This rug is EXACTLY what I wanted for my family room area.  I have an open floor plan kitchen / dining / family room and I needed something to define the  TV area.  This rug has lovely hues of gray, taupe and cream, with a touch of blue-green accent color throughout.  It is muted enough to blend in nicely with our charcoal sofa and our pale green walls but has enough pop to add interest and beauty to the space.  I did purchase a rug pad to put under it, but haven't gotten to it yet.  This rug is fairly thin but with the rug pad it will be very comfortable in comparison with the wood-looking laminate we've been living with.   I am very happy with this purchase; I feel it is a perfect rug for the space and has enough neutral tones to fit in most rooms.  You can't see much of the blue-green color in my picture, but trust me, it's there.
