Used the rug in a navy blue painted living room. I have been dying to use this rug in one of my projects. Client loves it too. It does shed a little, don’t sit on it while wearing black. This blue works well with either silver or gold metals. I am using silver for this client. The rug is very thick and plush, I layed the rug over a cream colored carpeted floor. Client wanted to hide the carpet and instead of removing it, I helped her save money with this beauty. I used a 6x9 Under a 97” sofa.
