How To Cover Stained Carpet?
Do you have a stained carpet? Are you suffering from a poorly done tile floor? How about a scratched and dull-looking wood flooring? Aren’t you just dying to have a brand new floor just like the first time you moved into your house? Or if it’s an old house, the somewhat flawless floor that you frequently see in your dreams? I sure do! The problem is, I’m only a tenant and have practically no right to redecorate as I please especially if the change I have in mind involves taking out the old flooring and installing a new one.
I learned that area rugs could do the trick without the need for refurbishing, repainting or over-all set-up of a new floor material. I breathed a sigh of relief as I realized that I didn’t have to spend much dough for improving my apartment’s flooring and didn’t have to talk it out with my grumpy landlord. Area rugs are great home decors. They are cheap, all-around decorating items, as well as easily accessible and highly adaptable to all living spaces and backgrounds. Plus, they can really do something for my unsightly hardwood surface. I swear I have to teach my dog a lesson about not paw-skating around my place.
If you are like me and wanting so badly to change your worn out wood floor to a beauty, place area rugs strategically on scratched or dull surfaces. Better yet, choose a bigger area rug to cover more space and add an elegant feel to the room. This will look amazing most especially in winter while the fireplace is on and the lighting is low. The area rug gives off a country-style, cottage home ambiance.
Using area rugs on carpeting- Just because you have wall to wall carpeting is no reason not to use area rugs. Wall to wall carpeting is nice but plain. A colorful rug on the other hand, can make a room that is carpeted look even cozier. It will also add color to the room, making it look brighter and more cheerful. While you might not want to choose a color for your wall to wall carpeting because it is better off neutral, you can add color to the floor with a beautiful rug.
My bathroom has tile flooring. I’ve complained so many times of how poorly the tiles were placed. If super glue would work, I would have fixed the problem myself. Additionally, tiles are by nature cranky pieces that color themselves over time. I’m sure you’ve seen the familiar yellowish or brownish streaks showing up expectantly over the years. No amount of scrubbing, brushing and disinfecting can prevent this awful truth, just like we can’t avoid wrinkles and sagging skin as we grow older. Area rugs prove to be angels of decors as they can disguise the stains and yellowing, and they can prevent further tile problems as they protect the frequented tiled areas.
If you are one of the many tenants who feel hopeless about their ugly flooring and is powerless to do anything (it’s all up to the property owner), or have no budget for a major home-decorating project, this article surely helps you. Area rugs are made for you! They are not only functional items but aesthetic aids as well as they provide a very stylish touch to your home.
