I had a lot of trepidation about purchasing such a colorful rug. However, I had too much brown-beige in my living room, and I thought this would be a cheerful rug that matches, based on the khaki background. I love it, and I am so glad I didn't go with a taupe or very neutral rug. In some of my photos, I show how the pillows--two of which I purchased from Wayfair--match the colors in the rug. You can coordinate this rug with many decor styles.
