If you want a strong color for the carpet, then the color options for the walls will be limited. However, light or muted tones: such as pale blues, greys, or greens, allow for more versatility in wall color.<\/p><p>Another step to consider is that you should pick a color from your furniture or draperies. If you choose a darker shade of that hue, then the room will feel more comfortable. If you choose a lighter shade, then the room will feel more open. If the room faces west or south, a warm color will make the room feel hotter. A cool color will make the room feel more refreshing and relaxing.<\/p><p>For more impact, you could choose a patterned carpet. A floral pattern can be formal or informal, depending on what the design is. Patterned carpet is a great choice if you have children or pets. The colors and patterns will hide any spills or stains.<\/p><p>If picking a color or a pattern is not for you, then choosing a neutral carpet is the way to go. Neutral carpets make a room feel more spacious, and your focus will be the room\u2019s furnishings more. Neutrals that have specks of dark brown or taupe will hide dirt, and they also work well in high traffic areas. Whether you choose a color, a pattern, or a neutral, just be creative and have fun decorating your home.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/carpet\/residential-pcid-66.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to see our collection of carpet.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/uht.ebb.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/blog-neutral.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1143 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/uht.ebb.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/blog-neutral-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"blog neutral\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/blog-neutral-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/blog-neutral-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/blog-neutral.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/a><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first step in picking a color for your carpet is to decide how much of an impact&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1925,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[103,203],"class_list":["post-1141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-carpet","tag-cheap-carpet","tag-cheap-flooring"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1925"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1141"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2201,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1141\/revisions\/2201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carpetexpress.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
