I am repainting and decorating my spare bedroom and have a question regarding carpet and area rugs. The room has honey stained pine hardwood floors which I want to keep. I dont really want to have carpet installed in the room, so here is what i'm thinking. How do you think it would look if I bout a piece of carpet alittle smaller than the size of the room and put that down? Like 3-5 inches of hardwood still exposed around the edges of the room. Would this look weird? I want just a plain colored light tan carpet with a thick nap or shag like. Any body have this or seen it done? Also should I do something to the edge of the carpet to keep it from unraveling? Thanks for any help
1st of all what you are proposing is very common and works well. So, yes it's a good idea.
Shag carpet works well for this because it gives you great contrast from the flat surface of the wood.
You definitely would need to bind the carpet, so here is my suggestion.
1. Use blue tape to lay out your rug size and shape. Just put the tape around the room just where you want the rug to go. Don't be afraid to move the line in or out to work around features of the room.
2. After completing the above, draw the shape onto a piece of paper, measure the dimensions and add them to your new drawing.
3. Take your design to your local independent flooring store and have them help you select the right carpet. They will be able to give you a price for the material and the binding complete. You may want them to give you a price option on a felt backing which will protect your wood floor from abrasion. Or if you prefer you can by cushion or a slip knot rug mat to lay under your new rug.
