Each fall, the color experts at PANTONE publish a report highlighting the “it” hues for the following spring, setting the standard for fashion and home décor. This spring’s report contains a blend of bold, statement-making colors and more subdued shades.
Since re-designing every few months to match the latest color trends doesn’t jibe with our eco aesthetic, we’re all about choosing colors that lend themselves to mixing and matching season after season. And PANTONE’s Eucalyptus – an olive-tinged earthy-beige inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe – fits that criteria to a T.
If you’re in the market for an eco-friendly rug, we’ve rounded up several options that incorporate this versatile shade.
Faux Bois by Martha Stewart with FLOR (pictured above)
FLOR products are not only recyclable, but they are made with recyclable or renewable materials. This Faux Bois design (on the right) draws inspiration from a classic wood grain to create an elegant and eye-catching design.
This hand-tufted wool uses colored sheep in place of chemical dyes to create a simple, yet contemporary pattern. Its scattered wheat design would add a warm, welcoming accent in a bedroom or living room.
Cream, eucalyptus, and chocolate brown get a mod makeover as part of Surya’s eco rug collection. It’s hand-tufted with 100 percent New Zealand wool.
Another mod option, this geometic shag rug is part of Target’s eco-friendly collection. It’s also stain-resistant, fade-resistant, and soil-resistant.
Fern Paprika Scheme Rug from Pure Inspired Design
