This rug is so pretty and is the perfect shade of a denim blue. It has a good combination of colors- blue, tan, and cream so it will work well in a casual or a more formal room. It also has a pattern that would lend itself to being slightly ‘art deco’. The rug is very soft and looks great in our casual living room. It has stood up to rough playtime of 2 big dogs and has enough pattern in the rug to not show every piece of dirt, lint, or dog fur. Great color to camouflage pet hair! :)
