I love this rug! It really ties the room together (a la Lebowski). It has color and pattern without being over the top. The pile feels elegant and the colors are lovely. My living room has a black leather couch, a teal blue chair, and lots of mid-century elements. It works great for some extra color and style without clashing with my pre-existing stuff. Bonus - I have two Newfoundlands and they get black fur all over everything, but somehow this rug hides it well & vacuums up easily.
