My 3-year old daughter LOVES color and anything pink, purple and loud! I on the other hand, prefer muted styles. Clean, crisp soft colors are my normal decor choices. However, I wanted her new room to represent her bold spirit so we compromised on this. I could not love this rug more! It's gorgeous. The colors are vivid but I added it to her pale pink walls, white furniture, white bedding and white curtains. It’s lovely! We are both so happy with it. The carpet itself is soft and has a good amount of loft. I was a bit nervous with the description since it said Blue/Red but there is very little red in the rug. The outer binding is actually a beautiful dark pink and the colors in the rug are deep blues, pinks, aqua and turquoise with a little hint of yellow, orange and red. This is an amazing rug for a nursery, a girl’s room or even an office. So thrilled I took the chance with this rug.
