are carefully selected and matched to achieve the most balanced overall appearance possible.

Sheepskin Border Rug Sizes

Our rectangular border rugs are available in a range of generous sizes:

• 4-Pelt Border: approx. 186 × 130 cm


• 6-Pelt Border: approx. 186 × 176 cm

Because every sheepskin has its own natural shape and each rug is individually crafted, finished measurements are approximate and may vary slightly.

Made to Order in New Zealand, Delivered to Europe

Every Sheepskin Border Rug is made to order in New Zealand and delivered directly to customers throughout Europe.

For each rug, individual sheepskins are selected and matched specifically for your chosen design, taking into consideration wool colour, length, density and overall appearance before the pelts are expertly joined together.

Please allow approximately 3–5 weeks for your rug to be made before shipping. Larger rugs may occasionally require additional time because of the number of closely matched sheepskins needed to achieve a consistent finished appearance.

Because each rug is individually made specifically for your order, orders cannot be cancelled once production has commenced. We recommend carefully checking your required dimensions and colour combination before placing your order.

Custom & Extra-Large Sheepskin Border Rugs

Need a different size or have a particular space in mind?

We can create custom-made sheepskin border rugs for European customers requiring specific dimensions, including rugs considerably larger than our standard range.

Creating an extra-large rug requires sourcing and carefully matching many individual New Zealand sheepskins, so additional time may sometimes be needed to find enough pelts with the right colour and wool characteristics.

Simply contact us with your required dimensions and preferred centre and border colours, and we'll be happy to provide a personalised quote.

How to Care for a Large Sheepskin Border Rug

With the right care, genuine sheepskin can retain its softness, loft and beautiful natural appearance for many years.

Regular Care: Brush the wool periodically with a sheepskin care brush to help lift and separate the fibres and reduce matting. When practical, gently shake the rug or carefully vacuum using a low-suction setting to remove loose dust and debris.

Spot Cleaning: Attend to spills promptly. Blot gently using cold or lukewarm water and a detergent specifically suitable for genuine sheepskin. Avoid vigorous rubbing and try not to unnecessarily soak the leather beneath the wool.

Professional Cleaning: Although genuine sheepskin can be washed, we don't recommend washing large multi-pelt border rugs at home. Rugs of this size become extremely heavy when wet and can be difficult to handle and dry evenly without affecting their shape or finish.

For a thorough clean, use a professional cleaner experienced with genuine sheepskin or leather-backed wool rugs.

What to Avoid: Do not use hot water, bleach, fabric softeners or conventional detergents containing enzymes. Avoid tumble drying and never dry wet sheepskin directly beside radiators, heaters or other strong heat sources.

Shipping to Europe & What to Expect When Your Rug Arrives

Our border rugs are shipped directly from New Zealand to customers throughout Europe.

Due to their size, the rugs are carefully packed and compressed for international delivery to help protect them while keeping the parcel as compact as practical during transit.

When you first unpack your rug, the wool may appear slightly flattened or compressed. This is completely normal.

Lay the rug flat, give it a gentle shake and brush through the wool with a sheepskin care brush. This will help separate and lift the fibres, while the wool will continue to relax and regain its natural loft after unpacking.

Please allow approximately 3–5 weeks for production before shipping. Once your rug has been completed and dispatched, tracking details will be emailed so you can follow its journey from New Zealand to Europe.
