| Portland, Maine is home to rug designer Angela Adams, who is known for her high end collection of rugs that take inspiration from nature. Her three-dimensional sheared wool rugs look like topographical representations of moss-covered forest floors, underground soil and root systems, ocean floors, and sand dunes. With prices ranging from just over $500 to a whopping $35,000 for the largest and most intricate design (10 feet by 12 feet), most of these rugs are out of our price range. Even though we can’t afford to buy one, we think they are still worth admiring for their attention to detail and creativity: We love the bright, bold colors of Angela Adams‘ Ocean Floor Tapestry: |

Angela Adams doesn’t just find inspiration in the ocean and sea life– plants, trees, and forests are themes that are also present in her work. Consider this rug that depicts an abstract cross-section of the underground soil and root systems of plants: |

The Woodland rug is something that would instantly make you feel like you’re out in nature, with its woodland-inspired green and brown color scheme. It has a retro 1970′s vibe to it: |

One of the coolest and most intricate designs we came across is the Forest Floor rug, depicting a moss and plant covered forest floor. |
