How to Disguise an Ugly Carpet
- 1). Lay down the biggest area rug possible. To make it blend in with the floor, choose a flat-weave rug as opposed to a more noticeable shag.
- 2). Place furniture strategically to cover up unsightly stains or imperfections.
- 3). Decorate the room with potted plants. These not only take up floor space, but also draw your eyes up and away from the carpet.
- 4). Light the room with adjustable lamps. For example, floor lamps shine light down and up, illuminating ugly carpets. Instead use lamps with adjustable necks that you can point at the wall, artwork or furnishings.
