I bought this rug at the suggestion of my sister, to bring some color into my living room (which is chocolate brown). I was afraid the colors would be too bold and over powering - I was wrong! The rug brings life into the room and the colors are not as bright "loud" as I thought they were going to be from the photos. The color combo is great and brightens up my brown room with the many choices of colors for accent pillows, curtains and wall decor! I love this rug!
