I love the color and texture of this rug. I still need to paint my walls to match it, but the texture and color is perfect for an entry way rug. It's dark enough to not show dirty, the texture helps clean off feet while coming in, and the different variations of blue help bring an 'airiness' to what is otherwise a dark rug. I just wish this came in a longer/wider version so I could make it a runner for my large entryway hallway. But overtime, I could buy multiple to fill the length of the area.
