This rug was purchased for a nursery to add bright colors. Unfortunately, the stripes were too much  contrast for the wooden floors. Also the striped pattern made the room look smaller. This rug would be perfect for a large playroom but keep in mind that the edges tend to flip upward which can be potentially hazardous. While trying it out I actually almost tripped on one of the corners. Had the rug matched the room, my plan was to tape the corners down to the floor. Overall it is a very cute rug, bright and cheerful and great addition to a room. I would recommend buying the rug first and then building the room decor around it rather than buying it last like I did.
