Think about where the carpet will be fitted. High traffic areas such as stairs and hallways require hard-wearing, practical carpets that maintain their appearance, whereas bedrooms can be fitted with more luxurious qualities as they aren't subjected to the same level of traffic.
The size of the room should also be taken into consideration - neutral colours accentuate a feeling of space and brightness, so avoid deep shades if the room is small. There are many different neutrals to choose from including creamy whites such as our Ventura Opal from our Sensation range to subtle taupes and steel greys such as Peak Frost from our Inglewood Saxony range (shown right).
If your room has little or no direct sunlight think about choosing a carpet in a nutty brown or warm caramel. Which will bring in warmth and light. Complement these rich colours with a slightly paler shade on walls for a light and breezy feel.
Sampling is the perfect way to initially see how a particular colour matches in with the rest of the decor. You can see and feel how the colour and texture work in a room and importantly, in natural light.
