Choosing the Right Carpet Colors and Styles

Thinking in Color

Choosing the right carpet colors and carpet styles is very important. The choice of carpet color depends on whether you want the room to feel warmer or cooler or to feel more spacious or cozy. It also depends on how much emphasis you want to place on the floor.

To make the room feel warmer, choose a carpet color in the fire family - anything from yellow-orange to a bluish red.
To make the room feel cooler, choose a carpet color that reminds you of water - anything from blue to yellow-green.

Will this room be seen from another room? If so, do you want a sense of connection with the adjacent room, or a sense of separation? One continuous floor covering will link adjacent rooms and make them flow into one another. Different carpet styles or different carpet colors will serve to separate the rooms even more.

More on Carpet Colors

Light, Medium, or Dark Colors?

Light carpet colors create a spacious effect; dark colors, a cozy effect. Medium shades don't alter your sense of space. Is the room too light and bright or too dark? Dark or dulled carpet colors will absorb light while light ones will reflect and multiply light. How much wear will this room get and what kind? Medium colors are easy to clean. Light colors show soil easily, and dark colors show lint.

Bright, Muted, or Dull Colors?

Do you see this room as a restful retreat, or as a play space? Do you want the mood to be stimulating or calm? How much wear will the carpeting get? Remember muted, dull, and neutral carpet colors will camouflage dirt!
