I wanted to add color. Our dog loves to lay on the rug :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-522023 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:11:50 +0000 Meridian 522023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: Ooh, thanks for the tip! Our carpet is beige-ish/brown, and I've been toying with the idea of a carpet on top too. I think DH will hate the idea and think it's redundant (which it pretty much is, haha!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521910 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 13:46:19 +0000 BananaPancakes 521910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a rug on the carpet in the nursery. I didn't think I'd be a fan, but it actually really pulls it all together. Just be sure it's a heavier rug (or it'll constantly move and wrinkle) and that it's size is appropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521887 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 13:41:03 +0000 MsLipGloss 521887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all (I don't think it's silly). I think an area rug can really help to both pull together and define a space! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521486 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 12:12:23 +0000 aprk 521486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: thanks! We're really happy with it. Good tip about the rug pad. We should get one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521483 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 12:11:54 +0000 aprk 521483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: love that dresser! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521410 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:53:44 +0000 lawbee11 521410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: That's how I feel. I don't want to spend a fortune because I don't think one is necessary, but if we got a good deal on a cute one then I'd be ok with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521297 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:21:42 +0000 yellowbird 521297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a rug and carpet. I wish it were a little bigger, but I like that it adds some color to the room. </p> <p>Here it is when we were still in the process of decorating. </p> [attach=1925/13/mh36s7.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521279 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:18:12 +0000 78h2o 521279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make sure you use a pad under the rug... rug directly on carpet will usually discolor the carpet after some time... I've learned that the hard way!</p> <p>@aprk: LOVE your nursery! Beautiful rug... I think it adds a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521272 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:15:48 +0000 cascademom 521272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, not weird. We did that in our little apartment when we first started living together and then engaged. It took some convincing my husband, but it looked nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521269 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:14:48 +0000 Alivoo01 521269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm debating on this too. I'd like to put a rug in to give the room some color since our walls are neutral and our carpet is beige with some specs. We're not "decorating" much, but I do feel weird putting a rug on carpet. Guess it depends if I find a good deal or not. If yes, than probably will. If no, then I'll pass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521216 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:05:07 +0000 lawbee11 521216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: The color of our carpet is similar to yours.

Not fully done yet but here is a photo. </p> [attach=2415/13/mh357r.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521141 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:46:38 +0000 Bao 521141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it would look silly, but I think it would depend on the color of the rug against the carpet too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carpet-rug-in-nursery#post-521139 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:45:42 +0000 lawbee11 521139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the initial stages of planning out our nursery, and I am trying to decide if we should put a rug in the room. We have carpet in that room (it's a neutral tan-ish color). Do you think it looks silly when a nursery has both carpet and a rug? Or do you think it looks better that way? </p>
