Walking on Water

Since we live in Florida, we are a bit beach craved… We adore the beach lifestyle and it shows in our color palette.

We love cool colors and have splashed a fair share of aqua & turquoise in our home. We are actually thinking of maybe adding some navy blue to the scene too! Awhile ago I showed you the “to do” list for our casa…. on the list was a new rug for our living room.

On the search to find a rug that is a bit more “us”, I came across some aqua rugs {aqua as in H20} that I thought I just HAD to show you!!

These are Pure Eye Candy… and some of the most gorgeous ocean inspired rugs…

Here are a few from Modern Nature Design and are custom area rugs…

1. Oceania 1

2. Water Dance

3. Flowing

4. Splash

5. Ripple

6. Lagoon 1

7. Aqua Light

I think I have mentioned before I get tons of ‘to the trade’ emails & discounts for being an interior designer. It is actually how I found out about Modern Nature Designs and all the fabulous sea life inspired rugs they offer.

I took my search a step further and decided to see what “budget” finds I could scout out…

8. Fishes by The Rug Company

9. Hand Tufted Blue Rug by Overstock

10. Patio Pool by Company C

11. Malibu Wool Rug by Overstock

12. Blue Waves by Overstock

13. Dasia Rug by InMod

14. Coastline Rug by InMod

Beautiful or what? Oceans, lakes & rivers can provide all kinds of inspiration for interior design and these rug designs really prove it!! Who says you can’t walk on water? {Although there is only one that really and truly walked on it}. What do you think? Have a favorite? DO TELL.

{P.S. We were not compensated for mentioning any of these rugs… we just loved the designs & thought you might too}. Are you a natural rug lover? We have a post all about natural rugs too!
