The color palette, a harmonious blend of earthy greens, soft browns, beige and gentle creams, evokes the calm, understated beauty of Scandinavian landscapes. Persson's choice of colors is reminiscent of mossy forests, stone paths, and sunlit meadows, imbuing the Swedish flatweave rug with a tranquil, organic feel. These nature-inspired earth-tones allow the intricate design to take center stage without overwhelming the senses, making it suitable for a variety of interior styles, from minimalist to rustic.
