I placed my rug in the dining room and it is  the PERFECT accent piece. I use my dining room regularly so unfortunately 3-4 days after placing the rug down it’s gets dirty. What I mean by dirty is the black pieces of the rug blended in the cream area. Therefore I have to sweep it frequently to achieve a somewhat back to normal rug. I deal with it because I do like the details. Hopefully it will not be a problem as the rug gets a little older.
