Green Wool Rugs - Decorating with Rugs from Dark Green to Sage

Green wool rugs are having a moment…

Lately there’s been much chatter amongst our rug dealers surrounding green rugs, and we’ve taken notice. With several requests for green-hued rug additions and custom orders (see the stunning dark green Brilliance rug below), an evident lean towards green is underway.

Thus, we’ve handpicked ten green wool rugs in a variety of styles and hues that celebrate greener living (in more ways than one).

Forest Green Wool and Silk Rug — Brilliance, Aqua Marine from the Transcendence Wool & Silk Collection

Why green wool rugs?

The color green is synonymous with feelings of comfort and serenity, in turn, creating an environment conducive to stress relief. Further, with a diverse array of shades to choose from, the decor possibilities are infinite. Choosing a sage, emerald, mint or lime green rug each produce widely different results, hence the beauty of interior design. Aside from obvious associations the color has with nature, the organic texture of a green wool rug further reinforces this link. What’s more, wool is a highly durable natural fiber, perfect for high-traffic areas and comfort underfoot. Additionally, wool is biodegradable and decomposes at a significantly faster rate than plastics, making it a far more environmentally friendly option.

Lime green is a zesty color that’s full of confidence. While decorating with a lime green rug can be intimidating, this energizing color-shade has the ability to produce transformative results.

Forest Green Rug

To achieve an earthier aesthetic, forest green is a popular shade that works well with neutrals such as beige, white and grey. For example, a forest green rug can add contrast within brighter spaces, without overpowering the overall decor scheme. The Pala Rug is inspired by cobbled beach pebbles, vegetation patterns and other textured surfaces found in nature. Thus, its quite fitting that this forest green rug is made with vegetable-dyed wool, in turn, bringing a piece of the outdoors, indoors.
