We're using this area rug in our dining room.  Our walls are very pale blue with white trim and our light fixture is a vintage-looking off white, almost yellow one.  I was amazed at how well this rug fit in with those colors.  It really brought the whole room together.  We bought a matching runner for our foyer and since the dining room is just off the foyer, they tie in together nicely.  The rug is a nice thickness.  I had to buy a non-slip backing tape b/c even those the description says this is a non-slip backing, it doesn't work as one on hardwood floors.  Very slippery so the rugs move.  The tape was a easy, affordable fix, so voila...rugs are down and look great.
