The living room is probably the most used room in our house. It’s because we get to spend our free time there, watch some movies, hang out with friends, etc. That’s more why we should be conscious about what sort of colors of our carpets we need to pick to decorate our living room.

  • Beige
  • Gray
  • Scarlet
  • Peach
  • Aqua
  • Teal

Beige

We have chosen all warm colors for decorating the living room with carpets. Beige is one of those warm colors that would make your living room more aesthetic. Anything would go with those carpets.

Gray

Gray is a great replacement for black. However, black could also get a place here, but we tried to choose only warm colors. Matching your sofas and other furniture with these gray carpets.

Scarlet

But what happens if you are more of a cold color person? Don’t worry scarlet can be considered a color between cold and warm. They are eye-catching, give a funky look to your living room, and can go with any color of furniture.

Peach

Your favorite color is yellow, but using a yellow carpet in your living room seems to be overkill. Of course, it is. But don’t be worried, you can replace yellow with the color peach which is similar to yellow color.

Aqua

Something similar happened with yellow. If your favorite color is blue, but you can’t use a blue carpet, then go for an aqua carpet. All problems are solved. But that doesn’t mean it’s just a replacement for blue. Aqua is a pleasant color that would remind you of your memories spent on beaches and seas.

Teal

Teal will give your living room a greenish vibe. It’s not entirely a shade of green; it’s somewhere in the middle of blue and green, but it can fill the necessity of both green and blue colors.

Bedroom

Kitchen doesn’t require a carpet to glorify its beauty. But a carpet would definitely amplify the charm of your kitchen up to some degree. So, what color carpets should fit into any kitchen?

  • Black
  • Gray or white

Black

You should either make your kitchen look warm or make it look cold. To make it look cold, you can use a black carpet. If the other furniture in the kitchen is mostly black, then the black carpet should be your priority.

Gray or white

And if you want your kitchen to look warm, try either gray or white. Till now, we didn’t mention white, right? It’s because it’s a lot easier to get your white carpet dirty. 

The kitchen isn’t the safest place for using a white carpet, but if you are not one of those persons who spill something in their kitchen pretty often, then you’re good to use a white carpet.

Carpet And Wall Color Combination

Sometimes, it feels like you’ve chosen the right carpet according to the room-carpet color code, but still, it doesn’t fit in that room. What would be the reason? It’s probably not choosing the right carpet that goes well with your wall.

Gray color wall

Gray color walls are pretty common in every household. And you’d love to hear that gray walls almost go with every warm color or warm color shade. So, what colors are we talking about?

  • Gray
  • Black
  • Off-White
  • Beige

Gray

Of course, gray-colored carpets are the top choice to combine with gray-colored walls. You can do that with any other color out there. It would look great if the color of your carpet and the color of your wall are the same.

Black

Maybe for some, gray isn’t the best option for gray walls. But certainly, no color can ever beat black to the race of best carpet color with gray walls. Black is one of those colors that would go well with any colored walls. 

If you run out of options, then don’t give it much thought and get a black carpet. One color can solve every problem.

Off-White

Another color we didn’t mention up until now. Well, we said earlier that gray walls combine great with warm colors. Off-White is like the definition of simplicity. There are fewer chances of spotting a stain from miles away in an off-white carpet compared to an all-white carpet.

Beige

Now beige is like off the chart type of color for gray walls. But if you want to put a bit of color in your room that is surrounded by gray walls, you can surely go for beige.

White And Cream Color Wall

Maybe we don’t see these colored walls in most households, still, there are a significant number of houses that have these colored walls. But what carpet color would work with these walls?

  • Black
  • Aqua
  • Off-White

Black

You already know that black goes with everything on this earth, right? With white and cream color, it would give you a black and white look, but not exactly black and white as the cream color would make the white color a bit denser.

Aqua

Many might disagree with us here, but truly if you try to combine both of them, you’ll get a splendid result. Just place these two colors side-by-side, or ask any carpet installer near you who specializes in wall painting. Their experience and insight are useful.

Off-White

If you don’t want much variety in your room, you can go for this combination. It’s simple, aesthetic, and warm.

Beige Color Wall

Beige itself has a shade of orange or brown, so something similar or lighter would go well with it. Let’s see what carpets would look good with your beige color wall.

  • Black
  • Off-White
  • Teal
  • Navy Blue

Blue Color Wall

Blue is a bright color. Matching it with another bright color like red, green, violet, or orange would be overkill. So, what colors should you choose for your carpet to match your blue color wall?

  • Teal
  • Aqua
  • Black
  • Off-White
  • Beige (Not highly recommended)

Green Color Wall

Green is the same as blue, brighter. So, you need to put other warm colors to perfectly match your carpets with your green color walls. Although the options to fit carpets with the color green are limited.
