Carpet colour advice needed please

Brian Fitzpatrick

My dad has just painted Dulux Tranquil Dawn (pale green) and bought new grey sofas for a living room but can't decide what carpet would work best. Advice needed please. Carpet colour? Accessories/cushions? Thanks

Does the carpet need replacing? I think it looks fine, but if your dad wants a change I would go for a lighter grey or a pale taupe, maybe. . With cushions, you could try dusky pink or dusky lilac, or yellow or a mixture as below. Go to Pinterest for more ideas, there are thousands of images in there.

I have Tranqil Dawn on my walls in my lounge and grey sofas too and l have a mid grey carpet. My sofas are much lighter than your image so l would suggest a lighter grey.

I like the idea of gray - go to a paint store and find a chip that is the color of your sofa and then look at the grays - so many shades - find one that feels comfortable to you. For me, I would put down flooring and then use an area rug with lots of texture - even a natural sisal or the like.

Mid grey/charcoal colour would make the pink look very chic and modern. It is also a great colour (we have it in our house) as its light enough that it doesn't show every crumb etc and dark enough to get away with not having to vac every day!

That is true alright, though even with a patterned carpet they usually keep a mat for people to wipe their feet on by the door, or if people like to remove boots or shoes when entering ( not that common here) but great idea. The trouble with the patterned carpet was if anything fell on the floor you could hardly find it !!

If you are going to change the carpet I would go for a darker charcoal tone and would choose a mustardy tone for the pillows. That would bring a bit more contrast to your scheme since the sofa and the walls are so close to each other in the pallet.

Think the carpet looks fab actually and goes well with the wall and sofa. I would get a deep clean and then add rugs, cushions, throws and plants instead!
