I am a tough sell and extremely pleased with my purchase. i hoped that the beige would be deeper gold as it appears in the in the photo, The beige is not gold but still blends so well with the colors in the rugs that it is just fine with the paint and other items in the area where the rugs now live in my space. The 2 X 3 rug is placed in front of an entrance doorway and the same beautiful runner rug (2' X 3" 8') is placed inside the entry foyer. The rugs are a striking complement to beautiful, framed wall art with the same colors as those in the rug. I am a tough sell but extremely pleased with my purchase.
