Set the Mood Outdoors: Pick the Right Rug Colour for Your Camping Trip
Tents, chairs, and sleeping bags are probably the first things that come to mind when organizing your next camping trip. However, one underappreciated necessity that can improve the comfort and style of your trip is your camping rug.
We at Green Decore are aware of how colour affects mood, even in the natural world. Because of this, our environmentally friendly camping rugs are available in a variety of thoughtfully chosen hues that enhance your outdoor setting while also promoting your wellbeing via color psychology.
Let's examine how various rug colors can change the atmosphere of your camping trip and offer advice on selecting the ideal shade to go with your equipment and surroundings.
Why Colour Psychology Matters — Even at the Campsite
Colour psychology is the study of how colours influence human emotions and behaviour. It’s widely used in branding and home interiors, but it’s just as powerful when applied to your outdoor decor — especially your camping space.
The right rug colour can:
Create a calming or energising mood
Add warmth or cool tones to your setup
Help gear stand out or blend with nature
Enhance the aesthetic for social media photos
Whether you're relaxing by the lake or setting up for a family campout in the woods, your rug’s colour sets the tone for your trip.

How to Match Your Rug with the Rest of Your Gear
To create a seamless look that supports your mood, consider the following tips:
Tents & Chairs: Match or contrast with your rug colour
Lighting: Use warm-toned lights with yellow or ochre rugs
Cushions: Add accent colours that support the vibe (e.g., greens for calm, reds for energy)
Setting: Use green in forests, blue near water, neutrals in deserts or rocky terrain
Bonus: Flip the Rug to Change the Mood
Most Green Decore camping rugs are reversible, giving you two colour options in one.
Light side up for bright mornings
Dark side up for cosy evenings
This flexibility lets you switch the mood with the weather, time of day, or your current energy.
