Very Happy w/Purchase! (Beige/Slate)
I purchased the SLATE/BEIGE (just under 8x10 size) Loloi rug. This review is dedicated to anyone plagued by the most terrible case of analysis paralysis over picking a rug - like myself. I will try to be annoyingly descriptive in my thought process in case there’s another me out there it helps. If I could land on a rug, there is all the hope for you. I originally ordered a different Loloi rug and returned before landing on this one - which is a noticeable tier up in quality. I had this and about 3 other rugs in my cart for a couple weeks, with this one being lower on my list, initially, until I looked at the review photos on a different site (that starts with a W), Amazon was the better deal but the reviewer’s photos were better on the other site and I started seeing how this rug could possibly work best in my space. Rugs look so different in photos and lighting and angles - this rug is lovely, and good quality. It’s a great blend of different variations of grays, taupes, oats, whites and beiges without looking muddy and drab, still light and airy but not so light in design and color that it’s like ‘why did we even bother with a rug w/design on it?’ The design is clearly seen (not over distressed) but is also not over-powering and still soft. This was the perfect rug to add a loveliness but also not be so traditional that it wouldn’t look right with my industrial pieces. The tiles on my fireplace are marbled gray so I needed something to blend in gray and taupe, with my camel leather couches but also not make my pillows look yellow in the process, and not look too sterile (against my transitional/blended styles going on - idk). I needed the right rug to have a warmth about it but not be too warm that it looked yellow… oh and it needed to work with my oatmeal colored drapes. And dress up the place but not be too dressy, so things feel cozy. I also have a kind of a goofy laid out living room. This rug worked perfectly with all my neediness, and is very versatile. I’m very happy with it. It’s going to pull less gray in my images because of my wood floors and camel couches (and you can’t see my gray tiles in these pics) but if you have gray couches, it’ll pull more gray, while still adding a little warmth and soft contrast. The grays are versatile with charcoal and light gray detailing, so it’ll compliment different shades of gray well :) To flatten out edges: I set books all along the curled up edge for about a day and it flattened out well. I also have a thin, non slip rug gripper pad underneath it, and -obviously- couches along two edges. This rug is soft and is the perfect thin/thickness - not a glorified sheet labeled as a rug (which I was also nervously trying to avoid). It stays put on my engineered hardwood floors (so if that’s you too - it’s a good fit) Two weeks later, I couldn’t be happier. *** I’m sharing two pics to show how at one angle it’s a little more warm looking and at another it’s more light and gray. Good luck!!
