This VIBRANT rug is just as pictured!! I purchased it on a fantastic sale, which sealed the deal!  It is in my denliving room in my apt. which is the hub. The white on the rug is WHITE, so I used a can of scotch guard on the entire rug to protect it from dirtgrime!  Once dried, rolled it up again, (no color bleed) sans the plastic bag (no fumes) because I’m painting the room WHITE wgloss. The apt. flat off-white paint on the walls clashed too much wthe rug, and made my walls look dirty‼️ Funny how my rug has caused me to redo the room it’s that impressive! P.S. The rug is flat, wa magenta string border. I hope I won’t need to purchase padding. I have wall-to-wall carpet, so I think I’m good, for now. I’ll post pics once the decorating, painting,  new white leather sectional comes in. I went ALL IN for this one‼️ BUY THE RUG whoknowswhatitwillIIIinspireinyyour domaine. our
