I thought this rug would look a bit different than it does, but I think it works nicely at our front door. I expected a normal loomed area rug, but it’s more of a woven flat rug you would expect to use in a higher traffic less cozy area. Like I said, I chose to place it at my front door as a nice transition into the home, but I could see it working in a sunroom or laundry room, somewhere that you might not want a plush rug around. The colors are a lot more washed out and subdued than I was expecting too and it has almost like a darker tone to it. Although it was not what I was expecting, I do really like the rug.
