Carpet Color Basics for Decorating Your Washington DC Home

Carpet can serve as the foundation of your room's decor, as carpet often covers the majority of surface area in a room. Therefore, selecting the right color carpet is an important component when decorating to achieve a desired effect in a room.

Color can be manipulated to create nearly any mood, effect, or décor. When choosing the color carpet for your Rockville, Richmond, or Manassas home, keep the following tips in mind:

  • Browse through home decorating magazines before carpet shopping.
  • Consider the colors of walls, furniture, and decorations in the room and how they work together.
  • Remember that carpet does not have to be uniform around the house; instead, aim for carpet choices to be complementary.
  • Choose light carpet colors to make a room seem larger and dark colors to make it cozy.
  • Opt for medium and darker colors, tweeds, and textured carpets if you're trying to disguise wear and tear in high traffic areas.
  • Create visual interest by blending colors or textures throughout the room, including the carpet.
  • Choose colors like red, yellow, and orange to warm up a room or blue or green to cool it down.
