I loved this Rylan design so much that I purchased a large area rug and three runners to go on my newly renovated floors.  I'm really pleased with this purchase, and I get compliments all the time. The blue is more of a slate blue, with ivory and beige accents. It compliments traditional as well as transitional decors. I do need to vacuum this regularly, as I have a dog and he loves the softness of the rugs, and the rugs are still "shedding". Really nice quality rug.
