How to Choose the Right Carpet Color

Carpeting has more of an impact on the home than you may think. In fact, the color and material you choose play a part in the function, livability, overall style, and resell value of your home. 

There are so many colors, materials, textures, and patterns to choose from—narrowing down the options may seem impossible at times. But with a little help from our pros for carpet cleaning in Waterford, Michigan, you can make a selection that you’re sure to love for years to come. 

Throughout our years in the business, we’ve seen it all—each type of carpeting, as well as the best methods for caring for them. So take it from us! Here are a few simple thoughts to consider when choosing your carpet. 

First Things First 

To begin, here is a tip that can actually apply to every element of your design. 

Start with the core elements of your design that have fewer color choices than carpet—like accent chairs, sofas, and other large furniture. Since you’ll have fewer options when it comes to these, it helps to get them out of the way first, then pair your carpet color to coordinate. Next, choose your wall paint color, then finishing touches like accent decor last. 

You Can’t Go Wrong With Neutral Colors 

It may sound simple, but there are actually several reasons why you may want to choose a neutral color for your carpet. 

For starters, extra bright or bold colors can feel very overwhelming in a room, and most homeowners tire of them quickly. It’s not cheap to replace carpet, so it’s wise financially to stick with a shade that’s more likely to transition and blend well as the years pass by. And you can still add pops of color! Just do so in less permanent ways that are easy to swap out—like wall paint and accent decor. 

Common carpet colors that work well in most spaces are earthly grays and beiges. You can still add variety with these with the texture, pattern, and weave you choose. 

Another one of our favorite features is to choose a carpet that has flecks of several neutrals instead of just one solid color. This is extremely functional, adds dimension, and better hides particles, dirt, and stains. 

Another consideration is to avoid carpet colors that are either too light or too dark, as each will highlight dust, hair, lint, and soiling. Stick to a medium shade instead.
