Bedroom Carpet

We can’t always change everything from top to bottom in our homes. There are some finishes we have to live with for a while. This reader’s wall-to-wall pink carpet is causing a decorating roadblock. But, can she really make her bedroom look less like it belongs in a Molly Ringwald movie from the 80s? The answer is yes! And I have a few decorating tips up my sleeve to share.

When you have a tool that helps you see the nuances of undertones, getting colour right feels kinda like magic. Because choosing colour with the help of my large painted colour boards is so much easier, they practically do it for you. They are truly one of the most important tools for selecting colour — whether you are a professional or a homeowner.

Animal Print Rug

Antelope Rug

I love animal print rugs because they read neutral (just like when you wear leopard) and work with so many colours! Identifying the neutral in an area rug can sometimes be tricky because they are usually lighter on one side, and darker on the other side. This rug is green beige and taupe.

I would only order an area rug in the right size online IF they show it installed in a room, in addition to the flat product image. And bonus, if the site has reviews. Reading the reviews will also help you get the colour right because people talk about it. I recently ordered this leopard rug from Wayfair. Notice how different the images are.

Colour Pattern

Here’s another tip for buying an area rug online. Always order the smallest size in the rug you are considering (say, in a 2×3′ size) to make sure the colour, pattern, and texture really does work with the rest of your furnishings before committing to order the larger size you need for your room.

A rug is NOT something you can pick out of context. Most often, you need to see it in the room to really know if it’s right. Remember when I showed you the design boards for my friend’s living room refresh? It helps to create a rough design board first with the other elements already in the room.

See what they did in this living room with the patterned light area rug that picks up the taupe brown and introduces blue and cream? And then they repeated the colours in the accent chairs, pillows and lamps. It really is that simple. As long as you keep two principles in mind:Does my room have contrast?Do I have a textile pattern that repeats my sofa colour and pulls in both colour and contrast?
