I bought a runner for my kitchen in my chalet. It works perfectly with it, not too bright colour, but not bland either. It will not overpower the room, but will not make it look boring. From a distance it looks like an expensive Turkish carpet, because of very lovely, sophisticated, cheerful pattern. On a closer look you can see it is machine made and not very expensive. Nevertheless from several carpets I bought this is one is the best looking.
I am very satisfied with my purchase!
