Question:
This is home-style!
I repainted my boys old rooms. One is now lime sherbert green and the other is raspberry sherbert pink. LOL. The old, old, nasty
carpet is dark pine green. Must I go with beige carpet to replace it?

Answer:
Off-white is my suggestion. To make the rooms look even more dessert-like, I mean...

: A white carpet sounds like a sure disaster to me... So, staying on the gourmand theme, I'd prefer chocolate or orange colours.

Answer:
Here is my new, smart(er) solution: New painting is less expensive than carpets, ergo; clean the old carpets, and re-paint the walls off-white!!!
Hey, have you asked your boys about their opinion (might be wise...)
:-*


Answer:
I think a chocolate colored rug would look very nice with the rasberry, yellow for the lime room. My living room is a very light lime color and I ended up finding a multi-toned rug at Lowes. It works out nicely, being multi-colored hides the little disasters my 3 year leaves behind. You know, boogers and stuff. ;D

Answer:
Thank you for your replies! The carpet must be replaced no matter the wall color. I just painted the rooms--the pink one is actually in progress, as it needs a second coat....
Jon now has a teenage bachelor pad in the basement, and Sam has the master bedroom. My choice was and is the guest room as it overlooks the backyard and pool.
The green room will be a guest room, the pink room will be my office--returning my kitchen table to gastric pursuits.
The two rooms flank the guest bath and I want them to have the same color carpet for continuity of style.
That bath and the living room are a creamy french vanilla yellow---HA HA! I'd never thought of yellow carpet!! And that's a great idea!
A dark chocolate brown would also work, and undoubtably be more practical and less visually disturbing.
Heh,heh, yellow it is. Thank you!!

Answer:

The carpet should match the curtains.

Each window, upstairs and down, has Levelor roller shades in a white, sturdy synthetic/fabric kind of material. They amazingly are opaque for complete privacy while not blocking any light. They give me that continuity of style I like, and are subtily textured so it looks like sheets of water were flowing down and have a scalloped gimp edged bottom.
Some neighbors thought blinds were cheap and wanted me to get some kind of slatted mini-blinds or plantation shutters. I steadfastly refused, even though in actuality my blinds cost the same any other kind of blind.
My shades keep my house totally private, full of natural light, and they are never in need of dusting !!!
