  1. Ombre your Walls

Solid walls are so boring! You can make your wall ombre with small cans of paint colors from the palette that you can get from the store. You can paint an entire room in ombre or make an accent wall.

  1. Carpets that Make a Statement

You can easily break the rules with STAINMASTER® Signature Squares™! Normally, when you are decorating a room, you are bound by the traditional rug shapes and sizes. For example, Living Rooms usually require an 8′ x 10′ rug. The play room had two 8′ x 10′ rugs and an 8′ x 8′ rug, and it just was not working for us! You can see more picture of how we used the STAINMASTER® Signature Squares™ to break the rules.

You can arrange or rearrange the carpets however you like. There are no rules! STAINMASTER® Signature Squares™ are Rugs Without Rules.
