Therese C on Jul 20, 2013I once painted the living room floor in my house with high gloss black enamel. (Rustoleum porch and deck) I then put down my 10x12 antique oriental rug. I did make sure however, to put carpet tape at the corners and never suffered any slipping rug. The furniture will also help hold the rug still. I am a big fan of painted floors for accent and think you should go for it! Paint it again in a color that accents your room. One suggestion I would make is to put 2-3 coats of clear semi-gloss varnish over the dry paint to prevent scratches from furniture.Helpful Reply
