I bought one of the smaller sizes to lay over the existing carpet beside the bed in my spare room.  I was looking for something that picked up more of the orange and russet colours to brighten up an otherwise drab room, without it being overpowering.  It is a thin rug, which I wanted because it was going to lay on the wall-to-wall carpet.  It has the distressed/faded look that gives me just enough  character, with more subtle pops of colour.
