Safavieh Terrace 808Y Area Rug vs Nourison Quaint Harmony Area Rug

Buy the Safavieh Terrace if the rug may see sun, damp or heavy traffic; its weather, stain and UV-resistant build and flat 0.25-inch pile suit patios, sunrooms and busy indoor rooms. Buy the Nourison Quaint Harmony if you want a soft, decorative bedroom or living room rug and prefer a floral garden palette with a silk-like finish and fringe. The Safavieh is the tougher, more versatile piece; the Nourison is the softer, more decorative one, and owners of low-pile polyester rugs like it report easy cleaning but some shedding and fringe wear over time.

• Choose the Safavieh Terrace if you need a durable, stain-resistant rug that can handle sun, spills or a patio-adjacent room.
• Choose the Nourison Quaint Harmony if you want a soft, low-profile floral rug with a silk-like sheen for a bedroom or living room.
