Our Carpet Colour Matching Guide 6 Tips for Interior Excellence

If you’re happy to repaint your walls, your choice of carpet colour will be much more varied. If you’re content with your existing walls, though, then you’ll need to sit down and have a think about what flooring is likely to coordinate the best.

While white, cream or grey walls are blank canvases that pair well with almost any other colour, brightly painted or wall-papered rooms require neutral shades that are very subtle to avoid clashing. If, however, you’ve got a common colour scheme for your room such as blue or green, it can look nice to match your walls with a carpet in a slightly darker or lighter hue of the same colour.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to change up your interior décor frequently, it can be a good idea to just opt for carpets in more neutral tones. This will allow you to overhaul a room’s look as many times as you want without having to replace your lovely carpet because its colour conflicts with your new style.

If you think a beige carpet sounds boring, it’s actually very easy to liven it up by choosing one with an interesting pattern or loop style. You could also then add pops of brighter hues to your room through your furniture, cushions and art work.

Deciding what colour carpet to place on your stairs can be a minefield. With all those feet trampling up and down it, you’ll want to choose something that doesn’t show up dirt easily while also being durable enough to not fade with regular use.

A mid-tone is your best option or, alternatively, why not pick out a striped carpet that can become an eye-catching feature as well as a practical solution? Just make sure it doesn’t clash with your walls.
