"I live in an old San Francisco apartment and absolutely love my unit but sometimes my carpet makes me think otherwise. The whole place is filled with dirty brown carpet that has become so matted throughout the years that I wouldn't dare walk on it without socks or slippers.
This year, I've been on a mission to clean up my space and the one thing I spent forever looking for was the perfect area rug. Once day while browsing on Amazon, I came across this ivory Safavieh California Shag ($67) and it caught my eye. I decided to give it a try because it was affordable and I knew I could return it if I had to.
The thick, fluffy, and luxe looking rug instantly brightened up my home. Within seconds, my living room felt like a whole new space. The light from my bay windows reflected perfectly onto the fuzzy surface to create a fresh new feel.
The upkeep has been much easier than I thought, too. I have a shoe-free home, which helps keep dirt at bay, and the rug's material is easy to vacuum. The real seller is the price tag, because at the end of the day, if it gets ruined, I know it didn't cost me a fortune." — KJ
