Green and pink rugs are having a moment — and there’s Google Trends data to back it up, with search interest in the color combination up 100% year over year. And while Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo certainly helped make the pairing feel popular, its appeal goes beyond Wicked. Nature has been putting these colors together forever, from flowers and their leafy stems to a perfectly ripe watermelon. In a room, green brings a grounding element, while pink adds warmth and a little playfulness. Together, they offer a fresh way to move beyond cool gray and other neutrals into a space with more color and personality.

In a dorm room or off-campus apartment, adding a pink and green rug into your space is a fun and easy way to bring some fresh hues in. I poked around the internet and found the best green and pink rugs available to buy right now, available at stores like PB Teen, Ruggable, and Rugs Direct. (I was particularly impressed with the pink and green rug selection at Amazon.) Check out eight of my favorite picks below.

Lilly Pulitzer Bamboo Butterfly Washable Rug

$79

This washable rug is made in collaboration with Lilly Pulitzer, a brand that treats bright pink and green like a neutral. It’s available in two sizes, and if you really love the look, grab the matching quilt and pillow covers too.

$79 at PB Teen

Garvee Home Pink Green Beige Floral Washable Rug

$66

This pink and green floral rug from Amazon features a pattern of interlocking stems and blooms. It has rubber-like backing that helps to keep it in place, and it’s safe to toss in the washing machine. Choose from 12 sizes, including runners and round rugs.

$66 at Amazon

Bungalow Rose Geometric Area Rug With Non-Slip Backing

$187$89

The visual interest on this geometric rug is toward its edges—so make sure it’s not covered up by furniture! It’s available in seven sizes, and savings vary by size; as of this writing, the biggest discount is 63% off.

$89 at Wayfair

Kolmikko Green & Pink Rug

$599$449

This Ruggable x Marimekko rug pairs a bold, rich green shade with a light pink in one of the Finnish brand’s instantly recognizable patterns. It’s a Ruggable all-in-one, meaning it doesn’t require a separate rug pad.

$449 at Ruggable

Pink and Green Funky Zebra Print Area Rug

$65

This zebra-print rug is extra-bold in pink and green compared to the traditional black and white, and the main pattern is offset by a geometric border. This is another pick that’s nonslip, machine-washable, and available in multiple sizes.

$65 at Amazon

Ruggable Filifera Palm Pink Outdoor Rug

$229$172

If your off-campus apartment has an outdoor space, dress it up in pink and green with this palm leaf rug. It’s made with an ultra-durable weave that can stand up to the elements, as well as heavy foot traffic. It can be cleaned in the washing machine or with a hose.

$172 at Ruggable

The Peacock Garden Wool Area Rug

$315$268

This handknotted pink and green rug offers a more mature take on the trend by contrasting dusty rose and sage green in a sophisticated, symmetrical peacock pattern. The rug has fringes on the short ends, and get this—it comes in nearly 100 sizes!

$268 at Boutique Rugs

Jaipur Living Alina Alik Checkered Outdoor Area Rug

$315$227

This checkered rug has by far the boldest pink and green geometric pattern on this list. It’s extra colorful, dotted with small squares of orange and blue. And while this polypropylene rug is billed as an outdoor rug, keep in mind that it’s totally suitable for indoor use too.

$227 at Rugs Direct
