Ugly carpet is an extreme eyesore for any room. Though a lot of creativity is needed, there are ways to make your room look fabulous in spite of the eyesore. One way to do this is to cover the majority of the carpet with an area rug. Try to choose a rug that blends well with the decor in the room. Your area rug should not be the same color as the ugly rug. If you do not have room in the budget for an area rug, try repositioning the furniture in the room. If at all possible, cover any stains or damaged areas with the furniture. Make sure your furniture is positioned in a way that looks natural to the room. Do not place the sofa in the middle of the room to cover a stain. Window treatments are also a great way to spice up a room with ugly carpet. Curtains or drapes should pick up other colors in the room except for the floor color. You don’t want to look at the window and be reminded of carpet! The best advice is to use your imagination and accentuate the parts of the room that look the best.
