The pictures make the rug look white/lighter cream when it is actually much closer to a beige. If your space has a lot of white and you are going for light and modern- this is not it as the colour is too beigey-yellow when against other brighter or bluer whites. We were able to salvage the situation by using it in our bedroom- where it did a great job warming up the space. Just beware the colour actually works for you. We still like it.
