Looks great in my Living room. It is soft and bright. My Living Room is large and in nuetrals so this helps to liven it up. The pad that was recommended seems a bit longer than the carpet but that can be easily trimmed. The one end is still curled after almost a month (two weeks of which I had a cast iron skillet with a brick lying on top of each corner). Again that will eventually be rectified just annoying right now. Beautiful colors and it goes with everything. I was surprised my color adverse husband liked it.
