One way of making a striped carpet look beautiful in a room is to choose one that has the same colors as the rest of the rooms. This way it will easily blend in and the pattern won’t even stand out that much. It doesn’t necessarily have to feature all the colors in the room but just the main ones or similar shades. You can also match it with some of your accent pieces in the room.

If you don’t want the carpet to blend in but rather to stand out in the room, then you should choose vivid and bold colors. They can also be colors that contrast with the rest of the room. For example, if the room is decorated with warm colors, the carpet can feature a combination of cold shades. If it’s decorated with neutrals then you can choose vibrant and dynamic colors for the carpet.

A Mediterranean feel.

Usually the staircase is a very important element in any home. So if you have one make sure you allow it to stand out. You can easily do that with a striped carpet. Vertical lines are more suited for a staircase than horizontal ones. The colors you choose can vary. For example, a wooden staircase could feature a carpet that has warm colors and earthy tones but if the wood has a light finish then brighter colors could look better.

Carpets in brown shades.
