Transform your space

What colour walls go with grey carpet? What colour carpet goes with green walls? We will cover it all, so you don’t have to worry.

Colourful carpets are an exciting addition and can transform any space and really make a strong style statement. The colour of your walls, however, is also hugely important when choosing a carpet.

It’s all about ambience

Joanna Ramsden, the Creative Director of Brockway Carpets, gave us her top tips for setting the mood with your new carpet:

Most colours can be made to work in any room, however, the key to choosing the right one is to ensure you know the desired mood of a room and select a colour that will enhance this. A bedroom, for instance, is often a room where a calming, tranquil feel is needed. A tonal scheme of cool-toned blues, mauves or greens is the best way to build this effect. In contrast, a living room is the thriving hub of a family home and often a space where we're aiming for character and vibrancy - bright colours can work very well here.

Creating the perfect combo

To create the perfect combination, select colours with the same undertone. For example, if you’re going to choose a cool tone over a warm one, be sure that both the carpet and walls are the same tone. This will make a vast difference and really bring the room together.

Colours that go with grey carpet

Grey is a fantastic modern choice, but as well as this, it also opens up to colourful variations. If you were to opt for a cool neutral colour for your carpet, such as white or grey, it would be best to go for cool-toned walls such as blue.

Does having a coloured carpet restrict me from being versatile?

First thing’s first, you need an adaptable undertone. For instance, a green carpet sits in the middle of the colour wheel and can easily complement both cool and warm pieces. Secondly, you could opt for a patterned carpet which contains contrasting tones, and this would create a versatile base for the room and give you the freedom to build on with multiple colours without creating any clashes.
