We are using this for a runner in our entryhall on tile. Although a little stiff and tending to curl up after being shipped rolled up, a few pieces of double-sided carpet tape solved that minor problem to force it to lay flat. Its Art Deco look ties in well with our Art Deco leaded glass window hangings and the Art Deco chandelier in the entry way, not to mention the Art Deco wall mirror we recently got from Wayfair, as well as the Erté serigraphs and bronzes we use to decorate. The Rust color of the area rug matches the raw bronze of the unpainted areas of the Erté bronze statues.
