The debate rages on! Should you go for a darker-coloured carpet or a lighter coloured carpet for your home?
Darker colours tend to offer a more relaxed vibe to the room and are normally a great option for living rooms and bedrooms. Lighter colours, on the other hand, make rooms feel larger and are often easier to coordinate with furniture colours
Pros and cons of dark carpet:
- Best for areas with a lot of foot traffic
- More eye-catching
- Doesn’t fade as quickly
- Hides dirt and stains better (especially if you’ve got kids and animals!)
- May leave patches where carpet has been cleaned
- Makes a room feel smaller
- Shows more dust and other light coloured particles
Pros and cons of lighter carpet:
- Makes it easier to compliment furniture and other items
- Makes a room feel more open
- Reflects more sunlight and gives the room a brighter feel
- Shows more stains than darker carpet
- Rooms with too much sunlight may make the room too bright
