50 shades of grey carpets

Sometimes it’s not totally clear which colour to pick when there are so many to choose from. Is this red rug too bold for my room? Or do I want something more subtle than blue? It can be hard to know sometimes. When you are unsure of how a certain colour may fit into a room, or when you just can’t find the “right” colour it’s really worth taking a look at grey.

Grey is a neutral colour which is neither too bold nor too subtle. Grey rugs are on the rise at the moment, particularly for those who love the Scandinavian style of rooms. Grey is a perfect colour for grounding contrast to many vivid colours such as orange, teal, red, and yellow. A neutral colour is especially good for those who plan on further decorating a room, or are planning on converting a room. Do you plan on painting your walls soon, or converting your spare bedroom? A grey carpet won’t clash with any colours you may have in the room. The neutrality of grey ensures that it will be a future-proof carpet which seems to sit perfect with almost any occasion or room.

Another thing to consider when looking at different colours of carpets is flooring. A wood floor for example is a great partner for grey. Both are very versatile and seem to go along with anything. A walnut wood flooring with a grey carpet really give that fresh Scandinavian feel. For the colder winter months, a grey sheepskin on your floor will give a warm and cosy atmosphere - perfect for those snow days!

Grey carpets also work well as a sort of backdrop, which allows the other colour and elements to shine out. The ability to hide itself in a room is a unique attribute of grey carpets. They seemingly seem to go with everything and everything seems to look good with it. So whether you have a bright electric pink desk, or a warm orange recliner chair your grey carpet will seem to go with it.

The popularity of grey carpets has been increasing over the years as more and more people look for more Scandinavian styled design. In Scandinavian interiors for example, grey carpets are used to magnify the limit natural light to combat those long, dark short days in the winter.
