The design of this rug is rich and will add texture and flare to any space.  I have placed this rug in a monotone space so texture is key.  This rug is true to the description and the pattern is not uniform throughout.  What may not apparent from the picture is the rug pile.  Excuse the laymen terminology, the best way to describe the pile pattern is a laser cutout technique.  The cutouts are shorter pile creating a raised affect from the mat.  It is very different and appreciated in my space.
