What kind of carpeting for a pink room for someone with pets?

Hi. I'm going to be redoing my room sometime in the future, and I was thinking of doing it a light pink with carpeting


Instead of getting one solid carpet installed, I would buy a large area rug.

There are many benefits to area rugs, but the best part is really the convenience of changing them. If you want a girly rug now, get a rug like this Pastel Pink Flokati area rug . If you decide you aren't fond of pink on your walls any longer, get a rug that looks like this Blue Allure area rug .  It would go well with a minty blue. 

Area rugs are much easier to clean than regular carpet, and if they get stains (from your dogs or cats) just get a carpet cleaner or take them outside to clean them.

Decorating living room with brown leather sofa?

I have a brown leather sofa and love seat. Originally I accented with taupe, but that got boring very quickly. Instead, I chose brown, red, and orange as my colors. These are flat colors, not bright, and they work very well together.

On the leather couch, add some red and orange accent pillows. You can add a brown pillow on there too, and if you are fussy about how your pillows are positioned, you can place the brown pillow between the orange and the red. Focus on fabrics that stand out against the leather, such as velvet or brocade.

I have a feature wall that is painted a deep farmhouse red. It's not too bright and I used flat paint. Only one wall with the red, as it seems to stand out too much otherwise. If you do a feature wall, choose the wall that you find yourself focusing on the most when you enter the room or the wall that the couch rests against. Add a big area rug to your floor to liven up the space. Something like this Orange and Red area rug is quite dramatic and really stands out well against a leather sofa.

Use red and orange in your accents when choosing picture frames, mirrors, candles, and lamp shades. Even a little bit of a vivid accent color stands out against dark brown, so don't overuse.

What are creative ways to decorate your room?

If you like the stars on your walls, why not try a night and day theme?  Your room will look different at night than it does in the day.

Black and white is a great for bedding, but add a touch of color with a bold red throw pillow and cuddly napping blanket. Use glow in the dark wall stickers that peel off and on your walls easily, and add enough of them to form a pattern. The pattern will only show up at night, so it adds an extra element when its dark.  Candle wall sconces are great to use when it's night as well.

Instead of wall art, why not do something different like a port hole? Use a round photo frame, preferably black, and back the port hole with thick, black construction paper. Poke holes in the paper to form a pattern. Maybe you form a star scene like the big dipper or just have random dots throughout. Put sparkly white lights through the holes in the black paper and place it in the frame. Once you plug it into the wall, you will have what looks like a port hole to a pretty night sky.

If you use black and white on your bed, use those colors throughout the entire room. If you use red as the accent, add a rich red area rug to your floor like this Red Allure Area Rug .

For a day time look, add thriving green plants and a water fountain. If you add a fountain that has a light, it can double as a night light or just give off a nice aura when you are getting ready for bed. 

How can i make my room fun and colorful?

Add a complementary color to the mix and pull it all together. For lime green and blue, I'd choose hot pink for a splash of color.

If you have a lime green comforter, add some hot pink throw pillows and a hot pink cuddly blanket to the bed. If you want it to be really vibrant, choose pillows that are furry or of a retro-type material.

Add a lava lamp or a cool new shade to your existing lamp.

Get some hot pink sheets and a pillow case that has pink and lime green. You can buy sheets like that are Pottery barn or Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

Add mirrors to your walls. If your wall color is dark, it will brighten the room.

If your current rug is all blue, add a hot pink shag area rug like this Vivid Pink Flokati area rug.

Need opinions on idea for a new bedroom!?

I can give you an idea of what I did in my own bedroom. I was looking for sophisticated, with a touch of old, southern romance.

I have cream on my walls, and I did one accent wall in a solid navy-ish blue. I used deep blue, black, and cream as my accent colors.

I have several large black framed photos on the walls that have a touch of blue, black and cream in the prints. On the floor I have a fluffy shag area rug like this thick, luxurious cream Flokati area rug. My bedding has cream and blue toile and I accent with blue throw pillows. I also have a black, wrought iron chandelier hanging above the bed.

The overall look is sort of girly, sort of romantic, but nothing too over the top.
