If you really want to decorate a room effectively with a carpet, you should consider choosing the right colour. This important decision will surely reflect on the overall feeling of the room. Anyway, I always recommend buying a carpet for your living room, because in colder climates a room with carpet feels warmer. The soft and tender touch of a good carpet can be very enjoyable. You can even walk barefoot or sleep down the fireplace.

Now, let's see the main point that you should follow in order to decorate your room in the best possible way:

  • First of all, you have to make a list of all the colours already presented in the room. Include all the furniture, walls, various fabrics and anything with significant colour that you might have. Be very specific about the linens and beddings, because they might have different colour coordination. You can write down two, three or even more options until you find the perfect contrast. Don't forget the walls, they have significant role in the whole decoration as well.
  • Make another list, where you should put all the possible colours for the carpet. Most professional designers suggest light brown or beige as a favourite colour for carpets. However, if you like any unusual colour for your carpet, don't be afraid and experiment. Sometimes the best ideas come from experiments and unusual styling. Let your imagination flow.
  • Another interesting point for your decision should be the type of room for carpeting and the lighting in it. It is important to observe the lighting in the room. Artificial lighting may alter the shade of the carpet colour in any dark room, especially if the lights are fluorescent. On the other hand, the natural light may harm dark colours of your carpet over time. If the sunlight goes directly on your rug, the damage can be severe. The best type of room to set up a carpet will be your living room.

However, your final decision will be made once you go to your local carpet supplier. Make sure to review all the possible options based on your favourite colour selection. Don't forget that you also need carpet made from good materials, so if you have find the right colour set, but you have any doubts about the quality of the stock, then you'd better pass or come with professional to help you. Most carpet cleaning experts in Kingston upon Thames will offer you a helping hand, so you can be sure in your purchase.
