Botanical Area Rugs

( Floral area rugs, Tropical area rugs, Whimsical area rugs and Leafy area rugs )

Olson Rug Shop defines botanical rugs as any area rug wherein the focus is on the wide array of fauna that exists on this wonderful blue ball we call Earth. Whether French countryside, English garden, bunches of blooms, or delicate floral designs add an alluring elegance to your room setting. This area rug style works well as an accent to similarly hued décor elements in geometric or striped patterns creating a harmonious impression without being overwhelming. Olson Rug Shop sub-categorizes Botanicals into; Floral area rugs, Tropical area rugs, Whimsical area rugs and Leafy area rugs.

Floral area rugs abound with bouquets, blooms or simply the beauty of nature at it’s random best. Whether your tastes run to azaleas, roses or chrysanthemums the perfect floral arrangement is available for you. See Oriental Weaver’s Tara or Nourison’s Julian for two prime examples.

Tropical area rugs have only recently gained in popularity due to the relaxed life style so successfully projected by Tommy Bahama and cronies. Tropical rug designs tend toward the dramatic in that they eschew the use of a border in order to use the whole field of the rug as their canvass. These brassy patterns are further emboldened with the bright colors of the tropics. These are not rugs for the feint of heart and require a delicate touch with the accompanying décor in order to balance the strength of presentation these rugs give. See Nourison’s Tropical.

Whimsical area rugs are defined by Sphinx Rugs as playful. These rugs artfully combine flora and fauna living harmoniously together. These rugs are predominantly a floral background depicting hummingbirds, butterflies, and ladybugs enjoying a sip of nectar with their afternoon tea. Bright bold color ways tend to dominate the palate.

Leafy decorative area rugs depict the canopy of a wide variety of forests from Northern Oak to Tropical Palms. Give yourself a break from the hectic pace of the world by lying down on these unique area rugs and closing your eyes and “feeling” the cool summer breeze stirs your living room. See Oriental weaver’s Elements.
