After: Carpet Tiles
Carpet tiles tone down the wall color and suit the Faletras' needs for safety and utility: if an area gets stained, they can simply replace a section of the carpeting. The curved track lighting creates visual highlights and a nice flow throughout the space.

Anthony and Kristie are impressed with the lighting, original abstract mural, new carpet and even the orange paint color. Even baby Benjamin seems impressed with the room and his new play area. All in all, this sports lounge/child's play area is a homerun with the whole Faletra family.
