This rug has a nice trendy pattern and the color matches our interior gray paint,  but as other reviews  have pointed out,  the white part is raised which I'm not a fan of and it does shed  quite a bit.  With that said, I have yet to put a pad underneath to see if it makes it feel nicer to walk on eliminating my feelings on the raised white design.  This photo is of the additional runner we purchased that matches the living room rug.
