What Color Carpet With Purple Walls?

Purple Palette

• Using purple as the color to coordinate, create a purple color palette. Use the palette to make color choices for the design elements of an entire room. Let your distinct sensibility guide your choice of palette and carpet colors. Hues, such as grey and lavender, provide muted carpet color tones in a traditional or a more conservative room. For dramatic flair, deep red, orange, yellow and black offer contrast to purple walls.

Wall-to-Wall Carpet

• Wall-to-wall carpet can open up a room or dramatically contrast with purple walls. Either style statement is acceptable depending on your taste. If you want to keep attention on the walls, select beige carpeting. Grey wall-to-wall carpet will add richness to your room. The silvery carpet color and the purple on the walls will pick up subtle hues from each other. White wall-to-wall carpeting against purple of walls of any shade is a clean and vivid complement.

Area Rug

• An area rug gives you an opportunity to layer carpet colors or to coordinate with flooring. Use an area rug to make an elegant or a striking design statement. Lay an area rug with bright yellow tones on a concrete loft floor or on black wall-to-wall carpet. Pick up lavender tones from the walls with a violet area rug on white wall-to-wall carpet or on light-colored flooring.

Coordinating Design Options

• Once you choose a carpet color to accent your purple walls, add coordinating design components to the room. Match throw pillows to the walls and the carpet. Keep room décor simple, avoiding clutter. Black or white lamp shades coordinating with furniture can do purple walls and carpet colors justice.
