I much prefer this rug as opposed to the first one, I am liking the blue and pattern of the rug. I think the background color of the rug could be a deeper shade, as again it is too similar to your floor color.

I actually like the way the room looks with the first rug (although it needs to be larger). It's more sophisticated. The new rug looks a little too cutsie for my taste.

In comparing the two the first does seem more sophisticated and I love its texture. Is that the only color it comes in? I thought you needed a pattern but now the first rug looks so serene and elegant.

Thanks Ingrid as a matter of fact here it is. It's just a small sample. For some reason the chairs are coming out greyish but are really blue with a beige background.
