If you can imagine an impressionist/abstract painting in a delicious combination of subtle colours, interjected with stronger patches of teal, orange and gold it's exactly how this rug appears on the floor . The pictures onsite do not do it justice at all. The lightweight flatweave has a super modern appearance which eliminates the clumsy 'chunkiness' of certain other products. My rooms are teal, aqua and beige and the incorporation of the cream pile, plus the patches of stronger colours, contrast beautifully. It helps avoid a teal/aqua 'Overkill' which can happen when you focus too much on a few particular colours. We love it, great addition to any room and a valuable contrast ! Thank you Wayfair.
