nuLOOM Moroccan Blythe Area Rug vs Safavieh Milan Shag Rug

Buy the Safavieh Milan Shag if you want maximum softness and a solid, low-pattern look; its 1.8-inch shag pile and 4.8 rating from 18,000 owners make it the more popular pick. Buy the nuLOOM Moroccan Blythe if you want a patterned, medium-pile rug that is easier to vacuum and spot clean, and that hides dirt and pet hair better. The nuLOOM is the more practical everyday rug; the Safavieh is the plusher, more luxurious one.

• Choose the nuLOOM Moroccan Blythe if you want a patterned, medium-pile rug that stands up to pets and high traffic and is simple to spot clean.
• Choose the Safavieh Milan Shag if you want a deep, ultra-soft shag with a solid color that anchors a living room or bedroom.
