I live in a very small apartment which came with ugly blue carpeting. My landlord will not replace it. I needed a colorful area rug to distract from it in colors that fit more with my wine colors. This rug is perfect! It's so beautiful that your eyes are drawn to it immediately when you enter. And it's unexpectedly soft, a real treat for bare feet. I am so pleased with this rug. And if you look closely at my photo you will see another unusual and beautiful item from Wayfair!
