Springtime and Sustainability: Vegetable Dyes

An area rug, especially one that uses vegetable dyes to obtain those bright, beautiful colors, combines style with sustainability and longevity.

Springtime and sustainability go hand-in-hand because this season of renewal puts a heavy emphasis on nature and growth. For eco-conscious consumers, finding decor that celebrates nature, is biodegradable or recyclable, or is handcrafted from organic elements supports their individual commitment to protecting the environment. An area rug, especially one that uses vegetable dyes to obtain those bright, beautiful colors, combines style with sustainability and longevity for decor you can be proud to show off to friends and family.

Vegetable dyes are natural elements such as indigo leaves, flowers, berries, bark, and seeds used to achieve a wide range of hues. These colors are not only eco-friendly, but:

  • Durable and long-lasting for a rug that can stay within your family for generations
  • Fade-resistant to retain those bright, saturated colors
  • Full of character to add warmth and personality to your favorite spaces
  • Unique in the sense that veggie dyes have subtle color variations so no two rugs are completely identical
  • Handcrafted for a lower carbon footprint
  • Favored by interior designers and rug collectors

Wool area rugs also improve air quality, reduce echoes and ambient noise, cushion underfoot, and protect hardwood floors from accidental damage and general wear-and-tear.
