This is a really great rug for a really great price! It is definitely light grey and ivory. It goes very well with my decor. It could fit in well with modern decor all the way to farmhouse. Please be aware that it sheds! We have a dog that sheds a lot of white fur, so we thought the white hairs all over were from a particularly bad shedding season, but then it clicked that it was rug shedding! Weve only had the rug for about 2 months, and we still vacuum up a full canister of rug fibers. The rug doesnt look any worse for wear. I assume it will slow down eventually!
