I have a bright kinda dark blue painted room, what color carpet should i have with it?


With dark blue walls, I'd consider a neutral toned carpet. Creams, beiges, or taupes will not conflict with wooden furniture. If anything, they would accent it.

To liven up a neutral carpet, I'd add an area rug that complements your furniture and wall color. With dark blue, you could add a rug like this blue and silver rug, and use the accent colors for your room decor.

A hang out corner is even better with an area rug

How can I make a hang-out corner in my room?



To create a hang out corner, you should first devise a theme for it. You can keep to the same theme that your entire room is, or you can change it up by adding extra touches.

An example: If your room is hot pink and girly, you can jazz up your hang up corner by adding black, white, or animal print.

Get at least one big pillow that would be your focal point in the corner. Alternately you can get a small bean bag chair or two, or a fluffy chair that you can sit in. An area rug can add to your theme, and a rug like this Animal Print Area Rug can liven up a hot pink room in your hang out corner.

Add pictures or posters of your favorite things. If you are sticking to a theme, keep them in your theme colors.

If you have an iPod, add a docking station so you can listen to the music out loud. Add magazines in a basket or books on a small shelf.

What color rug will look good with a dark pink room?


The color of rug you pick depends on whether you want to add a bit of splash to your room or if you just want something to accent the pink.

If you want to add a 'theme' to your room, why not try an animal print rug? A rug like this Animal Print area rug would look great with pink. You can accent with zebra print throw pillows and a few frames or pieces of wall art.

If animal print isn't your thing, you can add an accent rug that would neutralize the dark pink. A rug in cream, white, or taupe would look great with that color. Something like this shag area rug in shades of cream would be comfy on the feet.

There are also other rugs that you can add. If you like girly stuff, this area rug would be great, complete with butterflies and hot pink accents.

How should I decorate my room?

I'm 13 and I'm gonna be a freshmen in high school this year. My walls are white and I can't paint them any other color :(

There are a lot of ways to jazz up a room without painting.

A great theme for room that you can't paint and don't want too girly is zebra/animal print. Because your have white walls, you can go as wild as you like.

Add a new comforter to your bed. Choose a hot, bright color like turquoise, red, or hot pink. With some new throw pillows a cuddly blanket or two, your bed will look like an ad in a magazine.

On your floor, add a large zebra area rug. Something like this Zebra area rug would be great in a room with white walls and bright color everywhere else.

Posters are relatively inexpensive and are a great way to liven up the walls. You can buy posters online or at your local Walmart. As well, buy a bulletin board and some picture frames. You can also add some word art to your walls, and there are lots of sayings you can choose from.

Don't forget about curtains. They make your room cozy and add color as well.

Minimizing a forest green rug with area rugs

The carpet in my room is forest green. What neutral color best compliments that?


Arboretum1sml.jpgWith forest green carpets, I'd do a white or taupe on your walls. You don't want to choose a shade that is too dark, as the carpet is already dark enough.

Another alternative is to lighten up the rug area by adding a large area rug. If you buy one large enough you could cover a big enough area that most of the green is covered. A contemporary area rug like this Anji Mountain Bamboo rug would jazz up your room and detract from the forest green rug.
