This rug is the perfect accent to my dining room. My dining set is a cream color and I have built in hutches that are white, as well as a bay window. Everything looked washed out, and the rug that I had there lost its appeal quickly. I wanted something plain for the most part because I have multi colored rugs in my living room. This rug is perfect because it adds the right amount of color while not contrasting with the living room rugs. roomrugs.
