This rug is beautiful and so well made. I ordered the blue/cream combination and it exceeded my expectations. The colors are subtle and muted, almost a slate grey/blue. The pile is lush and the rug doesn't slip on my carpet. I highly recommend this rugLove this rug! It is beautiful.The colors are quite as contrasting not the design quite as crisp as pictured. It is a very nice rug though. It stays in place without a pad and lays flat. It’s so soft on bare feet. We’ve been using this on our laundry room floor and after months of use, it shows almost no wear.
