10 Best Carpet Colors for White Walls
Light Gray Carpet
For you who want to create a simple and minimalist space, then light gray carpet can be the best option that you can consider. The combinations between light gray carpet and white walls can also bring a flawless look, which both elements look quite similar but still had enough contrast to distinguish them.
This carpet color can also be a great choice for a monochromatic modern interior style that is quite popular recently.
Another advantage of using a light gray carpet with white walls is both are bright and light colors that can make any room feel larger. The carpet had a very different character from other popular floorings such as tile or wooden flooring, where carpet doesn’t have any reflective or glossiness effects that can visually help make your space feel more spacious.
Thus, using a bright and light carpet such as light gray can be the best solution for a small room.
Cream Carpet
Another light carpet color that go best for any room with white walls is cream. This carpet can works well especially if you want to make your space feel a bit warmer and comfy, but still producing a flawless look between the carpet and the walls.
If you decide to use cream carpet, make sure that you are choosing the ones that still had enough contrast when used alongside white walls.
Choose a cream tone that is too similar to white can make them hard to distinguish, thus can make your entire space feel monotonous and flat.
Light Brown Carpet
If you want to bring more depth and richness to your space while still bring a bright and simple look, then light brown may be a perfect choice for you.
This shade still looks quite bright that can visually make the space feel spacious, but also had enough brown tone that can bring a beautiful earthy and rich tone to your entire space.
Medium Gray Carpet
Previously, we already listed light gray, but if you think that carpet is still quite indistinguishable from the white walls, then you can go with a darker tone of gray such as a medium gray.
Not only this shade can give a simple yet elegant look, but the medium gray carpet can also be a versatile base where you can explore and use any kind of colors for the furniture above it.
It can go well with a bright and cheerful choice such as a yellow or red sofa, but also still work wonders with a more soft and calm palette such as cream or beige.
Blue Carpet
Blue carpet has a unique characteristic, where this kind of carpet not only can make a room looks vibrant and cozy but also can produce an elegant and glamorous atmosphere, especially when used alongside white walls.
This color can be used in various interior design styles, from classic, contemporary modern, to the coastal farmhouse.
Another benefit of using the blue carpet is that this kind of carpet is quite neutral and versatile as it can easily blend with any furniture colors.
Dark Brown Carpet
Actually, it’s quite difficult to use a dark brown carpet, as this kind of carpet won’t go well with most wall paint colors, except white. So, if you are currently had white walls, then this is a great opportunity to use a dark brown carpet that can produce a modern and luxurious look to your entire space.
As a strong earthy tone, dark brown can make any room feels warmer and welcoming. And that’s why we love to use this brown carpet in the living room.
But one important note before you go buy this kind of carpet, please make sure that your room had enough light sources to avoid this carpet make the entire space look dark and gloomy.
Navy Blue Carpet
Navy blue can also be a great alternative if you want to create an elegant room. The navy carpet has a bold and strong impression, but it can balance up nicely with the white walls.
We often choose this carpet if we are planning to use some bright, light, or natural finishes furniture such as a white couch, cream sofa, or white bed platform. This carpet color can work perfectly to highlight those kinds of furniture and make them stand out perfectly.
Green Carpet
Actually, any green shade is quite unpopular when it comes to carpet. Most homeowners tend to use this color in other elements rather than carpet. But in fact, green carpet can still be used with quite fascinating results, especially when used alongside a plain white wall.
Like any other green elements, a green carpet can make any space feel fresh and natural. However, using this carpet can bring another challenge for your interior design projects: choosing furniture colors.
It’s quite difficult to find a perfect furniture color that can go well with a green carpet.
Black and White Carpet
Using a carpet with the exact same colors as the walls is a big no. Except, if it’s combined with other colors, such as the black and white pattern carpet that we use in the image above.
This can be an ideal concept to create a seamlessly integrated room while the black pattern can bring an elegant contrast to avoid boring and monotonous looks.
Black Carpet
If you are a risk-taker, then you can try using a black carpet, and the results can be very rewarding. A combination of black carpet with white walls can create full contrast effects that visually make the entire space look very modern and elegant.
But as we already said before, avoid using this kind of dark carpet in a small-sized room. And please make sure that particular room had sufficient lighting source (a natural and artificial one) to avoid the space look gloomy.
