    you may have to cut a patch for it if you have a remnant left from the installation. other wise decorative throw rug over it and call it good.

    DO you have any carpet scraps left? If so, cut the stain out and replace the area with a patch. Other than that the only thing you can do is to put a small area carpet over top

    you can actually get colored chalk that is used for spot dyeing of fabric and carpet and work it in to the fibers to recoil or them as close to original as possible

    Bleach removed the dye from the carpet. There isn't much you can do except cover it with another rug.

    If it's a small spot, you can find something that is the same color as your carpet and dab till the color matches up. I did that with a dime sized bleach spot.

    DO NOT cut your carpet . Even professional carpet installers have issues making a seam disappear, and unless you have seaming tape, a proper seaming iron (not a clothing iron) this is not a job you can do yourself .

    Go with the colored chalk idea or even some RIT dye?

    If it's relatively small, you might be able to camouflage it with a permanent marker in the same shade as your carpet -many craft stores sell single markers in a very wide range of colors.

    Is there any area of carpet that is always obscured from view? If so, take a bowl and trace a circle around the bleached spot. Carefully cut it out. TheN Trace another circle on the obscured spot and cut out. Put the good piece here the bleached piece was. Use double sided tape hold both back in their places.
