Verdant Tide Rug

I bought this to anchor my reading chair, but I barely get to enjoy it because my golden retriever has permanently claimed it as his new bed.

I am always so hesitant to buy big home decor pieces from internet photos because the colors are usually completely distorted or edited to look better than they are. I spent two weeks overthinking this purchase before finally hitting order. The relief I felt when unboxing it was massive. The tones are beautifully rich, the weight of the backing keeps it completely flat without any weird corner curling, and it looks exactly like the high-end boutique piece I hoped for.

There is nothing worse than swinging your feet out of bed half-awake and hitting ice-cold hardwood floors. Putting this rug in my bedroom completely changed my mornings.

When I first showed my husband the design online, he rolled his eyes and thought the wavy pattern was going to look way too loud and ridiculous in our living room. He wanted a plain, boring grey square. Well, it arrived yesterday, and he was the first one to lay down on it to test how thick it was. He completely walked back his complaints.
