Nourison Heirloom Blend 5x8 Rug vs Safavieh Terrace 808Y Area Rug

Buy the Nourison Heirloom Blend if you want a warm, traditional floral rug for a living room or bedroom and prefer a slightly larger footprint. Buy the Safavieh Terrace if you need a low-profile rug that can handle sun, spills and damp rooms. The Nourison is a plush indoor piece with fringe; the Safavieh is thinner and built for weather and UV exposure. Owners of both brands report the rugs hold up well, though the Safavieh's synthetic face is easier to wipe clean.

• Choose the Nourison Heirloom Blend if you want a vintage floral look in brick red for an indoor room and value a bit more floor coverage.
• Choose the Safavieh Terrace if the rug will sit in a sunroom, patio or high-traffic spot and needs stain, weather and UV resistance.
