This design is really stunning and the blue and sand colors are distinctive while still being neutral enough to go with a lot of decor. A soothing pattern. It’s a really soft, short pile, which feels a little synthetic, but honestly gives me the impression that it would be easy to clean. So far, no shedding either. I’m really pleased that it’s a large enough rug to fill an entire room on its own (5ft 3in x 7ft 6in). It gives the impression of a really expensive heirloom rug that will last ages.
