Area Rug on Wall to Wall Carpet
Comments (3)I recently read somewhere on this forum that it's a no-no. I disagree. I have wall to wall in my family room in beige with a 5x7 area rug in the main open space of the rug. I love it and my DH is a floor TV watcher, so it's extra padding. It adds some dimension to my floor, IMO. Keep in mind, my area rug is subtle in design pattern so it accents the wall-2-wall nicely. My girlfriend, who is a re-designer, and has extremely great taste in decorating (her home could be in a magazine) and laying out rooms, also has an area rug over wall to wall. I've heard from designers they are best used on a diagonal with the one end leading you into the room. Mine is not down that way, but it works in our space. Hope that makes sense....See MorePlease show your area rug over carpet.
Comments (16)Hi, I'll try to answer your question about posting a picture. Open a photobucket account at photobucket.com (it's free) and upload the picture you wish to post to that account. From the photobucket picture, you'll see several boxes either beside or below the picture. One of these will be HTML. Click on HTML with your cursor. A yellow box will appear saying copied. Then go to the message box here and write your comment in the message box. Select where in your message you'd like your photo. Hit paste. A link will appear that will be to your picture, but when you preview, the actual picture should be there instead of the link. If it's not there, try again before submitting the message. If you have trouble, post a message again asking and one of us will be happy to keep helping you. We'd love to see your pictures and would love your input!...See MoreDo you put Area Rugs over carpet?
Comments (17)Do you have to put pads under an area rug? Figured the wall to wall was good enough padding. I have 1/2" pad under my wall to wall. To answer OP's question, I use area rugs in my house to "anchor" the furniture, add some pattern/texture (in my living room, I'll post pics once I get furniture back in, had ceiling painted today). I also use one in my family room to anchor and define the "conversation area" since our breakfast nook is tucked into a corner of that room (also have round area rug under round breakfast table, it's too small but it keeps stains off the WTW carpet!)....See MoreCan I put a round rug over my carpeting in the living room w/o it movi
Comments (2)For years I had oriental area rugs over carpet....until I got up my courage to rip out the carpet!...andI found that both carpet and hand woven rugs have a "grain"...a way the tufts lie.....and certain rooms have a traffic pattern which affects the way a rug moves. Even now on bare floors my diningroom rug moves south! I think it has to do with the fact that when people walk one way they are walking fast and when they walk the other way they are walking slowly. Ir the rug creeps, turn it around....that may help....See MoreRelated Professionals
