I was looking for a rug in the kitchen and based off the psychology of color, "Red" stimulates appetite and is a grounding color. For the price, it works in my kitchen; although its placed on linoleum, you'll definitely want to get a "non-slip" mat to place underneath it. Overall, the pros, great value for a rug this price, but the weave of the rug is a bit thin. If you're looking for something that makes your place look new at a low price budget. This could be the rug for you.
