Recently moved into a new build house and decided on a darker grey carpet. Now that we’re coming around to furnishing properly, I’m starting to regret it as it seems nothing really goes! Can anyone suggest what I can do to help bring the room together?
Dark carpet can work really well with a range of styles but it depends really on the overall look you want to achieve. It can work really well to create a moody design with darker colours and touches of luxe. Or can be balanced with other neutrals to create a more inviting warmer space.
At the moment the carpet has centre stage as there is nothing to counter balance it. A fabulous light fitting (perhaps glass), some tall bedside lamps and a big piece of art behind the bed will help redirect attention to other parts of the room.
Grey is a good base for many colours and you can easily enliven the space with a colourful wallpaper at the wall behind the bed, for example. And then choose curtains in one of the wallpaper colour hues.
Or, use bright bedding and a colourful picture on the wall, like here:
Some nice bedside lamps to create a mood. Then create the feel you want using soft furnishings. You could take a colour theme and then work around that. Throw pillows/cushions for the bed add a touch of luxury and you could match curtains. Some art prints for the wall behind the bed, perhaps one large piece? Have a look at my bedroom ideabook.

Hi Damian Liu, there are pieces you can add to make the room come together such as table lamps, a rug under the bed this can add texture, pattern and make the room feel cosy. You could opt for a statement style ceiling light to draw your eyes up when you walk in. Artwork would also look great along with styling the bed with cushions/throws etc and of course you could paint the walls at a later stage too.
