Decorating & Remodeling - January 2007

I'm renting a house and the wood floors look really bad and in my bedroom I want something to distract from the defaced wood floor. Not the entire room, just in the largest empty space that would draw a lot of attention. I'm not going to install carpet and they don't make area rugs in the right size so what should I do to make my space look better...I can't put up with this.
