Got this rug to anchor our seating area in our basement. We have mostly a blue and black color scheme, but, our near by bar is decked out in black and gold for our collegiate team. This rug pulls it all together. Our home is traditional, but, this area is particularly casual with toys, bar, tv, video gaming. I didn't want anything too serious or expensive since it's the kids main play area. It will really hold up to their treatment, I think.
