A Buzzworthy Trend: Bee-Themed Carpets Are Taking Flight in Interior Design

By H.R. Rambe, Ape News

It appears the humble bee is having a moment – and not just in the garden! Here at Ape News, we’ve been tracking a fascinating development in interior design: bee-themed carpets. From high-end artistry to playful children’s rugs, the buzz around these designs is definitely justified.

The trend seems to be blossoming from two distinct approaches. For those seeking opulent elegance, Moooi released their “Vibrato Bee Carpet” in 2024. This isn't just a rug; it’s a statement. Inspired by the delicate structure of bee wings and the patterned shell of a turtle, the carpet features intricate hexagon patterns woven with golden lines. It's available in rectangular sizes, including a striking 200x300, and will set you back $3,575.00. Be warned, though, patience is a virtue – shipping takes approximately six weeks!

On the other end of the spectrum, Joy Carpets & Co. is bringing the bee motif to younger audiences with their “Bee Attitudes” rug. Part of the King’s Kid Essentials collection, this rug isn't just cute; it’s educational! The design pairs charming bee illustrations with positive character traits – cheerful, polite, friendly, and more – offering a delightful and enriching addition to any child’s room. They offer a variety of rectangle sizes from 3'10" x 5'4" all the way up to 10'9" x 13'2".

What's particularly impressive about Joy Carpets is their commitment to quality and sustainability. Their rugs are made with WearOn Nylon and a SoftFlex backing and carry the Carpet and Rug Institute’s Green Label Plus Certification, ensuring low VOC emissions. A good choice for sensitive little noses – and conscientious consumers.

It’s clear that designers are increasingly turning to nature for inspiration, and the bee – a symbol of hard work, community, and environmental importance – is proving to be a particularly popular muse. Whether you prefer the luxurious artistry of Moooi or the playful practicality of Joy Carpets, there's a bee-themed carpet to suit every taste and space.
