If you are looking for a thick, knotty texture and a cushy underfoot feel, this is the rug. After several tries and several returns, I found the rug I wanted for my front entranceway. The colors in it range from tan to taupe to ivory. Although Wayfair calls it "brown," the manufacturer calls it "natural/ivory," which I think is more exact. It will go with an earthy decor or a contemporary decor.
