This is a beautiful rug... I was actually looking for one that had a bit of apricot in it, and thos one does, but a bit less than what I was expecting...it's mostly in one corner of the rug, so I am going to try my apricot upholstered mid century chair there, and I hope that you will be able to see the echo of the colour in the rug under it... if not, then  I will use the rug in a different room, because it's too pretty to return! Still have to wait for my flooring to go in!
