Black-Green Rugs

Black-green rugs in the room

Black-green is the deepest level of the green tones. In low light the colour looks almost black, in daylight it reveals its green core. A black-green rug gives a room weight and calm and goes especially well with brass, leather, marble and light walls. Because the colour is so deep, it also works as a calm counterweight to boldly patterned wallpaper or large pictures.

In the hallway

Black-green runners are particularly well suited to hallways. The dark colour forgives the marks of daily life and forms a clear path through the room on light tiles or wooden boards. Runners two to four metres long also structure long corridors. We show runners in other colours and lengths under Hallway Rugs.

In the living and dining room

In the living room, a black-green rug under a light sofa creates a striking frame. Under a round dining table, a round rug with a diameter of 200 cm looks elegant and holds the chairs together. Cushions in cognac or mustard yellow add a warm, homely contrast.

Which black-green rugs does Morgenland offer?

The range in black-green is small and very varied: it runs from a finely knotted Persian rug to a modern, plain Gabbeh from India. What both share is virgin wool and the deep, rich green. So the small range covers both styles, the classic Oriental rug as well as the modern rug.

Tabriz from Persia

The round, hand-knotted Tabriz rug in 50 Raj quality shows a classic medallion on a black-green ground. The Raj number describes the knot density, and 50 Raj stands for a fine, detailed design. Round shapes are rare among classic Persian rugs and make the piece a special eye-catcher. You will find more classic pieces among the Persian Rugs.

Gabbeh from India

The hand-woven Gabbeh rug from India takes a more modern approach. It shows black-green as a calm, finely shaded surface without a pattern and comes as a runner in several lengths. The plain surface suits modern and classic furniture alike and sits well next to patterned rugs in adjoining rooms.

Sizes and shapes

Black-green rugs are available here as runners 200 to 400 cm long and as a round rug with a diameter of 200 cm. This makes them ideal above all for hallways, dining areas and reading corners.

Which colours go with black-green?

• Brass and gold for a refined contrast.
• Cognac and leather as warm companions.
• Cream and ivory, which keep the room light.
• Mustard yellow for a lively accent.
• Marble, glass and black for a modern look.

Frequently asked questions about black-green rugs

How does black-green differ from dark green?

Black-green is one step darker than dark green and looks almost black under artificial light. Rich but clearly green tones appear among the Dark Green Rugs.

Does a black-green rug make the room look darker?

It creates a dark focal point that shows to best advantage in light rooms. In small, dark rooms a runner or a round rug is a better choice than a large size. A runner leaves light floor free at the sides, a round rug softens strict lines.

Where can I find rugs with black as the main colour?

Rugs in which black dominates are under Black Rugs.

We show every green from light to very dark under Green Rugs.
