What do you do when you live in a small, boring, all white rental townhouse? My husband and I were asking ourselves that same question a couple months ago. We’ve lived in our home for 6 years now but we never really called it “a home”. The walls hadn’t been painted in 8+ years, the carpets were what I refer to as “Beige Rental Carpet” and the verticals blinds that were on the sliding door in the living room were hanging by a thread. (No, seriously! A couple were held on by paper clips!)
We first decided we HAD to paint the walls. Now, I’ve never painted any walls. I have to say that after painting…I hate it! Seriously, I know there are people out there that love it but I am not one of them! The prep, the work…UGH! But I have to say that the results are so much better than the before & I am thrilled with it!
Before Painting and Adding a Mohawk Flooring Area Rug
After
We knew though that painting the walls would make the “Beige Rental Carpet” look even worse. I contacted Mohawk Flooring to see if they would let me review one of their area rugs & they said YES! I was thrilled and couldn’t wait to start shopping. I made a list of all the rugs that I liked and showed them to my husband, hoping he would like at least one. Let’s just say, it was NOT an easy task. Mohawk has so many different choices in colors, patterns & sizes so that wasn’t the problem. The problem was agreeing on a rug with my husband! I may not be Martha Stewart but his idea of home decorating is 1990’s Native American chic. Need I say more?
We finally agreed on a beautiful area rug that is sold at Walmart for $125 in the 5ft x 8ft size. When it arrived at our home, I was worried it might not lay flat on the living room floor because it was shipped all rolled up. The carpet laid perfectly, with only one corner rolling up a bit. But after a couple days, it all laid perfectly flat. The Mohawk area rug is very soft and the kids love laying on it while they are watching TV or playing with Legos. This area rug has an action backing helping it to stay put on your floor, it’s stain-resistant and you can vacuum it like you do with your regular carpet.
Before: Ugly Table That Needed to Go Bye-Bye
After
So, after painting the walls, adding this great area rug to the floor, switching from an ugly, disorganized table to a much nicer looking desk and chair (because it’s not only a living room, it’s my blogging office too!), I have to say I think our living room is coming along quite nicely. We are still working on pieces for our walls & that’ll happen soon but I want to make sure it’s something we really love so we’ll keep looking.
If you haven’t heard the name Mohawk Flooring, you’ve probably seen their area rugs on display in stores. They are carried in places like Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s and many other stores. Mohawk sells floor coverings for every room in your home. From carpet to hardwood flooring to laminate (and more!), Mohawk Flooring has got you covered. They are one of the world’s largest floor covering manufacturers and distributors and is a leading producer of yarn, ceramic tile, area rugs and bath mats. Plus, they now offer woven bedspreads, tapestries, pillows, throws and window blinds, too! With so many textures, colors, patterns and sizes, I’m certain you’ll be able to find something from Mohawk Flooring to make your home just a little more homey.

samantha s says
I love the designs of Mohawk rugs. They are such good quality products and they really do give your room a facelift! We’ll be renovating our new house very soon and we’re planning on purchasing a few if I don’t win one.
Tara says
There truly are so many different designs too. Good luck, Samantha!
Diana Ward says
Isn’t it amazing what a little determination and creativity can do? I have lived in rentals for most of my life and when you also have a low income you have to be creative. I learned to recover furniture and paint walls out of necessity…an unattractive living space is depressing. My mother always said “You can’t help poor but you can always help dirty or boring, and I have proven that is true through the years, raising 5 kids and now helping to raise 2 grandsons in the process.
Tara says
It sure is, Diana! I’ve been inspired by having so many crafty, DIY friends & bloggers around me too. Even though I am FAR from a crafty person, I love being inspired by them. Thanks so much!
Jerri Davis says
I can tell that you really worked hard on your living room. I feel like that too doing the whole thing over to put in a new item of home decor. It really looks great and your hard work showed. Thank you, Jerri Davis
Tara says
Thanks so much, Jerri! I really appreciate it!
lisa says
I can’t believe that you have never painted! It looks great. I really like the color. And I agree, I hate painting too. Anyways, the room is pretty. I love the carpet that you chose. We have hardwood floors and I’ve been looking for an area rug.I’d go with the exact same one.
Tara says
Lisa, we’ve always lived in rentals where we either weren’t allowed to paint or it was already painted. Thank you, we’re really happy with it 🙂
autumn kelly says
I have always planned on getting some Mohawk Rugs for my house, but I haven’t gotten to that remodel phase yet. I am also excited hearing about all the other products that they offer. I will definitely check them out.
Tara says
Good luck, Autumn!
Debbie Johnson says
I would love to win a Mohawk Rug. When I built my house 20 yrs ago I used Mohaw Carpet all over my house. It looks like it did when it was put in.
It
Tara says
Oh wow, that’s great to hear, Debbie! Good luck!
Sue Hull says
I love the rug you chose, it’s so pretty. I need one of these rugs. I also have the ugly beige apt carpet. It gets so dirty and stained from everything. I love the selection they have. I definitely need to get me one of these beautiful rugs. Maybe I’ll get lucky and win one. Great review 🙂
Tara says
Thanks so much Sue! Yeah no matter how much we clean the carpet we have, it doesn’t help. Good luck in the giveaway!
Cheryl Abdelnour says
I love Mohawk rugs.The one you chose looks very nice in your home. I love it!
Tara says
Thanks so much, Cheryl!
Mary Withrow says
People say I have a problem with paint, lol – I believe I change the color of my living room and kitchen a couple times a year, lol. I used this exact color in the living room and then kept feeling that the one doors stuck out to much so I went back and painted the door and left the trim white. lol – I still wasnt happy and changed the entire color again, ha ha. The rug and usually pillows always can change the entire room. I really like this rug.
Tara says
Oh wow! That is a lot of painting LOL It just was not my thing…don’t tell anyone but I still need to finish the trim in the hallway LOL
rebeccabasset says
I love the rug that you picked out, I have Ceramic Floors in the Living Room, and Dining Room, with no rug except a very small one where the Doggy Door is. I could really use a Rug to keep my feet warm in the Winter, and to help with the Decor, and these look Awesome!
Thanks for the review!
casey martz says
I love the design of the Mohawk rugs. We really need an area rug for our living room.
adrienne warren says
I have a mohawk carpet in my living room. I love it, and everyone else loves it too, everybody askes me where I got it. My cats love it too, it’s their favorite sleep where I can trip up the humans spot.
Sandy VanHoey says
I love their rugs. My son has the same one you have. I have checked their rugs out and really like their Alcott brown rug. I could use one for my bedroom
Tara says
I would love to get another one for our kids bedroom. I love that they have so many different styles to choose from! Good luck!
Sherry Compton says
Love the design and colors. Your room looks so new and fresh now. It has a more streamlined appeal. It’s amazing how those changes like paint and a new rug really change the whole feel of the space.

Tara says
Thanks so much! Good luck!
sandra davis says
great color selections. I like the more modern styles with shapes.
cheryl says
what a great before and after – the paint and rug really warm up the room and make it inviting. I also like that Mohawk rugs aren’t super expensive for the size.
Tara says
I agree, Cheryl! $125 for the one I chose isn’t bad at all! Good luck in the giveaway 🙂
Kat Emerick says
I got a Mohawk rug a few years and it still looks nice. I love them and my daughter needs one now. She fell in love with the one I have and living room is bare and need some color. Thanks!
Tara says
Good luck, Kat!
Karey Smith says
Wow! That rug made a huge difference in your room. It makes it look so much more warm and finished. I looked around on their website and they have so many great looking rugs I wouldn’t know which one to pick.
Tara says
Thanks, Karey! I agree…feels more like a home now 🙂
Faith Bosnick says
Oh my goodness! What a difference a little paint and an area rug made for your room! We bought our home a year ago and we still have to get to the painting part (which I dread!! LOL)…and we also have to finish out basement. I was hoping to put an area rug in our kids playroom (aka the sunroom) just to add a pop of something out there LOL. Now I’m excited to get our changes going to this house to make it “our home”. 🙂 Thanks for the wonderful review with the added photos!
Tara says
Thank you so much, Faith!Good luck in the giveaway 🙂
Michele R. says
What a lovely makeover! I absolutely love the quality of Mohawk rugs. We have one in our dining area that is stain resistant and super soft, yet durable enough to put up with the dog and the toddler. I’d love to win another for the living room!
Tara says
Thank you so much, Michele! Good luck in the giveaway 🙂

Living on an Air Force base, our house can look very boring very easily. We’ve found that by adding an area rug to our living room, it’s really brightened it up in here! I can’t wait to use a Mohawk rug for my kitchen, as well! That’s next on the decorating list 🙂
Tara says
It really does make a difference! I need one for my kitchen too! Good luck in the giveaway, Sophia!
Cheryl Chervitz says
I have always heard that Mohawk is a good quality product that is affordable. This looks really good in your room. Thanks for sharing.
Tara says
Thanks so much, Cheryl!
angie says
I simply love how much color the rug adds to the room. I also think that the rug would add warmth to the floor in the winter time All in all I think I may be shopping for a new rug
Tara says
Thanks Angie! Good luck in the giveaway!
Melissa M. Miller says
I’ve had a few Mohawk area rugs myself. Unfortunately, with 3 cats, before finally finding the perfect litter contraption, they made a mess on the last one and I had to throw it away. Now my living room just looks DULL and I’ve been wanting to get another one to add some flair to my brown couches. An area rug can do so much for any room, especially if you live in a rental.
Tara says
Ahhh what a bummer about having to throw away the rug, Melissa!
Dorothy Teel says
Your Mohawk rug definitely pulled your room together and with the colors you painted the room they look great together. I also like your desk and chair in the living room. I wish I would be brave enough to change the colors in my house they have been this way for many years.. we repainted, but very close to original colors, lol
Tara says
Thanks so much, Dorothy!
Terri K (@tkharmonic) says
I completely understand the “rental beige”, have done that for years, most of my life, really. We’re finally in a place that has hardwood floors and I need to find a good rug for my son’s room. He doesn’t like playing in there because he’s used to playing on carpet.
Tara says
Oh I agree, playing on hardwood isn’t fun 🙂 Good luck in the giveaway!
Tammy Woodall says
I have been a fan of Mohawk Flooring for years. They have some of the best carpeting and area rugs in the market. Mohawk Flooring makes it where you don’t have to spend a fortune to have great carpet and/or area rugs. I like the before and after pictures you did. The after pictures shows how the Mohawk Area Rug can really brighten and livening up a room.
Tara says
Thanks Tammy!
chelsea says

A new rug can really change a room!!! We really need one for the nursery!
Tara says
Oh that would be great, Laura! Good luck!
Mary Collins says
I checked out their website and really love the choice of patterns their rugs come in! It’s surprising to see how you can completely change the look of a room just by adding a rug, or swapping it out if you have more than one, and adding a new coat of paint to the walls! Your room looks great–I love the Mohawk rug you chose! Thank you for the chance to win one!
Tara says
Mary, thank you so much! Good luck in the giveaway!

Karen M. says
Mohawk area rugs are a simple and easy way to make a boring room interesting. There are so many to choose from; there’s sure to be one to meet anyone’s taste. They’re also a great way to warm up hard wood floors.
carla bonesteel says
That rug looks great in your living space. We are in desperate need of one in our apartment, because we have really ruined the carpet, and need to cover it.
Cassie Korando says
I’ve been looking for an area rug for my living room. Right now it’s just hardwood floors, which isn’t always the most comfortable. I think Mohawk has great quality rugs and I was surprised by the variety of styles to choose from!
Emilie C says
I really like the colors you used to paint the room! And the table is super nice, and I love the contrast between the walls, chair and rug!
Helga says
That look really great in your room. Looks like a good quality rug too.
Nicole Carter says
Oh that looks so nice. What a difference a rug makes! Awesome!
Sylvia Zajis says
I think these rugs really help transform a house into a home. They have such character and durability that you can count on them to look great for a long time.
Chuck says
Yes we have a room just like that. It needs some color and to help with the warmth in the winter for my daughter and granddaughter. It is a room in the basement were we have set up a little apartment setting. No kitchen, but they have their own spaces.
Christina Graham says
Wow! What a difference the paint made…I love that color! And I always love a nice area rug for a splash of color. I think I have a bit of a rug addiction…lol.
Tammy S says
I have too say great Rug company nice review on them. So many too choice from thanks

Maria @ A Savings WOW! says
I love how the rug really changed up the room and added color to the space. I’ve been looking for ideas on how to refresh some of our rooms, so I really appreciate this review!
Maureen G says
I agree with you, I hate to paint walls and ceilings! But I like the effect that the Mohawk area rugs have in giving a room a finished look
Ashley Smith says
I know that one of the biggest things about carpet is the style and how it wears after a while. I can attest to mohawk rugs being awesome. I love the floral style
Rachel says
What a beautiful rug! I totally transformed your room 😀 Thanks for the great giveaway!
Jamie Martin says
To be quite frank, I think that rug is a little too loud for /me/. I would love a black one or something though.
M.Clark says
Congratulations on your new area rug, it brightens up the room. After visiting the website I think I would choose the Staunton Brown or the Palace Border Cream
Deb says
What an incredible difference an area rug can make to affect the beauty of a room! We have had our area rug for many years now and would love to see a new rug take it’s place!
LEslie Rigsby says
I also like Mohawk rugs, but I don’t have one right now. I like the rug you chose. It made your room look bigger, which is always a plus.
Carol Trautwein says
I love the colors of Mohawh rugs, I can picture one in my living room right now. I’m sure my friends will make comments on it! Hope I win one soon!
mell says
A Mohawk rug can really transform a room from whoa to WOW! Mohawk also has great outdoor rugs. I just ordered one for my patio.
Hope says
i like Mohawk carpets. They are quality and fashionable.
Georgia Beckman says
I like the rug you chose. And your room looks much cozier! I have been on the hunt for an area rug for the last month or so. We’re wanting one to put in our library, in the middle of the room where the grandchildren can sit & play games. Oh my goodness, they are expensive! I’d like to have an 8×10, but if I got a 5×7 I’d be happy with that!
Linda Petteys says
Who can’t use a new area rug once in a while? It changes things up and makes you feel as if you have done major redecorating. They help brighten up the place, when as you stated, you have neutral colored carpet. With hardwood floors these rugs give a nice, comfy effect.
Brandi Goolsby says
The “after” pictures look so wonderful. I hate painting as well, and this is motivating to me to get off my duff and get to it!!! I would love to do a safari theme and get a coordinating rug. So cool!
Tara says
Thanks so much, Brandi!
Lu Worley says
That could really help us until we can afford to re-carpet.
sherry lareau says
This is exciting! I am in the process of remodeling my home right now and putting hardwood floors in so I hope I win!
Laura11 says
We recently redid our own living room and were happy with the results… at least technically. It really didn’t look “finished” until we added an area rug. It defined the space and gave the room the “kick” it needed. Thanks for the review!
Kitty says
I’d love a rug for my living room! The floor looks so bare right now!
Tammy Graham @ LoveMy2Dogs says
I love that rug and I love so many more of their rugs also. They have so many awesome ones.
Tina Eiser says
Everything looks great! I love the Rug!
Cathy Frith says
I love the designs of Mohawk rugs. The colors are also bright and they have a lot to chose from.A name brand you can trust
krista grandstaff says
I think it’s great that you mentioned the action backing…I was wondering about the rug staying in place, and curling up since it arrives rolled… thanks for addressing those questions!!
Leslie W says
I love the selection that Mohawk has! Hubby and I just bought a house and for the first time have to buy area rugs for the living room and office. I love the many colors & patterns that I can choose from. Now the only problem is actually trying to decide which ones to get!
Jon R says
We have a Mohawk rug at home and we love it, really brings the place to life. I really like how it really changed your living room, seems more happy and bright!
Jennifer Daniell says
You are so lucky that your landlord will allow you to paint! If I had that option I would paint tomorrow! Even though I too hate painting. It looks great. I also really like your desk chair!
Tara says
Jennifer, they were supposed to paint before we moved in (6 years ago!) and never did so they said we could. Only took 6 years LOL
Allyson Tice says
Wow what a stunning rug and your room looks even more amazing after the addition of this rug. What a great simple thing to did, and with that rug, it looks like a total room redo. Amazing what a bit of color can really do! Great job!
nicolthepickle says
It looks great! I can’t believe that such a little thing made such a difference. I love the rug colours.
Linda Szymoniak says
We just repainted our living room and took up the old carpeting and installed beautiful bamboo flooring. So, while we don’t have full carpeting, we do need something to soften and add color to the middle of the room. My children are grown, but I do have five Treeing Walker Coonhounds and three cats, so any area rug we put in the room is going to have to be of high quality to be able to survive my furbabies. Mohawk has an amazing reputation and I’ve been familiar with their name and products for most of my life. I know an area rug by Mohawk would be the perfect finishing touch to our “new” living room.
Harriet Wilson says
I would love to win a colorful rug. We are looking for a new place to live and a nice rug would make it feel comfy, like home.
Jeanna Wise says
I love the designs Mohawk Rugs. One of these rugs would look beautiful in my house.
April Yedinak says
I really like the bright colors and bold design of the rug. It works very well as a contrast to the wall color you chose. I think you did a great job with your mini-makeover.
Tara says
Thanks so much, April!
jennifer watts says
i love your rugs and would like to win the giveaway
and you have bright colores in the rugs
Desiree Dunbar says
I would love to win this for our new house we are moving into. We are going from carpeting to hard wood floors, and I would love to have a nice rug in the living room!
naina john says
I really like the makeover of your room with this colorful rug. Rugs add beauty to any room.Thanks for chance.
Tara says
Thank you, Naina! Good luck in the giveaway!
Lauren Rochon says
Fantastic room makeover! I love the colors in the rug. I also LOVE the fact that it is stain resistant. That is a great quality in a rug. Thank you for the review!
Tara says
Thanks so much, Lauren!
jovon says
That rug makes the room pop! I would not usually pick something like that for myself but seeing it there I would get it in a heartbeat!
Melanie says
I just love the Mohawk Rug and how it helps this little space! I also think that painting a room changes a room quicker than anything. Getting that messy table out and putting in a desk really pulled the makeover together!
jeanne jewett says
Mohawk has incredible rugs. The colors are vibrant and the style is impeccable. I would sure love to adorn my humble abode with one of their artworks on my floors 🙂
Tari Lawson says
Nothing like a nice rug to add a pop of color to a room. I would love to put one in my breakfast room to help complete the look of the room.
Michelle Spayde says
It’s amazing how a few small changes can make all the difference to a room! Looking fantastic, and I absolutely love your choice of area rug!
Tara says
Thank you so much, Michelle!
Naomi says
I LOVE the pattern of the rug! Such neat colors to spruce up the space.
Anna-Leigh says
I think Mohawk makes some lovely products. And I love the choice that you made. We may be buying our first home soon, and I’m sure we could use some rugs 😉
Suzanne K says
I actually enjoy painting – I find it relaxing! And I love all the Mohawk home rugs – the Cocoa Ink Swirl is my favorite. It goes with the colors of my living room.
Stephanie F. says
Mohawk is a brand name that I recognize and trust. Area rugs can really pull a room together. They make a hard surface floor seem so much cozier.
Cindy S. says
A rug can add soooo much pizazz to a room. Mohawk rugs are beautiful and very high quality. While we re-do our downstairs…I am looking at rugs….and the Mohawk rugs are wonderful!!! : )
Jesi says
Wow your living room looks so good! Love your little desk too!
Tara says
Thanks so much Jesi!
Robert Shank says
I think it’s amazing when you re-paint with a new color scheme and add new carpet to a room. Looks great. Mohawk has been around for a long time and has always been a favorite among folks.
Lisa B. says
I really love these rugs! I have one picked out already 🙂 The rug makes your room look really nice, I like that it has different colors in it so it would match just about everything!
Barbara Platt says
That rug brightened the whole room. My problem is I can never decide on color. Yours looks great.
Tara says
Thanks so much, Barbara!
Melissa S says
I know what you mean about the prep work, we have to do some painting & I hate all the prep & cleanup too. I love the rug you picked, I love your desk chair too.
Tara says
Thank you Melissa! The desk chair is actually a dining chair from World Market. It was the “floor model” (even though it was hung on the wall lol) so I got it for like 50% off 🙂
Amber Mejia says
The rug really makes a difference in the warmth projected in your room pictures. The fabric looks ultra soft and the rug itself doesn’t appear to be bulky and can be easily moved from room to room if you choose. I know I use area rugs in so many different places that a Mohawk rug would be a welcome addition to my home or classroom.
Karen says
The rug looks so nice! I also live somewhere That I’m not allowed to redecorate in, so suggestions like these are appreciated! The beige walls and brown carpet could use some brightening up in my place.
Heather McCormick says
We could really use this in our living room. It is a high traffic area and the kiddos play there a lot. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Linda Bradshaw says
Wow, that really changes the look of the room. I really need one for my living room. Mine is so plain.
Toni Marie Caravello (Feimer) says
I love Mohawk Rugs and have been trying to win one for my living room to add some color and pop it out a bit. I have three problems though 1. my aesthetically challenged husband doesn’t like area rugs and 2. my daughter will certainly give it a beating and 3. They are all so pretty, I am having a hard time choosing which one to get :O)
LOL
Tarah says
I love how quickly an area rug can tie together a room & make it look complete! I love the colors in the rug you chose! Very warm & inviting!
Andrea F. says
Love this rug, its bright and colorful! Give the room just a touch of color and looks great!! Also, thank you for this awesome giveaway! You guys rock!!
Kathy Lane says
Your rug looks so nice.It really brightened up the room.I love all the colors in it too.I need one to give my living room that boost of color.
Jessica K. says
I love the way you re-did your room! I live in a rental right now, and I’m with you on the not liking to paint, but especially since I only plan to be living here another 1-2 years max. A rug is a great idea to spruce up a room even without painting the walls. Plus, I love the mohawk rug designs, they are beautiful. What a great idea 😉
Linda Kwolek says
I love Mohawk Carpets. They are such low maintenance for a great carpet.
Patty says
It really brightens up your room – the colors are great and can go with so many different color palettes. It looks really soft too. Great choice
Gary Tracey says
The rug that you chose for your living room is beautiful.I love Mohawk rugs and I believe in their quality products.Wow! Would I ever like to win one for myself.
Wanda Tracey says
Your taste in choosing a rug to suit your room is superb.I love the beautiful Mohawk rugs and hope to win one of my own.Your review has me convinced that their fine quality rugs will endure years of use and still look great.
Angela W says
I love the colors of the rug your family picked out. I’ve seen Mohawk flooring and rugs at Lowes and wondered if it is good quality and worth it. You did a great job at redecorating your living room area!
Tara says
Thank you so much Angela! I really appreciate that 🙂
sandra davis says
The color rug you added just brightens up the room. Those are such pretty colors. Mohawk rugs are so durable and they also have so many great choices.
Cindy Brickley says
I love Mohawk rugs and they have a wonderful selection of carpets. I have been wanting to get one and I am still deciding on which design I want to get and whether I am going to put it in the dining room or the living room.
Gail Williams says
I have to admit I have been lazy about improving the look of my living room. After seeing what a change can happen with some paint and adding a Mohawk Rug with lots of color I now feel inspired to do something about it. Thanks for the idea and photos.
April Conn says
I love the bright bold colors in Mohawk rugs! What a great way to “bring some life” to a dull room. Great prices and quality craftsmanship,you can’t beat it “with a stick” (pun intended) lol Thank you for making such great quality rugs with even better prices.
Renee Hutchinson says
I really like the rug choice. The colors fit so well adding some color to the room. In fact your choice would look perfect in my living room as well.
Teresa says
Isn’t it amazing what relatively inexpensive things like paint and a rug can do to change the whole look of a room? Every time a see a change–like what you’ve done–it reminds me that I really need to get on the ball with these kinds of updates to my house! Great job on your living room!
Tara says

The Mohawk rug you picked out is beautiful. The colors give the room warmth and a cozy feel.
Auriette says
We use a lot of small area rugs. For one thing, you can take them outside and hose them off, and some you can even put in the washing machine. With nine yakky cats, that’s a big plus.

Love how an area rug adds so much color and character to a room. A simple addition as a rug can chance the whole look of the room.

Wow, what a nice room! I love the new desk and the Mohawk rug adds a pop of color. The room looks really warm and inviting, a great place to hang out.

That was a great idea to place that rug in the livingroom.It completely transformed the entire look of the room.The design of that rug was beautiful.I loved the combination of all of the colors.
Kyla Hickey says
I love pops of color when decorating a room and this rug totally adds some bold colors to the room! The balcony in my apartment is painted marigold-yellow and I’m looking for a beautiful, colorful area rug to compliment the beautiful paint. I’m seriously considering a Mohawk area Rug!
desiree says
i love the color of the rug you have there and then i would use it in the living room and then it would be going between the computer table and with the dog he love to sleep on it
Gaye M says
I love the rug you choose! It really brightens up the room.
David Carlson says
It’s crazy how much the rug changes the room, it looks great! Not that it looked bad before but it really makes the room seem inviting.
Tara says
Thanks so much, David! (It really did look BAD in person lol)
Christina Strapp says
I love these rugs and I have heard so many great things about them. I have a lot of tile in my home and really need to get a rug to put down. I have heard they are really good about not slipping or bunching up.
Gianna says
They have such beautiful rugs.
Michael Lambert says
My wife has been wanting one of these rugs and has been talking about it for a while. They look really nice and look like they are great quality.
Debra Gibbs says
I am moving in with my fiancee (soon to be hubby) and redecorating is the top of the list. Mohawk carpet is now on the list of what I need to freshen up the home. I even get to makeover the man cave as long as I leave the tiki bar in… well imagine me now looking for just the right floor covering for the man cave… I can not wait..
Kathy says
Your space looks great! A rug adds to much and can really transform a room but if you add the wrong one you can ruin it all too. You chose well. Mohawk seems to come through a lot! Id like to win and see if it does the same magic for me:)
lynn brannen says
A Mohawk rug could really brighten up our dull living room.I love one with several colors.The one that was shown here is beautiful.
Lily Kwan says
This rug looks very nice. Thanks for the interesting and informative review!
Susan Marina Brown Lane says
I really need an area rug. Yours looks great! I really like that it has a backing on it to help keep it from sliding around – I tend to be a little bit of a Klutz. I have 3 kids – so stain resistance will be good too! Thanks for the review! 🙂
Trisha McKee says
Love your pictures! The rug adds a great splash of color in an already beautiful room! I’d love this rug because I have hardwood floors and this would help make it all come together.
Michelle S says
I have one of their rugs and I agree it does add something to the room. They are also very durable rugs and ours has lasted a few years now.
Michelle Elizondo says
Oh my goodness! It looks great and I want one for our house.
Shirley Carr says
I’m looking for a nice rug for my livingroom. Makes a big difference.
Maria Iemma says
I have a Mohawk carpet that I bought at the Home Depot in my living room and it has made a tremendous difference in the look and feel of the room.
Tara says
We still love ours, Maria! Definitely brings in some color & warmth 🙂
Shannon says

Tara says
