Choosing the right color can get tricky if you are in it for the long run. Just like any other flooring material, carpets come in a wide range of colors, textures, and fabrics. It is worth knowing a thing or two about how they look and feel in your room before making an informed purchase.

We at Al Nibras love to simplify your search and finalize your carpet choice as quickly as possible. If you are in search of carpets, curtains, rugs, or any other window treatment in Dubai, it’s definitely worth checking out our assorted collection to get informed about the huge variety of options you could go for.

Neutral colors

Neutral colors may not come as an obvious first choice for rooms as they are, well, neutral. But in practice, bright-colored floors require furnishing that contrasts them to make the room look good.

• Neutral colored carpets are ideal for rooms with a larger floor area and prone to spillage, especially in kids’ rooms.
• Repairing a patch of neutral-colored carpet is easy and does not invite any attention to the new patch. This is not the case for bright-colored carpets though.
• Neutral colors augment whatever furniture you have in your room. It also allows you to showcase your furniture and focus everyone’s gaze on the floor.
• Carpets are meant to stay longer and look good even with more furniture addition. This is precisely why neutral carpets are preferred over bright ones.

It is always best to consult with your carpet seller to get a better idea on what fits best for you. At Al Nibras, we make it a point to ask the feel our customer needs, the existing furniture, and the purpose of the room. If needed, we also recommend a combination of curtains, blinds, and other suitable window treatments to elevate the room’s feel to the one our customer desires. 

Patterned carpets

If you are not the neutral color type, there is always a patterned carpet option, which could impart a sense of depth and sophistication to your room. Also called loop cut loop carpets, they come in popular styles like tartans, plaids, etc.

• More than just the pattern, this type of carpet provides a comfortable texture that’s soft on your feet.
• Rooms get an aesthetic higher ground with patterned floors as it now looks filled with patterns that suit your room’s color theme.
• Patterned carpets are an affordable choice for creating a sophisticated feel in small rooms.

Pale and striped carpets

Pale colors and striped carpets are the next best option for rooms if you are keen on presenting your room in tune with your furniture choices. Rather than being greyish or neutral, pale colors have several key benefits too:

• Pale colors actually brighten up small rooms, making them look bigger, and also creating a lighter environment within the room.
• Striped carpets are best to create the illusion of space, linear stripes being especially good in lengthening rooms along the direction of the stripes.
• Pale colors can create the right contrast for furniture, giving a unique character to the space within.

Bold colors

Bright and dark colors are both bold when considering all the other color types for carpets. Although they cannot be used on all occasions, they are perfect for well-designed rooms.

• Bright-colored carpets lighten up rooms and also act as a focus for any furniture which the carpet may provide a contrast.
• Dark colors are perfect for floors prone to having stains, especially kids’ rooms, and other play areas, but note that they do magnify any dust in them, so it requires brooming once in a while.
• If your furniture is all neutral or pale-colored, it’s best to go for bright carpets to elevate the room’s feel to a higher level.
• Deep colored carpets also creates a sense of coziness, while also being perfect for rooms with higher traffic.

Summing Up

Although color and texture are two main guides to get to your perfect carpet, there is a lot more at play if you think about it. More than just aesthetic or ergonomic comfort, carpets and wall paints actually take up most of the viewing space within rooms. This means, unknowingly, those are the colors you are going to see the most.
