This Is a 9x12 rug which if you are trying to fill a room with a large area this would be the rug to do it. I think If you have hard wood floor this rug will light up the room. The different greens, sage touches of tealish maybe turquoisish. The blend is beautiful. It Would give you something special. It's has more of a traditional look. I don't think you would need to put anything under this rug to hold it down. It looks hand woven around the seams, the texture is soft and smooth. The price for the rug is worth it. If you want something unique this rug will give you something classic.
