    You can put a bright area rug over the ugly carpet. You could make wooden frames and cover them with fabric that ties in with your window treatments and hang them or lean them against the walls. Throw pillows can also bring in a splash of color as well as vases or accessories.

    As long as you like the effect, there is no right or wrong way to decorate. Enjoy!!

    Buy a big floor rug that you can put over the ugly carpet (and take with you when you leave). Make or buy cushions that have the colours of your sheers in them, or maybe better, cream coloured ones that will go with the heaps of colours you have in that room. Then maybe some matching cream coloured throws over the back of the seating to lighten it all?
