I let my mom pick out this rug for her room because the one I had in there did not go with the room well. It's a hard wood floor so an area rug is needed in there. Needless to say we were not disappointed with this rug. The walls in that room are a light blue. The rug goes well with the blue. The white on the rug is more of an off white than a bright white. The floral details are beautiful. I will state that when you look at the back side or underneath if you will, you will see stripes of red. This is deceiving because there is no red in the pattern. We are unsure why it is like that but are happy the red doesn't show through on the top side.
