I was planning on something closer to navy hues when I fell in love with this rug... and I'm really glad I let myself be swayed!  Going more turquoise meant adjusting the colors for a few other items in my small living room... but because it's small, this color anchoring the floor and picked in a couple of items around the edges of the space, provides an interesting and unexpected punch that gets a lot of compliments!

Pros: The fantastic, but not overwhelming turquoise color!  I still use a bit of navy to keep things understated.
Cons: It needs a thick pad to offset being "a little thin".
