Why Choose Lime Green Rugs?
In common with the other acid bright shades, lime green can be quite a difficult color to work with when it comes to interior design and particularly when it comes to flooring. So, it is all the more surprising that lime green rugs have become so popular in recent years. They do have some advantages however, and you will find these below along with some ideas on how can you work with these rugs in your home.
1. Lime Green is a Contemporary Color
You will not find lime green used much, if at all, in historical houses or even those of your grandparents (unless they are very up to the minute!) Lime green shouts “contemporary” and marks your room out as being fresh and modern.
2. It Goes well with other Contemporary Shades
It is probably no coincidence that lime green goes well with the other colors which are very popular these days – royal purple and hot pink (although generally not together!) If you had a rug in either of those colors mixed with lime green it would look very up to the minute.
3. It is Fresh and Bright
Lime green is a beautiful fresh color which gives a clean, bright feeling to a room especially paired with pure or slightly off white. If you have white travertine or marble flooring, for example, your green rug will look fantastic. Also, in a white bathroom it adds exactly the right note of brightness to a neutral room.
To use lime green rugs, in your home, start with a basic neutral white backdrop and pick another shade to go with the green for accessories. If you want a tropical look, hot pink and turquoise are great colors to choose. You could add a mixture of bright pink, turquoise and lime cushions and a few other items to pull your look together. If you want a softer look, choose a mid shade of blue to go with your green rug and look for accessories in a mixture of blue and green.
