Green Washable Rugs

How a Green Washable Rug Can Highlight your Room Decor

A green washable rug can highlight your room’s decor by complimenting a color scheme you’ve already established or serve as the foundation of the room’s color palette and design style. Because green is such a popular color in a variety of design styles, you’ll find that no matter what design style you fall into, you can find a machine washable green rug that can fit in with what you envision for your home. 

Decorating with a Green Washable Rug

Decorating with a machine washable green rug can be inspirational for your home’s tone and style. Green is often a color that symbolizes life, rebirth, and hope, but you can also incorporate darker shades of green like olive and add in an air of class and tradition as well. The most important thing to think about when decorating with your green washable rug is that the style and tone of the rug should correlate to the other decor and style of your home. 

Choosing which Green Washable Rug is Right for You

When you’re shopping for a green washable rug, you’ll find so many options out there that you may begin to feel a little lost in the process. Fortunately, if you think through these key areas, you’ll find it much easier to choose the rug that’s right for you and be confident in your choice. 

Position: Deciding on which room you’re putting the rug in is an obvious first step, but the other part of that step is determining where exactly it goes and how it relates to the other furniture and fixtures. There are many ways to stylize your rug, but here are some general guidelines. 

• Living Rooms: The most common layouts for rugs in a living room include placing the rug completely beneath the main furniture, under the front two legs of it, or placing it in front of it, like centering it in the middle of a seating area. 
• Dining Room: A green washable rug should fit comfortably beneath the table, centered under it, and have enough room on the sides and ends for the chairs to sit completely on the rug. 
• Bedroom: Rectangular machine washable green rugs are often set completely under the bed or ? of the way under it. However, if your bed is off to the side of the room, you can always place a rug in the center and allow that to be a focal point. You can even choose a round green washable rug to sit elsewhere in the bedroom, such as in a little sitting nook or office area. 
• Kitchen: Decorating with a washable green rug in the kitchen makes sense in a lot of ways; you can position a 2x3 green rug or a washable green runner rug along pathways. Plus, since this can be a messy area, it really benefits from having a washable rug.
• Bathroom: The bathroom can be similar to the kitchen in that 2x3 washable rugs work well in front of sinks, showers, or baths, but the space can also benefit from a runner if you have a narrow path or double vanity.

Size: The size of the rug directly connects to how you plan on positioning it. For example, you would likely choose a larger rug if it’s completely under the living room seating vs if it’s sitting in front of the chairs. Scale is also a factor in choosing the size. When you think of scale, think of how the items balance with one another. Nothing should appear too big or too small next to each other. Fortunately, scale often comes naturally, since it’s easy to see when something is out of balance. 

Shape: Machine washable green rugs come in rectangular, round, runner, and other shapes. Rectangular may be the most common rug, and it is versatile enough to work in any style, but it’s not the only option. Depending on the shape of the room and the tone you want to strike, your space may call for a different shaped rug.

Patterns: Since green is a popular color in a few different design styles, you’ll find the patterns of green rugs are pretty wide-spread. You’ll find Oriental and Persian green washable rugs, but you’ll also find other styles, like striped, floral, Moroccan, and so on. 

Shades/Pairings: You’ve already narrowed down your search to a machine washable green rug, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with one particular shade of green. The shade and vibrance of the green can have a big impact on the rug’s style. Faded, muted greens often are more traditional and homey, while emerald green is classy and elegant. Plus, green is often paired with other colors, like brown, white, black, and any other color out there. The vibrancy of those hues along with the green is what determines the rug’s style and tone. Consider this when you’re shopping for your green washable rug and you’ll find the one that’s right for your home.
