This is an indoor-outdoor rug but it is perfect in our foyer, where we wanted to stay neutral in color & pattern. We did place a scrap piece of carpet pad under it to keep it from slipping on our wood floor. We were victims of the great flood in Louisiana in 2016 & just discovered Wayfair. I haven't just liked each piece we ordered, I have LOVED every single one! (Lamps, night stands, writing desk, ottoman) And we aren't even finished yet!
