I bought three of these area rugs in different sizes for my new home which has wood flooring throughout. They look very nice because they have very muted and neutral colors in them. It makes it easier to match drapes and furniture to them for a very cohesive look. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that they are wool and, therefore, they will shed some for a little while. Vacuum them often for about the first year of use and then the shedding stops.
