Looks more formal in person. I think the online picture makes the rug look completely flat in texture and lighter in color. The rug in person is a darker gray and has raised design to it which is beautiful. It’s  textures are gorgeous and the gray color tends to have some blue and tan in it. It wasn’t as casual as I thought but I absolutely love this rug!!! It has a wow factor to it for sure. I love this rug.
