What carpet to go in this room ( photos inc)

[MissCherryCakeyBun]

We are soon to start decorating a house from top to bottom before moving and I've been searching for carpet ideas to go in this room.
The original designer ( the style we are going for) has gone for grey but I'm worried about it being the wrong shade and also if it might look all a bit to much

We don't want a laminate floor and I'm more than happy to have rugs over carpet but I'm getting brain fog over what

Any suggestions very gratefully received

Ps as you can see it's also a corridor room so it can't be to pale

How about a striped carpet? We have one in the stairs that stops it being too blocky, would introduce some colour too

I think the grey works with a cream rug to break it up. A beige colour might work too, but I’d worry about it getting dirty and shaded with the wear.

You could go for a plaid carpet too, like this.

I've had stripes on stairs before and not to keen in living rooms, I hadn't thought of a beige colour but that is a possibility we have a medium beige colour in the current house and it's worn well as we are a slippers on family

Why don't you want wooden floors? You could have a huge rug over it.

You can usually order free samples of carpet because ime they always look completely different at home.

I have a disability that means I have balance issues and fall quite often so carpet makes for a softer landing should I hit my head, and rugs are okay as long as not where I might trip.

They look lovely but not always practical

Hmm...natural jute carpet?



If go for a light stone carpet, I think the dark grey walls and carpet is too much and will be too dark. Some is quite good at not showing dirty and marks.

Oh my gosh I should read before I post!
I'd not if, stone not some.
