If you’re worried that a very pale carpet will look too cold in the winter months, dress it up with textured rugs in warm colours, such as ochre, burnt sienna or taupe. If rugs aren’t for you, accessorise with contemporary cushions to add spice to your furnishing scheme.
Practicality is one of the main reasons white or cream isn’t always the first choice; people are worried it will show up the dirt. However, thanks to modern construction, these days it’s possible for pale carpet to keep its good looks, even in heavy traffic areas like lounges or hallways.
