We wanted to give our family room a "pop" of color since we have dark charcoal grey couch, ottoman, and oversized chair. This rug does just the trick! The color is rich and beautiful. There are variations of turquoise and blue and works perfectly with our "lake" theme in the family room. It is a fairly thin rug and I recommend using the pad with it. The thinness makes it easy to clean, too. We will definitely be making more purchases from Wayfair!
