Bought this 7' 6" square rug to cover an area of my carpet that is getting old and discolored. I have the same design in a smaller rug out on the balcony. I didn't want the two patterns to "fight" with each other (this is a small apartment, so everything is close to everything else), and it worked out very well. The area rug is really more of an outdoor sort of rug, it isn't plush or anything, but the color is so vibrant I really like it inside too. I'm in the middle of replacing a few things....drapes are next (hence the exposed cords!)
