There was a time when wall-to-wall carpets were considered the epitome of luxury. Times have changed since those days and today we experiment with various flooring materials, such as stone, wood, or ceramic tiles. However, the carpet has stood the test of time and still rules as the ultimate tool to add oomph to your bedroom decor.
It can be throw rugs, area rugs, or runners, carpets can give your decor an edge. But hey, they can just as well mess up your bedroom look if you get it wrong. Let’s check out the tips and tricks for getting it right.
Tip 1: Picking the right color
Color is the most important element in your interior design, be it your walls, upholstery, or carpet. Going by color trends won’t work as you need a shade you love. Remember, you have to sleep in the bedroom, not the trendsetters! However, some professional tips will help you make the right decision for your carpet. So, here goes:
-
Avoid bright and vibrant colors. These shades exude energy and vitality, something you want to avoid in a soothing bedroom.
-
Use calming neutrals, muted blues and greens for your carpet.
Tip 2: The dark tones
When you want a comfortable and cozy space, nothing beats the beauty of dark shades. These warm and inviting colors are the perfect alternative if neutrals are too tame for your taste. You can try green shades, navy, or burgundy carpets, depending on your bedroom color scheme. The professional’s tip? Here goes:
-
Pick a color that will appeal to the eye years down the line. Face it. You are not going to splurge on a new carpet if the indigo shade loses its appeal.
Tip 3: Take the patterned route
Patterns are utterly charming. And the best part is that the spills of coffee or red wine aren’t as noticeable as they mingle beautifully in the design. To get a clear picture think of wine stains on your beige rug! So, what patterns should you go for?
-
Floral motifs are your go-to pattern if you want to add a whiff of vintage vibe to your bedroom. You may want to give Kashmiri chain stitch rugs a try.
-
Bold patterns are great for a modern design.
-
For patterns, it’s always better to keep the rest of the elements such as the walls and the bed linen subdued so that they don’t clash with your carpet.

Tip 4: Stripes are timeless
For drama, stripes in bold colors are the perfect pick. However, muted tones are better as you won’t tire of them easily. Moreover, they can be moved around as they match easily with other colors. What do experts say?
-
Horizontal stripes will make the space look wider. Vertical stripes will accentuate length. Use this to your advantage when you are installing your carpet.
Tip 5: The neutrals
Trends may come and go, but neutrals are steadfast and rule the roost. These popular shades can be hues of beige, grey, muted pink, or green. What do designers advise?
-
Neutrals match most colors. They are ideal as a contrast to your wooden flooring.
-
These shades are the perfect balancing act when you want to add a subdued shade to your dark hues.
Tip 6: Try pastel shades
Much like the neutrals, pastel shades are a perfect match for most colors and you don’t tire of them easily. What are the other plus points of pastels?
-
If neutrals are not your cup of tea, pastel shades are a great alternative.
-
Muted blues are relaxing and mimic the sky, giving your space a relaxing vibe.
