I would love to try some color in my carpets around the house but I have dogs and in addition to vacuuming my carpets I have my carpets steamed cleaned about once a month. Would the steam cleaning make the color fade in the carpet?

I would start with determining if the coral/pink carpet is a muted or toned down color or is it vibrant and bold? Is there good natural light from a window or windows? Is the room large and can it handle bold contract? Are the doors wood or dark tones? Are you trying to achieve a teen look or a more polished young adult look? I personally would lean toward the taupe/gray with a warm undertone. I love that combination! However, the possibilities are endless. If you want contract, go with a lively celedon green or an apple green with white trim or accent colors for a clean, crisp look. The only colors I would steer clear of would be jewel tones of purples and teals. They will make the room more juvenile as there will be too many strong colors competing with each other. The tone or value of the paint color is critical. What are the colors in the bedding, art, furniture and furnishings in the room? Try some warm chocolate browns, buckskin tan or slate grays. I would go to your paint store, get samples, take samples home and hang them in the room and live with them for a day or two. Once you decide on a color, buy a small can and paint a 2×2″ area on the wall before you proceed. Let me know what you do, I would love to know how this turns out!

Beige goes along with just about any color that’s why it would be a good choice for the color of carpets. It looks really professional so it is also ideal for office designs. I also see beige as a color that is simple, versatile and natural.

I think a safe way to go would be to start looking for a carpet with just flecks of color and see how that complements your furniture.

Normally my wife and I are very boring with our taste, usually going with beige, brown or tan, but we recently found a carpet that has a lot of deep bright colors in it. At first we were questioning whether we should buy it but it really made a boring room look much brighter and set off the deep wood tones we have in our floors and furniture. Glad we got it.

@TryBPO:
I would go to the Shaw Carpet website, also check Royalty, Fabrica. They will have some great info. They have room scenes where you can change carpet colors. Magazines at the check out stand are a great place for current color inspiraiton.
@Payday Loans:
Carmel colored bamboo floors are very neutral but pulling to the warm tones, ie: honey, carmel, golden colors. You can put gray, green, or try to get close to the bamboo color if you like the more monolithic look. I would take home samples and live with them for a day or two to get your inspiration. Have fun with it!

Some property owners tend to decorate their houses or offices themselves without asking or researching for professional help. I really think that we should take into consideration whatever theme a our house or office will be.

I have a terrible eye for this kind of thing. I hired an interior decorator to take care of my office and she did a much better job than I could have myself. Any good recommendations on sites for color matching when it comes to carpet?
