This gorgeous rug has moved around our house (purchased it a long while ago, still holding up strong). Originally was in our living room, but the size we ordered was a too small for that space... so it moved to our sitting area off of the kitchen where it looked fantastic, until I bought an ottoman that was rather large for the size of the rug, so then it went to our kitchen... where it looks amazing with our ivory colored cabinets and granite counter tops (colors in granite are beige, tan, gray, dark brown). The background of rug color is more of a grey/brown color, so it works well with grey colors as well as tan/beige colors. Wool rug does not shed like crazy like most wool rugs; and finally, we have a rug pad underneath so it does not slide around since there is no longer any furniture holding it in place.
