Best Rug Designs for Green Couches: Last Piece of Advice 

Green is a natural color that can be easily found anywhere. It is calming and relaxing to the eye. However, this color is not as easy to match with other shades. While it looks good when paired with muted natural rug tones such as beige or white, it can also look very tacky if combined incorrectly with a purple area rug for example. 

So here are some last tips to help you decorate with rugs around a green couch:

• Use polyester and polypropylene rugs if you have a busy home, pets, or plenty of plants in the living room. 
• Use natural jute or sisal rugs if you have a Moroccan or Bohemian theme going on in your living room. 
• Avoid using rugs with heavy patterns if your living room decor is quite busy. 
• Use silk rugs if you have a velvet dark green couch. 
• Go for a plain grey rug if you feel unsure about why to choose. A grey rug will always look good with a green couch of any shade. 
• Use a pink rug in a plain room otherwise, the decor will feel too feminine when matched with a green couch. 

And last but not least, be creative and enjoy the process of decorating your living room!
