I bought two of these for each side of my bed because my bedroom theme is that of Ships, pictures of maps, seas, pictures of seaside towns such as Providence, R I, sculptures of fish, parrots, wales, brass bed, Mission type dressers with antique brass handles, Aqua paint on the walls to appear as if you are traveling on a ship on the high seas and this rug simply is perfect.  It truly does look like waves of the sea.  Love them!  Looked and looked for something to blend in and instantly knew thought these would be perfect and they are.
