Safavieh Berber Damian Shag Area Rug vs SAFAVIEH Layla Geometric Plush Shag Area Rug, Ivory/Beige, 8' x 10'

Both are Safavieh synthetic shag rugs, so build and easy care are close. The Berber Damian is the smaller 5'3" x 7'6" rug with a beige and blue abstract pattern and a 4.1 rating from 129 owners; the Layla is the larger 8' x 10" ivory and beige geometric rug with a 4.2 rating from 51 owners. Buy the Berber for a smaller room that needs color and pattern; buy the Layla for a big living room where a neutral, thick pile matters more than design. Neither is a premium rug, and both shed and flatten with traffic.

• Choose the Berber Damian if you are furnishing a small living room, bedroom or dining nook and want a patterned, easy-care shag that hides dirt and footprints.
• Choose the Layla if you need to cover a large living room or open floor plan and want a neutral ivory shag that blends with most furniture.
