choosing bedroom carpet

8 years ago

Personally I hate carpet in my house as we both have bad allergies and I hate hoovering, haha.

However, to save money & time, we want to put one in the spare bedroom (I say spare but it could be the main bedroom as it's larger than ours) so I need to choose something fairly neutral but modern. We are selling the house next year so can't have anything too expensive.

I personally wanted to go for a silky pearl grey but the tones I love are top of the range (typical) and after taking some samples home, the cheaper ones he gave me actually looked better in our light. This is the one I was thinking of which is a pale gray and quite a deep pile. It's a warm silvery colour and not too drab http://cutpricecarpet.co.uk/rio-grande-cool-quartz.html

Do you think a colour like this is neutral enough rather than going for a beige or cream?? I plan to now decorated the bedroom in elegant silvers and greys with perhaps a pop of rich colour (deep blue or a cerise) with white walls.

thank you

Your photos didn't come out. Sisal carpets from Alternative flooring (or elsewhere) have less floating fibres.

I've had grey carpet throughout the house and it looks very modern and hides dirt and dust well, it's a good choice.

I wouldn't always opt for deep pile though, it's harder to hoover and keep clean / carpet wash as the dirt works its way into the deep fibres and are almost impossible to get out. Go for a thinner pile in the same carpet colour but a lux deep underlay, it will still feel like you have a deep pile carpet, but will be cheaper and much easier to clean.

Hi Carolina I have these floor tiles and a similar wall colour, and lots of art. My stair carpet is wool and called taupe. I think it works well. I think any of the 3 samples would look equally good. Darker will show every speck of lint though. I will now try and put a photo on. Forgive me if it doesn't work, for being a technophobe, and forgive me if it does for a messy house. I am going to clean today. Honest.

Bedroom flooring - wood or carpet?

Like minnie101 said, it is a personal preference, but either same wood flooring throughout with a rug, so you can wipe your feet or fully carpeted bedroom. Does your friend or his kids have any allergies or asthma? If so, good quality, natural wooden flooring will be better.

Hi, I love the paint and the bathroom. I think to make a connection between the two spaces is to add some blue accents in the bedroom. Something like this, maybe?

Thanks guys. I've just ordered a sample of a pale grey that's not too deep so hopefully it will be ok.
The room won't be used much so it's mainly for show and the odd guest we will have from now until we sell
