It's absolutely okay, and even designer-approved to put an area rug over carpeting. You can do whatever you like in your home, and all that really matters is that you like the way it looks. That said, there are some "tricks" to putting an area rug on carpet that might help: http://www.decoratorsecrets.com/rugs-over-carpet.html

Which color of carpet should I choose for yellow walls?

Always, always choose neutral colors for carpets/flooring. That way you can put any color furniture on top of them. With yellow walls, I would recommend Zinc gray carpet: plumcarpet[dot]com/products/zincgray-carpet Gives you nice contrast, but still frees you up. If you use a bright color in flooring it limits what you can do with the rest of the room.


Can carpet be put down on an uneven floor?

FLOOR PREP CARPET You can put carpet over an uneven floor, BUT Every ridge, Gap or mis alignment in the sub floor will show through over time. Here is a good rule of thumb.. If a gap or a height difference greater than the thickness of a Nickel is present, it will show through the carpet sooner or later. Carpet cushion will help, but it is not "floor prep" on a roll & will not fix anything, only mask it some. Ardex floor feather finish is a great & easy product to skim coat & feather out and fill in differences, it is available at any carpet installation supply house or the home centers.. DO NOT use dependable white crack filler, it will crack & break apart and cause you more problems in the long run.
