Bedroom Rugs: July 2010 Archives

Can you use peel and stick carpet tile over existing carpet without ruining the existing

carpet?

A big area rug would be much less expensive than the peel and stick tiles, and if you buy one large enough, it can cover huge spaces. The sticky part of the tiles will leave a residue on the carpet that would be hard to get off.

Try a big, cushy rug like this  shag area rug or an animal print area rug. An 8 x 11 will cover a big space.


18 year old bedroom ideas?

If you choose hot pink and black, then accent with an animal print, the trick is lighten it all up with some white. Paint one feature wall hot pink and the rest white, or if you really like the hot pink, paint two walls that color and the rest white.

Use black in your furniture and as part of your bedding. You can find a lot of great pink and black bedding. Solids tend to be boring, so find something in hot pink with large black patterns or black with large pink patterns.

Incorporate the animal print into your room by adding a large animal print area rug. Something like this zebra print area rug but in a cheetah pattern would look great in a hot pink room.

Throw pillows in cheetah, pink, or black liven up the bedding, as does black frames on the walls with posters that have a touch of pink or cheetah. A cheetah blanket over the end of your bed is great for napping and also brings in that bit of animal pattern as well.

What colors go with lime green and hot pink?

I have a lime green carpet and need to know what colors would go with it because I'm redecorating my room but i can't change the carpet?

dyn-nolita-1310-090.jpgI would throw an area rug over the carpet, just to detract from the lime green a bit. Something like this Zebra area rug would look great with lime green and pink, but wouldn't add an additional color to mix things up even more.

You can incorporate the zebra theme in your accessories as well. Zebra lampshades, black and white frames, or a splash of zebra in the form of throw pillows all work together for a great room.
