This is a gorgeous rug which is a very good likeness in reality to the online photo. I would say that it looks different from each side - so check it out from all angles in your space  before you decide which way round to set it (some views are lighter than others). It is a warm gray but part of the pattern has a slight gray/slate blue tint, so it would probably go with any gray based colour scheme. It looks and feels expensive and is really attractive. I’ve said this in another review of rugs from Wayfair but I’ve looked at other rugs at 3 or 4 times the price of this one that don’t look or feel anywhere near as good. It’s reasonably slim, low profile - so if you are looking for deep pile it’s probably not for you - but I should add that it still feels soft and luxurious underfoot and maybe a thick carpet pad would make a difference? I wanted low profile so it’s perfect for me. Service was great too - so I’m a very satisfied customer. I’ve already got more rugs in my cart!
