Decorating Tips for Rooms with Dark Brown Carpets

4 min read

Do you have brown carpets in all the rooms of your house - from the living room to the bedroom, the dining room, and even the hallways?  At first, it pleases your eyes, but if this brown flooring has been with you for several years, it is likely that you feel bored and cannot force yourself to appreciate it.  However, do not fret.  You can lose that heavy and dull look by matching it up with a good level of brightness. 

Before you begin redecorating, make sure that the rooms have a lot of natural lighting.  Natural light will counteract the dark elements of brown carpets.  The room will have a neutral appearance, making it warm, instead of a dark and depressing space. 

If the brown flooring in the rooms of your house does not coordinate with the existing furniture and decor elements, you do not have to replace your furniture for that carpet.  The perfect solution is to add some area rugs, and you will be surprised at how the whole scenario changes overall.  You can save some money by purchasing discount flooring at flooring suppliers like Burts Online, or some manufacturers. 

The area rugs to use with brown flooring should be patterned. For traditional decors, use floral patterns in warm colours, and geometric patterns for modern decor.  Patterned rugs as a no-no in bold-colored walls.  Remember that too many patterns in a single room will make the room appear too busy.  

If you are yet to buy furniture for your rooms, choose those with colour and style that pair well with your brown flooring.  The best pieces are those with strong design elements, not light in colour and shape.  Good colours for furniture are green, red, black, yellow, brown, and navy blue.  A bit of orange is also ideal for a retro ’70s look. 

For your wall design, apply wallpapers and wall coverings for traditional designs, while for modern ones, you can use rich, bright colours such as yellow, or wallpaper with simple strong geometric designs.   Use a paint colour that goes well with brown carpeting. 

You may also want to hang curtains and use textile that carry out the bold theme and rich colours that are similar in shade to your furnishings like throw pillows.  This will make the room feel more energetic or in the best mood. 

The colors that work well with dark brown flooring are as follows: 

*  Beige color in paint and curtain can keep the room looking bright and open.  You can put a brown coffee table and a grey armchair will provide a subtle contrast; and you may also include a striped area rug in your decor. 

*  Lavender and brown, together, give a fresh and cheerful vibe to a room.  This will give you a happy space that anyone would be attracted to.

*  Navy blue walls and dark brown flooring complement each other.  Add a bit of gold in your decor for a sense of warmth. 

*  Taupe colour in walls is also great with dark brown floors.

*  Tan will enhance your dark brown floor carpet.  The color gives a welcoming and relaxing effect to the room.
