My walls are black. I got some indoor/outdoor carpet which I adhered to the walls. It actually looks very clean cut and nice. The floor carpet is 'Matador Red'. I got it from home depot and installed it myself. Its actually not a solid red. There is a subtle checkered pattern in it. To break up the blackness of the walls, I added a few pannels (actually my son's old closet doors) which I coveres with "christmas red" velvet material. I will be using the same "christmas red" material as the curtains/drapes. Although in regular light its kinda 'red', with the black walls and ceiling, it tones it down to a real nice color. Th funny thing about this whole project, is that I havnt even purchased a tv or sound system yet. But im having fun building. And as for those 'girly decorating shows' Ive been relying heavily on 'Queer Eye' for my decorating tips!
Oh yeah, one more thing. Were the liquid nails enough to hold the lip on your carpet down? or did you have to staple/ tack it down aswell? I used some carpet adhesive,and I tried staple gunning it down, but my staple gun didnt have enough umph to get into the plywood fully, so I actually had to get upholstery tacks to secure the carpet. Its been 2 weeks already and its still in place, so I guess it will hold.
Ill try and post some pics soon,
Thanks for your help and responses,
