The rug complements my new couch and chairs. I am switching from cottage to mid- century modern decor.  I will say that one end (the upper right per Wayfair photo) is more  mute than the photo depicts.  Once unfurled, I placed a few household objects (full container of laundry soap, etc.) on one end to smooth down the edge. I would recommend investing in special tape or pad to keep it from sliding. My son is 12 and has pushed it over while running to the kitchen.  I added a common bottle to reflect the color. The lighting is noon with an 83” wide window (no blinds blocking light).
