I bought the small size for my kitchen and I love it! It's a lot thicker than I expected.  I would think a larger size would be great for a bedroom or living room. The white zigzags are taller than the blue/gray background and it looks great. It gives it some dimension. I've had this a couple months now and it doesn't show any stains or wear. We have had some spills on it already, since it is in the kitchen, and the stains came right up. This seems like a good quality rug and I'm happy with this purchase.
