A picture would help, but I'll use my imagination. I'd suggest lighter gray of the 2 grays you have to choose from. Lighter color will still provide a nice contrast with the white dove paint and won't be too dark stealing the light from the room. It's not clear which area/room you're asking about, but I'd go with lighter. Though depends on many other things too, however, most of the times the rooms lack natural light due to windows being too small, etc. so choosing a lighter shade carpet would help reflect the incoming light vs. darker color absorbing the light.

I’m no colour expert, but I feel a stair carpet like your first pic is very neutral and won’t clash. Ive seen rooms that mix cream, grey and beige and they just look lovely. The dark staircase will add another dimension but still quite neutral. Your staircase is so beautiful it really doesn’t need too much of a change, Skimming Stone is a lovely grey/beige. I would get match pots of the colours you like, paint them on A4, or larger, card and try them in various places and see what you think, paint colours can really change depending on aspect and light. If you can get some carpet samples too you can create a mood board so you can really get an idea of the look. The pics below show how lovely grey, beige and black/grey/brown can look together. Not sure if this is your thing?

The great thing about having a neutral background like this is that you can put almost any colour you like. For my bathrooms, I kept all the fixtures neutral* and just added colour with towels and small items. I like strong colour, so I have sets in petrol blue, burnt orange and strong green (these also link back to the bedrooms). Depending on how large the painted wall is, you could leave it neutral (maybe with a picture?) or go wild with wallpaper. I would tend to go with chrome for the various fixtures, since that is what you already have. For colours, perhaps something to make it feel warm, since it is north facing. Coral -> orange -> red shades, perhaps? It depends how strong a contrast you like. The best way is to either make up some paint samples to see what works, or get a couple of small items and see how well they go. You won't easily get a wide range of shades for bins, etc, so maybe keep those neutral. And remember that the same colour can look very different when it is shiny than when it is matte. If in doubt about an item, keep it neutral! * I had a tile shortage in one room, and added a deep strip of contrasting tiles in petrol blue. For an emergency decision, this has worked really well.

Well, I have Cromarty in my living room (NE facing) and Oval Room Blue in the kitchen (SW facing so very sunny). I’ve teamed Cromarty with a red Persian rug and gold sofas and I really love it. It sits wonderfully with reds and terracotta (your rug!). The Oval Room is bolder and visitors always praise it so it must be nice 😊. I’m not mad on mixing wall colours in one room as it can be so hard to get right. I do love your gold walls in your previous home though.
