Is this weird? We have light carpeting and 2 dogs and now a number of stains that make the carpet look disgusting, despite having just been cleaned. I'd like to put an area rug down in the middle of the living room, adding color, decoration and hiding the nasty looking carpet below.
Do you think it will look weird?
Nah. We have a big area rug in our front room.
You probably want to get a rug mat, though, to keep it from sliding around.
Absolutely not weird at all.
I have two area rugs in my living room.
One under the couch/coffee table area, one under the man chair.
Not just practical with kids/dogs/adults with shoes, but it's beautiful as well.
It breaks up the room into areas, and compliments/contrasts with other colors.
Target has great area rugs, and inexpensive enough that you can change them when you get a new look, new season, without breaking the bank.
What a bunch of rednecks.
Only thing I'm concerned about is the dog pissing on the rug. Much harder to clean an area rug of pee than the carpet.
Well, if Chai has done it, then I absolutely must do it too!!
Yeah, we got old cacky rug down from the conservatory in the lounge room during the winter on top of carpet (despise carpet - sorry, my personal thing - ugh) but with the dogs and cats running in and out- it protects the carpet a little as they are covered in mud (wayyyyyyyys too much rain). Also - kids in welly boots who have an amazing knack of not to remove boots before walking in!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mmmmmm... practical right now rather than what it looks like. Wooden floors again - ONE DAY!
Stumble It!
