We haven't really decorated yet as we wanted to find a rug first and coordinate after! However I found the photos helpful in choosing to buy this rug so I could see the colours in different light. It is super soft with nice thickness. I love the vibrant but tasteful colours. Exactly how I pictured it to be. The only complaint is the smell/off-gasing! We aired it outside for 3 days and then rolled it up every night and removed it from our room. After 10 days or so, it STILL smells if you put your nose to it, but we don't smell it all the time anymore.
