Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Use an area rug to conceal spots near your sofa. Build your seating group around the sofa, rug and coffee table. Area rugs also help unify the seating area and give the room a finished look.
Step2
Add a magazine basket. Or a decorative basket of dried flowers. Both are perfect for hiding small spots on carpet.
Step3
Put a decorative box or chest over the spot. It can double as a coffee or end table and give you added storage space. Find unique pieces at estate sales, consignment shops or antique stores.
Step4
Make a skirted table. Top it with a lovely lamp and a few accessories. You get the added bonus of storage space under the table.
Step5
Plant a tree in a handsome container. This is an ideal way to hide a carpet spot near the corner of a room. If you do not have a green thumb, buy a beautiful artificial tree.
Step6
Toss floor pillows over the spot. These big, plump pillows come in a wide range of colors and textures to compliment most decor. They'll give you added seating space and style.
Step7
Buy a large ottoman. It can be used in almost any location. Put a tray on the ottoman and it double as a table. Remove the tray and you have extra seating.
