we just got the Nicole Miller New York Patio Country Danica Transitional Geometric Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug and it works and looks great in the living room, we have been doing some spring cleaning and decided to paint the living room to a off white which matches the grey in the rug, pulling up the carpet to find wood floors just icing on the cake, as we laid the carpet in the center of the room, now it not only brightens up a dull room but now can now enjoy the room and sit in there instead of walking by looking at dark shades.
