The White House’s new rug is green and eco-friendly, made from recycled materials

The White House has a new piece of art adorning its floors. This rug, made out of recycled materials, has found a home in President Barack Obama’s Oval Office at the White House in Washington, D.C. Made in Michigan in the United States itself, the rug was put into place when the Obama family went vacationing at Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts recently. Made from sustainable materials, including repurposed wool, this oval-shaped wheat, cream and blue carpet was sewn into piece by Scott Group Custom Carpets. Measuring 23-foot by 30-foot, the new rug at the white house looks strikingly beautiful. With 30 employees working on it, this detailed rug took around 570 hours to complete and includes quotations selected by President Obama from former presidents and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and 48 different colors. 100% natural wool was used for this one, brought all the way from New England and New Zealand.

Rest assured, the President is happily walking around on a rug that’s green and eco-friendly.
