These Chevron area rugs are ideal for our newly finished basement.  We wanted a bit of pattern but not one that dominated the whole room.  We used the gray shade in the work station and the tan shade in the living area and bedroom.  As they do slip a bit on the very polished concrete flooring, we will be purchasing pads for all three. They definitely add warmth and charm to the room's ambiance.  Would for certain order again if had to do over.
