Having trouble picking the right color of carpet for your home? You’re not alone! Most homeowners only replace their carpet every 5-10 years so it’s no wonder this process can feel a little daunting. The good news is that CarpetNow has made it easier than ever with our curated selection. We only sell the top-selling colors and stay away from creating “paralysis by analysis” with too many color choices.

Here are 3 tips for making the best color choice for your room

1. Contrast is a good thing.

You do not want to “match” your new carpet to the wall color or other flooring in the home. You want to pick a carpet color that Coordinates with the home and shares the same color family.

2. Pick a theme: Warm, Cool, or Greige.

If you have warm walls, stick with earth-tone colors (beige, cream, etc). If you have cool or grey walls, stick with a cooler-colored carpet. If you want a carpet that can work with both cool walls and warm walls then check out greige colored carpets. Greige (or taupe in some cases) can be an excellent middle-of-the-road neutral color that works well in both warm and cool-colored homes.

3. Lighter & Darker Colors Pros/Cons:

The great thing about light colors is their ability to make the room feel larger. The darker colors are great for hiding dirt and spill from kids.
