Thank you for your suggestions everyone. I am going to layer it with another solid rug and use it in the living room. My living room neds a bit of colour and I thought this would be perfect. Breaks my heart to think that I may have to put it elsewhere.

Sheer De-liteBlinds are a versatile alternative to traditional Venetian and Roller Blinds. This revolutionary blind is crafted from lightweight sheer fabrics that combine opaque and transparent strips to form a double layered blind. The unique design of Sheer De-lite Blinds allows the layers to move between varying levels of light control and privacy so you can completely close them or open them to allow a view between the strips. Available in a variety of fashion colours, Sheer De-lite Blinds help soften daylight by reducing glare and light entering the room. These Blinds can also be raised or lowered to the desired height in the window just like Roller Blinds.

Such a nice selection of style. Very nice and reassuring to see what is avaialable.
