You can also choose to paint the floor in the color of your favorite team. For more impact, consider adding your favorite team’s logo on the floor.

Fancy something more subtle but still suggestive of some sport? Then consider opting for a Stockholm stripe rug with Brazilian patterns on it to indicate your interest in the Olympics Games without going overboard with the décor.
