An area rug is a great way to bring some color, pattern and life into a space- but what happens when you have wall-to-wall carpeting? You may think you need hardwood floors to use an area rug but that is not the case! If you have a light, neutral wall-to-wall carpet you can absolutely use an area rug to bring some excitement into your space. I searched the whole world wide web for some great uses of area rugs on top of carpeting and I think you will be surprised how good it can look!
This neutral on neutral works because of the change in texture!

This kid's room got a nice punch of color with this fun area rug layered on wall-to-wall carpeting!

The graphic pattern of this area rug really breaks up what could be a very neutral space.

And this room is just grey perfection!
And I love the graphic element the area rug brings to this bedroom

What do you guys think- do you like it or still on the fence?
I love the look but fear the kids (or me) will be tripping over the rug;)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean :-) I think its good to choose a rug that isn't too thick and using it in a lower traffic area, bedrooms are a great place for them!
