Do you need help with colors?

June 1, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

I’m an interior designer but for me it’s harder to do my own place than other people’s places since I have to LIVE with it and don’t have the money to change it whenever I want to. We have a dark brown and light beige area rug (shaggy), a rustic red entertainment center, big overstuffed blue couch and love seat.
Our favorite colors are: brown, red, black and some lighter neutral colors. We love Asian styled themes and rustic styled, too. Any suggestions??

I have young children and inexpensive area rugs. I plan to move in a year, and I want to keep my rugs until then. But, they’ve been spilled on, peed on, and who knows what else. How can I get them clean without spending more than they’re worth?

What is the cost to have two area rugs (6′ by 3′) cleaned?

I just received two area rugs that are 6ft by 3ft for free through freecycle.com and the previous owner had big dogs. I don’t think beating the rugs will make the smell disappear, so I’d like to get them cleaned. Since I didn’t pay for them, I don’t mind spending the money to have them cleaned. I just want to know a ball park price range, so I know what to expect.

I have a cream rug & was thinking about buying a new red one, but to save money I was wondering if there was anyway I could dye the cream one red? Has anyone ever done this or is it not advisable?
