To get a carpet with a loud and proud pattern or to buy a carpet with modest, unobtrusive shade and design is a choice that is solely the carpet owner’s. If you are proud of your furniture and house interiors, then pick a plain carpet to emphasize your house accessories. But if you have rather plain house furniture and mild house colors and interiors, then pick the carpet that will create spice in your living area so that attention will be drawn to the room.
Go all out in a really bright or really dark colored carpet with striking patterns. You might also just pick a tamer carpet in either warm colors or cool colors with mild patterns that are mildly contrasting in design. Finally, pick a carpet in pale colors with patterns that have no sense of contrast at all if you don’t want the attention to be on the carpet but on your lovely furniture.
Look at how your furnishings are designed. The shape, curve, and pattern should set a trend for how your carpet should be designed. There should be harmony in your furnishings and your floor design, not completely but they should complement each other or highlight each other even if they are not of the same pattern. Decide if you want harmony or contrast among your floor and your furnishings.
In choosing your carpet color, rule out the pale colors if you have children and pets in the house. Stains brought about by children and pets are easier to conceal when you have a darker colored carpet.
The color you pick for your carpet should match the color theme of your walls. Choose from the same family of color your walls came in so that everything will be pleasing to the eye.
Carpet color should also be chosen with a specific mood in mind. Would you want the room to have a romantic, calming feel? Then pick the cool relaxing colors of pink, purple, and blue. If you want an energizing, inspiring vibe, then pick bright warm colors like red, orange, and yellow.
Consider the lighting in the room. A dark room would do well with a light colored carpet while a room that is already suffused with light will look good with dark colored carpets.
It is important to pick carpet colors that match. If you are to pick any shade of purple carpet such as mauve, lavender, and violet, better pair it with gray, silver or gold. Carpets with orange hues are best teamed with yellow, green or blue colors. Green shaded carpets look best when paired with light yellow colors, orange, brown, and gray. For blue shaded carpets, the colors that will make it more pleasing to the eye are green, yellow, and orange.
Have a fun time choosing carpet pattern and carpet color for your home!
