I was looking for an area rug that wasn't that expensive over the top, and very easy on the eyes...my master bedroom walls are eggplant purple w a light butterscotch yellow and I have a silver rug under my bed...I bought two area rugs for my dressing room - to keep it light, beautiful and fun cause I hate to step on the cold floor while I am getting dress...I LOVE THEM...just what I was looking for! (And I got them on sale!!!!!)
