Choosing Carpet Colour

Colour is one of the most important factors to consider when decorating a new home or renovating.

Colour impacts the mood, feeling and personality of a room. Colour can help enhance the appearance of a room’s size, allowing you to make the most of natural and artificial light. 

Think About the Room Size

No matter how big or small the area, the colour of the floor will have a major impact on the feeling of space within the room. If the area is small or lacks natural light, a lighter shade of carpet will make it appear larger and brighter.

Conversely, darker-hued carpets will warm a room, giving larger spaces a cosiness while adding depth and character.

How Will You Use the Room?

Considering how each room is going to be used is important when selecting your carpet. In homes with energetic families, a hard-wearing carpet in a darker tone is a great option. Patterned carpets are especially effective at hiding stains and soiling. For those who like to entertain, a loop pile carpet in mid-tone works well. For a low-traffic home, you may opt for a plush pile carpet in a lighter shade.

Set the Mood

The colour palette you choose will influence the feeling, light and space in each room. Room colour can affect people in many ways, influencing your mood and energy. Cool colours are considered calming and serene; they are often recommended for bedrooms. In halls, entries and small spaces, warm colours can feel expansive and welcoming.
