Recently I spent an afternoon with a friend, and we got onto the topic of rugs. We were both in need of an area rug update, and coincidentally, we were both considering green rugs. This was big for two neutral-leaning aesthetes, but there is something about a swath of green that adds character to an otherwise colorless space. (Plus, green happens to be the color of the autumn.)
Here are our favorites.
Above: The Grand Rug from Nordic Knots is available in a deep olive green shade called Milano Green; $1,895 for the 8-by-10-foot size.
Above: The Nanimarquina Persian Colors Rug in Moss is made of 100-percent Afghan wool using the traditional Persian knot technique.
Above: The West Elm Ojai Handwoven Wool Rug in Vetiver Green is $899 for the 8-by-10-foot size.
Above: The Armadillo Cable Rug in Jade is woven in a soumak style in Italian and Argentinian wools with a cream-colored cotton fringe; $2,200 for the 5’7″ by 7’10” size.
