Four awe-inspiring nature rugs

Step into nature

With snow starting to cover most of the country, the sight of rolling green farmland or a sandy coastal beach is a welcome respite. If a winter getaway isn't in the cards for you, take a tour through these imaginative rugs. More artwork than practical everyday rugs, these creative pieces will leave you breathless.

A stroll in the park

This stunning area rug looks more like a painting you'd like to step into. Artist Jennifer Hansen and Company C collaborated to create this hand-tufted design that makes for a walkable art piece, bringing blue skies into your home all year round.

From $605, RugStudio.com.

A walk on the beach

Argentinian designer Alexandra Kehayoglou wows art and rug enthusiasts alike with her ability to create miniature replicas of natural landscapes, like this calming laguna rug. Her designs are one-of-a-kind show-stoppers that extend to chairs, tapestries and more. Check out this large-scale piece of a deer in the meadows — incredible.

A woodland retreat

Portland native Angela Adams uses 100-percent New Zealand wool to handcraft this plush nature rug that resembles a forest trail of moss-covered rocks and tiny plant worlds. The detailing and earthy colours add a touch of serenity to any room.

From $2,200, AngelaAdams.com.

Designer Florian Pucher is well-known for his Landcarpet series of handcrafted wool rugs, depicting rural areas and farmland in regions across the world. But his pièce de résistance is this award-winning rug of Hong Kong's Victoria harbour, as would be seen from an airplane window flying above. Florian Pucher and Sophia Liu design
