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.

Are Jute rugs a suitable doormat?

Although they are durable, Jute rugs aren't meant for high traffic areas. They are extremely durable and long wearing, but they should be at the most placed in areas of medium traffic. As well, they shouldn't placed in areas that are high in moisture, like laundry rooms or bathrooms.

Odds are the mud and snow would wear your rug down prematurely.

I find that rugs with a backing are the best for front entrances, and they work well as indoor mats as well. They don't curl up because they have a heavy rubber padding under the rug.

Area Rug/Carpet Question?

How do you think it would look if I bout a piece of carpet a little smaller than the size of the room and put that down? Like 3-5 inches of hardwood still exposed around the edges of the room.

It won't look weird at all, and a lot of people do that. When you have hardwood floor with nothing to break it up, it kind of feels cold and endless if you know what I mean? Putting a big area rug down can warm up a room or simply change the style of it.

If you are looking for a specific shag/thick carpet in a neutral color you could try something like this Bamboo Shag or this Romance Champagne Area rug.

Any high quality rug won't unravel as it will be reinforced at the edges. To keep the rug from curling at the edges on your floor, adhere it with carpet tape to the floor.
