Carpet

Your furniture, whether you already have it or are planning on purchasing it, will also play an important part in your color selection. If your furniture is dark, such as black leather, brown suede, dark oak or cherry wood, you will want to stick with a lighter color so your furniture will show up nicely. If you use a dark color carpet with dark furniture, it will be a wash. There will be no contrast. The reverse is true of lighter colored furniture. You would want to select a medium to dark colored carpet.

Decorating with Carpet can be simple once you know the basics. Do you want your carpet to be a subtle background, or the center of attention? This might be the first place to start. If it's a subtle background, then stay in the neutral color families, such as earth tones, beiges, gray, etc. If you want your carpet to stand out or make a statement, then it may be a striking color such as a deep hunter green or a rich burgundy.
