Help choosing carpet?

[Ollivander84]

I'm going colour crazy
So my options are in the photo, ignore the circle but it's that grey or one of the 3 beiges
Shown is the original carpet, and the kitchen floor as it is open plan
Also added a photo of the room, walls are dulux polished pebble. Ignore the mess!

Whatever you pick go a shade lighter than you want it to look. We're doing carpets at the moment too, I picked a very pale one for our bedroom, it went down today and looks great, and also looks a bit darker than you would think from the sample. I put the sample on it and it's exact.
We picked a nice pale grey for the living room. We ordered a lot of free samples online before buying.

Thanks, I'm so torn what colour!!! Have messaged asking if there's a lighter grey 🤔

Currently I have the same carpet throughout the entire place (except kitchen as shown) but due to firework damage the living room needs replacing and the original carpet isn't made any more

The dark grey is too office-y. The lightest beige is the nicest.

We are picking carpet at the moment too and it's so hard. Then you hardly notice it when it's down.

I've asked him about a lighter grey? Thinking that could work

I like the lighter beige one on the right of your pic. We have polished pebble on our walls and chose a light grey/blue toning carpet and it's all a bit cold and bleurgh. A warmer toned carpet like the one on the right of your pic would work better and add some contrast, imo.

Agree with Cabbage the dark grey one is too officey.

From bitter experience if you go TOO dark then you think it would hide a lot of specks and fluff and it bloody well doesn't! I would be looking for a shade lighter grey than the one you're looking at - we have one about the right shade in our bedroom with a speckled effect (like 3 shades of grey speckled through) and it works really nicely with blue-toned very pale grey walls.

I agree with PP; dark carpets show every mark; light ones are better for looking clean and obvs for light reflection.
