Eco-Friendly Flokati Area Rugs: Spruce Up Your Home for Fall (Part 1)

…And we’re back! If you’re like many of us here at GoShopUs.com, you traded in long days at the office for time outdoors, reveling in the warm weather. You spent fewer hours in front of the computer, preferring to enjoy your summer with barbeques, swimming, watching baseball and relaxing on the beach.

Since we were very busy this summer stocking up on flokati rug merchandise and preparing for our fall and winter sales and holiday promotions, we decided to take a hiatus from writing our Flokati Area Rug Blog – but now we’ve returned to discuss an easy way to transition your home decorating into fall. To make up for our long absence, we will be bringing you a three-part series that features decorating with happy bold; dramatic earth tone; and neutral color schemes. Today, in part 1, bold hues for fall.

As we noted above, the summer months tend to keep people outside and away from home. However, when the cooler seasons approach, it’s time to swap the patio wicker furniture and bamboo rugs for the warmth of a flokati wool area rug.

The neutral color palettes that are so popular in today’s homes provide a lovely backdrop for seasonal elements. Consider adding a pop of bold color to make your room sizzle. A great option to liven up your room, without breaking the bank, is to incorporate a gorgeous orange flokati wool rug (seen above). Generously sized at 5'X7', this flokati 2000 gram area rug is a chic way to warm up wooden or tile floors. The wool rug's plush texture is luxuriously soft under bare feet and the stylish orange color is ideal for the harvest season.

Another inexpensive and colorful way to accessorize – and to give your room a cozier feeling – is to toss a few bold-colored two-sided flokati pillows around the room, on sofas, chairs or your bed.

Aside from being fashionably functional additions to any space, flokati rugs and flokati throw pillows are crafted from 100% New Zealand wool, a renewable, sustainable and natural fiber fabric. Flokatis are an easy way to make a green decorating choice without sacrificing comfort or style. Be sure to stay tuned for Part 2 of this series for ideas using neutral color schemes.
