These are a perfect fit for a rustic-country, shabby-chic house. It's a great blend of grey and tan. Exactly the color we were looking for. Since it's a natural fiber rug, it does have a "natural" smell that comes with it. I don't know if it's gone away or if we are just used to it now, either way, we love these rugs. Warning: they do have small pieces of wood embedded in them- yes, they hurt.
