I love these rugs so much I bought 2 more for my guest room (in another color)!  They feel great on your feet getting in and out of bed rather than stepping straight onto the hardwood floors.  I would recommend rug pads for the smaller sizes as they will slip without them.  I find this pattern to be pretty unobtrusive.  You mostly just see the gray; the ivory lines don't really jump out at you the way they do on the photos.
