We actually bought this rug for my toddler son's room.  It looks fantastic on his hardwood floor and coordinates well with his painted furniture.  It's subtle enough to blend in, but sophisticated enough that I could use it in another room in the future.  Love this rug!

By the way, this rug is very soft but not thick.  If you're looking to cushion a hard floor, you'd need to add a thick pad under this rug.
