Putting a Rug Over Carpet

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!

No its actually a easy way to keep hide carpet with some marks or stains on it. I myself spread fancy area rug when there is some party at my home. and at other times i simply remove it as my children lie often on carpet making it a mess.

Children always make a room look messy. I always store mine in a designer cupboard, tailored for everyone's needs in the modern world, yet comforting.
Bella actually started this thread some years ago, but it's my turn with the time machine next weekend, so I'll pass on your suggestion.

While I'm there, I'll try to squeeze in a few beers with Gus, Kicky, Slappy and all the girls in Eva's Wine Bar.
I wonder if she's still making them there fancy cakes for Francis?

Sigh......

If chai2 already done this previously then you can also try may it is working.

You probably want to get a rug mat, though, to keep it from sliding around. It absolutely not looked weird at all. It is covered with all the decorating things.

I think it’s a great idea to introduce another rug over the existing one. It may look weird if the colors used are not in sync with each other. Try to use contrast colors to break the monotony of your room. It’s an inexpensive way too.
