I love this rug. It looks even better than in the photo. I was a little worried about the whiter parts, that they might be too easily stainable and that they didn’t look as good as just darker colors. But it is much more obvious in person that they are actually sand colored. So it looks live waves over sand. Also some of the white-ish area is also pale blue. It looks great. Also unlike another rug I got, it is not extremely obvious if rubbed the wrong way in certain spots. It’s perfect for my living room and goes perfectly with my two couches, one of which is navy and the other of which is teal.
