Is it weird to put an area rug over a carpeted room?
Permalink Closed

The carpet in our rooms are a dark chocolate brown.  We're painting BIL's (the 9 y.o.) a medium khaki color and putting new white baseboards in.  The room is small as it is and any paint color other than white may close the room in even more.  So I was thinking of putting light area rug down to divert attn away from the dark carpet.  Is that going to look weird?  Should I save the area rugs from hard surfaces like wood? Plus I like they complete a room:

I lay rugs over carpet. I've got a colorful one over a beige carpet. Gives the room some extra color! I think you're idea will look great.

I do that also. I have a colorful one over a light carpet. It helps break up all that beige. I think it will look nice.

I think it should look fine, espeically if the brown carpet isn't too plushy and thick.

Yep, it will look just fine.  I accent with area rugs on carpet too.

I think it looks fine as well. My only concern is that it's a light colored rug in a 9 y.o. boy's room and it's bound to get pretty dirty.

I dont think that you should put rugs over a carpet. Never done this before, you can put a rug over a rug pad for the safety measure but rug over a carpet is wastage of money and additionally you have to clean both.
