I rent a home so I am unable to make changes to the existing floors. The rooms are dark and the carpeting is industrial Berber. The ivory area rug, layered over the scratchy berber, adds a soft feel to our steps. That is a big deal. Even bigger to us is that it lightens and brightens our dark space. The colors are a beautiful combination of sand, ivory, and blue with just the right touch of russet. It fits well in our beach-style home. I ordered the 5’3” X 7’4” size for a small guest bedroom. It is the perfect size with the twin bed. The photos on this page display the colors very true. It lives up to the French countryside description.Pros: Great value. Beautiful soft colors. Durable.Cons: Slight oder when first unrolled that disappeared after a few weeks. Pros:  Great value. Beautiful soft colors.
