I have a huge living room with really ugly floor tiles. It's a rental so my option was to buy several of these carpets to cover things up. Visually it looks stunning. The smaller sizes are more pleasant to walk on. The patterns are thicker and provide more cushion. The only negative is that if you have pets or small children, loose lint, hairs, glitter tends to be a bit harder to vacuum out of the  receded ares of the design. I need to use the turbo setting on my Dyson.
