This is a beautiful rug: very soft on the feet, detailed workmanship in the design, and a pleasing color palette.BUT..the colors are very different than in the photo shown above. In the photo, the rug looks like it is overall gold in tone, with warm colors throughout, but it actually consists of a very cool color palette--primarily blue-gray background, cream (a cool cream, not a gold cream) borders, with sage and a bit of burgundy and dark turquoise details. I knew from the other reviews that the colors weren't as shown, so I took a chance and purchased it for my (tiny) living room. I happen to love the colors! I do recommend buying this rug only if you are starting a room from scratch and can build around it. It is too difficult to match existing colors to it without knowing beforehand exactly what they are. That being said, I think dark brown furniture would go nicely with this rug, as well as cool creams and cement. Anything blue, green or gold would be too chancy to match. I wish we could post pictures as part of the review....
