This is absolutely the most favorite rug I've ever purchased. My walls are light french grey and I had some concerns there would be a clash of colors but there are grey hues in this rug and it worked perfectly. There are no problems vacuuming and it is as soft as can be underfoot. People comment on the rug all the time. You will very likely prefer a rug pad underneath or at least double sided carpet tape. I was tempted to buy another one for my bedroom but didn't want to get too 'matchy' with my decor. I never tire of looking at this rug. There is actually a soothing quality about the design and muted colors that result in a sense of peace and calm in the space. Sounds kind of weird but it's true and I've never experienced such a thing with another rug in my life. Might be love.
