Posted the same question a week or so ago....just worded a little differently. My room is currently what I call "builders beige", the color the builder painted the entire house when it was built. Drab, ugly and can be wiped off of the wall with a damp paper towel & just a little pressure. Anyway, I am torn between keeping it a neutral color with pops of color in the accent (curtains, wall décor etc) or painting it a color Carpet it beige (ick!) so an area rug will be in order. Hope you can make a choice quicker than I have.
