This is a beautiful rug, we had it in our living room, but with the our dog and toddler every moment felt like final destination. We moved it into our bedroom and are so happy with it. It feels very luxurious and expensive, but I would keep it in a “shoes off” area of your house. 

1 year update: I wouldn’t buy this one again - it still feels nice, but even in the bedroom it catches dog hair and bits of debris. It shows everything. It still looks great immediately after vacuuming, but only stays that way for 24 hrs.  If you don’t have pets or kids and lots of discipline this could be for you, just not for us.
