Green is doing something interesting in interiors right now and it is not hard to understand why. It grounds a room in a way that most colours simply do not. Not in a heavy way, but in the way that makes everything else around it feel more settled. The problem is that green rugs vary enormously and choosing the wrong shade is an easy mistake to make in a showroom and a painful one to live with.

We have been looking specifically at the greens that actually work once they are on the floor, in real light, with real furniture around them. Sage that does not go grey. Olive that holds its warmth. Forest tones that anchor without overwhelming. We have also thought carefully about scale, pile, and texture because a rug earns its place by feeling right underfoot as much as looking right from the doorway.

These are the ones that pull a room together rather than just sitting in it.
