This rug provides a neutral background for any style. I chose it because my table and chairs are all similar in color. Rather than contrast that, I decided to compliment it with this rug that has other similar tones of cream, pale blue, and light browns that I can pick up and highlight with deeper shades in curtains, wall hangings, and other decor. I think the rug allows the monochromatic theme to be the centerpiece of the room. I got a thicker rug pad as well, which makes the rug feel more substantial and extremely soft under foot and chair! The rug is lovely for the right space. It is extremely neutral and the colors are so subtle that they almost blend together. The pattern in the rug is pretty and looks classic. I would recommend this rug for any place you want something that really blends in.
