I've just updated the lounge, and replaced the old carpet with laminate. I had chose a "gold splat" wallpaper as a feature for the chimney breast wall, and wanted a rug that would "brighten" the laminate, but not overshadow the gold paper. This rug was an excellent choice! The mix of colours is great. Brown. beige, cream, with a slight gret hue. I am so pleased I opted for this rug.
