What Colour Carpet Do You Suggest?

My daughter's room is bright pink.

What colour carpet do you suggest we get to complement the room?

A lot will depend on your attitude toward colour.

I am not a big fan of neutral colour carpet generally but you may feel that the room needs toning down a little if it is very colourful.

If that is the case, you may wish to consider a natural wood or laminate flooring as seen in the picture above. If you are concerned this may seem cold you can add rugs.

My own teenage daughter's bedroom has quite a lot of bright pink but this is teemed with black and white to give a more 'grown up' look. Her carpet is black which looks really good - as long as you don't mind getting the vacuum out on a very regular basis!

If you have any metal objects in the room - door furniture, light fittings etc. - silver or chrome is a much better option than gold and for that reason you may also like to consider grey. Not as harsh as black but quite a classy look which will also suit the room when the day comes when your daughter is finished with her pink phase and wants to redecorate.
