I could not be happier with this rug - the colors are absolutely beautiful.  Colorful enough to add some visual interest to the room, but also muted enough for the rug to still be pretty neutral. It looks perfect with my light wood floors - but I think it could work in a variety of settings. It's super low pile - basically flat weave - and very soft to walk on.  I have it in my guest room/playroom, and it's a great rug for the kids to sit and play on such a soft surface.  I also think the soft muted colors will be good for hiding stains and spills (none yet, but you know how it goes!).  I've uploaded two pics - one with the light on, and one with the light off, so you can see how the colors look in both scenarios.  I have another Loloi II rug in my master bedroom as well - the quality, colors and softness make these perfect rugs for my home. I'd highly recommend this rug to anyone looking to update their space!
