I got this as a finishing touch to a cozy nook. I have a corner in my bedroom that has a tan lounge cushy chair with a side table and a faux furry blanket that I wanted to make a little more special and this faux fur rug was just the thing to make my cozy nook special. I can get comfy with my hot chocolate and a book or watch tv in style. Not that that matters for some but it makes me feel special. And the gold splotches add a more refined and Chic accent that matches my gold framed lamp and small picture frames. The carpet ties everything together. And knowing that it is a little more thin than most rugs I didn’t want it in a high traffic area to save it from wear and tear.
