This is a beautiful, soft rug! The red is just right- not fuschia really, but more like a cherry red with a fuschia undertone. Definitely red though. It's very cheerful and happy, but not too flowery. It's just right! Do yourself a favor and get one! I put a rug pad under it to protect my floor and make it a bit thicker. It's not thick but also not super thin and cheap feeling- and it's very soft.
