Green is the second favorite color of most people, with blue coming in first.  Because green is the color of nature and is so prevalent outdoors, it signifies fertility, freshness and coolness, and it has soothing properties when used indoors.

One of the most basic rules in interior design is to decorate from the bottom up.  Make your flooring choice one of your first decisions.  What mood do you want in your home or room?  Do you live a solitary life or are a lot of people in your home?  Will your room be used by children?  Is an easy clean-up important to you?  Do you spend a lot of time indoors?  Will you want wall to wall carpeting on your floors, wood, or tile?

A popular decorating trend is to choose a single color and spread that color throughout your home in all of its many shades and palettes.  Green hues cover the whole gamut from lime green to hunter green and everything in between.  Green shades often have hints of yellows and blues, making green a compatible and complimentary color to almost any other you may decide to use in your decorating.

Area rugs can be a unifying element in a room.  The size of the area rug is important; it should be big enough so that a furniture grouping can be arranged for conversational ease and each piece of furniture should be positioned to touch the rug.  Area rugs are made in a broad array of easy to clean materials; many of them are man-made, such as nylon and olefin.

Green area rugs are excellent elements to add to your home.  You will be pleased at how well houseplants and flowers show themselves off in rooms with green flooring.
