A Persian rug in green takes advantage of two key style trends that are making headlines. First, Persian rugs are finding their way into many contemporary styles. Rugs no longer play a supporting role in design trends. They take center stage. Decorators use the rug as a tone setter of the entire room and as inspiration for your furniture and accessories. A green rug is the perfect way to give the room a fresh and soothing look.
The second major trend that is making headlines is using colors that are nature-inspired and that evoke the peacefulness of the organic world. Major paint manufacturers feature colors with names such as “Back to Nature,” “Meadow Green,” and “Creamy Mushroom.” Being in nature has a way of making us feel connected and less stressed, which is the feeling that trendsetters were trying to evoke with this year’s favorite color scheme.
There are few rooms where a green Persian or tribal rug would not be the perfect fit. It is a versatile color for any room, from bedrooms to bathrooms and kitchens. Greens in more saturated, jewel tones give the room an exotic Asian-inspired look. A floral Persian rug fits in well with a garden theme. Of course, the perfect complement is other nature-inspired colors such as cream, golden yellow, rust, and the colors of spices. Of course, plants and natural woods will complete the look.
The best part about decorating with greens is that you can mix and match them throughout the space. They do not have to be the same tone. This creates a layered effect that enhances the natural ambiance of the space. Bright green is almost a necessity in a Boho chic room to complement the abundant plant life and other tribal elements.
Green is calm and soothing, but it also has a side that is a bit more ultra-modern and dramatic, too. Paired with black and white and furniture that uses simple, clean lines, green can create a modern space without losing its earthy appeal. This is a unique twist on using the standards such as white and black, or black and red, to create an intensity in a room. If you layer in a few greys and a green carpet, a black and white room takes on a softer and more composed look that is a bit gentler than black and white alone.
If you automatically think of nature when you think of green, then you are right on track with today’s color trends. A green Persian rug is a perfect beginning to a room that recreates the calm serenity of being in nature. When it comes to decorating, green is always a safe bet this year and will be for many years to come.
