Nature rugs: what are they like? How to combine them in an interior design project?

The protagonists of our article today are nature rugs, an extremely versatile resource for any interior designer, and one that therefore solves many problems for interior designers.

Why are we so sure of this statement? The reason is simple: in addition to being environmentally friendly and consistent with modern dictates of sustainability, natural fibre products help transform even the most chaotic space in the home into an oasis of pure tranquillity. This is thanks to their organic fibres, which are often woven to form fleeces in soothing colours.

What are the characteristics that have made nature rugs so successful?

The most obvious distinguishing feature of nature rugs is the fact that they are made from purely vegetable fibres, dyed in an equally natural way.

This is not the end of the story. Looking at nature rugs, it is evident that designers often take inspiration for their creations from motifs and shapes common in nature. These range from leaves and flowers to branches or even natural landscapes such as mountains, seaside or hillside locations.

Transforming natural elements into decorative motifs not only gives the carpet a unique and elegant touch, but also gives the space in which it is placed a feeling of calm and tranquillity that would otherwise be impossible to achieve with other types of design.

Colours are also absolutely key when it comes to nature rugs. In many cases, palettes reminiscent of earthy and green shades are used, with a few colour accents here and there. The range of tones used for this kind of carpet ranges from emerald green to earthy brown, without neglecting the beige of sand, the grey of stone, the blue of the sky and sea and the various colour shades of flowers. In many other cases, neutral hues are favoured, which after all are the original hues of the fibres from which the artefact was made.

Nature rugs have the undeniable ability to make any space in which they are placed pleasant. This quality can be appreciated for example in urban or modern environments, which can strongly benefit from the presence of these carpets, as they are able to re-establish a connection with the natural environment.

In fact, nature rugs are generally made from eco-friendly, plant-based materials such as jute, bamboo or cotton. Consequently, the connection to the earth is strong and evident, and is perhaps the main reason why these textiles are chosen by interior designers and their clients.

How can nature rugs be used in a home furnishing project?

When it comes to furnishing your home with one or more nature rugs, it is important to consider both the type of space in which you want to place the individual product, as well as the desired end effect.

For the entrance, for example, a natural product in shades of green may be the perfect choice. Green is indeed a colour that evokes nature and freshness, and placing a natural carpet in this colour in the reception area can immediately give a sense of airiness to the space. A textile artefact of this type, whether geometric or modern in shape, will welcome visitors in a discreet and elegant way and make those who cross the threshold feel immediately at ease.

In the living area, it is a good idea to opt for nature rugs with floral motifs. Decorative motifs of this type not only add a touch of colour and liveliness to the room, but also give the space a feeling of freshness and lightness.

In the bedroom, on the other hand, one could focus on carpets with an earthy palette. Colours of this kind can help warm up the atmosphere of the room, creating a cosy and relaxing ambience. Earth tones such as brown, beige and terracotta can help create a feeling of calm and comfort, which is perfect for promoting a restful sleep. Moreover, pieces of this make a perfect match for natural wood furniture as well as Nordic furniture.

3 tips for choosing the right nature rugs

When choosing the perfect natural carpet for your home, it is very important to find the right shape of the piece. From this point of view, you have to make sure that the specific textile is consistent with the size and width of the room.

Furthermore, it is essential to ensure that the carpet is in harmony with the furniture in the space, both in terms of colour and style. For example, if the room has modern, minimalist furnishings, it is preferable to choose a natural carpet that has a simple, clean design.

Finally, it should always be remembered that if you have special furnishing needs, you can resort to customisation and adapt the materials, dimensions, shapes, colours and design of the particular artefact to the space to be furnished.

Customising nature rugsalways creates unique pieces that are designed specifically for the space they are intended for. Products that are therefore able to accurately reflect the desires and needs of their purchasers.
