This rug is absolutely gorgeous, more beautiful than expected. The pattern is not loud, it is subtle and the colors are perfect - great neutral rug with just the hint of blue. I am including a before and after picture and please excuse some of the moving boxes in the photo. Wish I had taken a photo of the rug alone, laid flat so you could see the intricacies. We bought this as a way to add some depth/texture to our bedroom and it is the perfect size for a king size bed. The rug is a unique size that you don't find lots of places (8x11"6'). On the rug's description page on Wayfair, the close-up picture of the top left corner of the rug where you can also see a plant in the picture, this is the most true to the colors and beauty of the rug.
