Rugs on Carpet.

The concept of layering is often talked about in design. Layering can create the room with the right amount of texture, color, shape and light. One mode of layering is using rugs as it helps bring texture and color into the room. Many people shy away from putting a rug on carpet but it is a great way to layer and break up a large carpeted room.

Decorating with blue carpet

Through out the city, a number of the older homes have blue carpet in the living area and/or bedrooms. Blue carpets became very popular in the late 80's, early 90s and for many it is a great personal aesthetic. Although, some new home buyers would prefer to replace the blue carpet but find themselves unable to purchase new flooring right away because of the huge financial investment a home is. If you find yourself in a home with blue carpeting there are a number of ways to decorate the room.

• Keep the rest of the room rather neutral. Paint the walls a beige or white and let the blue carpet anchor the room. 

• Fill the room with light wood accents, white/beige couches and sheer curtains. Keeping the furniture neutral also means that the furniture will match any of the new flooring if you do replace the carpet. 

• Play up the blue! Add in other shades of blue through paint, pillows or wall art. 

• Don't be afraid to bring other colors into the room but limit it to one or two other colors. Too much color will come off overwhelming.

Whether temporary or permanent, how do you decorate with blue carpet?
