7 Delightful Carpet Colors for Gray Walls You’ll Love

Carpet Colors For Gray Walls

Choosing the right carpet colors for gray walls is a thing you can count on when trying to create a delightful interior design. In this case, you must know that for the best result, you cannot just pair the wall tone with any option from the shades (for the carpet) that can go well with grey.

Instead of doing so, we suggest you more to focus more on neutral options that seem more suitable to apply on the floor, which is none other but one of the most dominant home design elements. By doing so, the floor will not steal the attractiveness of the grey walls white while still being an excellent background for any other details and items you place in the interior.

Another thing that you must not forget to consider most is the shade of grey on the walls itself. There are two different options here: light and dark. Each of those needs a certain carpet flooring shade to create the delightful look you want.

To make it easier for you to choose, here, we will show you the list of 7 carpet colors depending on the grey wall tone. Each selection will come with pictures and explanations, so read further.

White Carpet Flooring for a Modern Boost in Interior with Light Grey Walls

As a starter, we will talk about the light grey wall color. There are some different carpet colors that you can use as its pair.

The first choice is white. White is a good match for your light grey wall, not only because it is a neutral tone that can go well with any colors without any difficulties.

When paired with grey walls, white carpet flooring can give a modern boost to the interior. That is why this option is suitable to pick when you want to modernize the house. A case like this can occur when you buy a home that already has grey walls, but the atmosphere is still more on the traditional side.

In this case, any shade of white is suitable for the carpet. However, you must know that choosing a different hue might result in a different feel too.

For example, the photo above shows a nursery room with very light and relaxing grey walls. The carpet of this room is in a cream white tone. The flooring’s subtle look creates a comfortable feel that is perfect for a sleeping place like this.

Here is another example that you can take a look to see that a different white carpet color can result in a different view. The flooring tone here is not pure white, but it does not have the yellowish undertone as the previous one.

If you look closely, it tends to have an off-white impression on it. Something like this can still become a good match for the light grey wall category, and it can give the relaxing visual too.

If you want something more on the crisp side, you can choose a clearer and purer white shade for the carpet.

For an easy option, you can pair the light grey walls with a grey carpet tone. If seen from the color combination point of view, any grey shade looks good together with a light grey tone. Although so, you must remember that we are talking about flooring here. Choosing it wrongly can affect the entire space.

Please imagine choosing a light grey carpet floor to match the light grey walls in your interior. Doing so will only create a monotonous appearance in a bad way. That is why we want to suggest you choose dark grey instead of the light one for the floor.

The contrasting view is the main reason why we give you the suggestion. Something like this can create a stronger contemporary feel in your house. Of course, it will be an excellent choice for you who like the style too.

Muted, Mature Blue Carpet for a Subtle View in Interior with Light Grey Walls

In the beginning, we did mention that most of the carpet color choices that you can match with grey walls come from the neutral category. This next option is an exception.

The light grey wall can be paired nicely with muted or mature blue carpet shades. The combination of the two tones can create a subtle visual that is pleasant to see.

If you want an example, the photo of a traditional living room is the one we found. As you can see, this space has a light, greige tone for the wall. As for the flooring, it has a spruce blue carpet with square patterns as detail.

The carpet of this room does not only provide the subtle feel that makes the place comfortable to use when gathering, chatting, or something else. It also gives a cool touch to balance the warm impression of the greige walls.

We love how the designer placed some other blue items in this living room. These things are not only a compatible match for the blue carpet flooring but also something to accentuate the interior.

Here is another interesting example we found. It shows a shared bedroom for kids.

This room’s wall tone is a light grey tone that gives a relaxing visual to provide better quality sleep. Like the match, there is Aegean blue carpet flooring that is just compatible to support the comfortable view in the room.

Besides the fact that both of the walls and carpet floors in this bedroom can create a calm sleeping environment, there is another benefit that we love from the combination. It is the fact that the combo is gender-neutral. You can count on it to create a delightful private chamber for your sons or daughters.

Warmer White Carpet Flooring for Your Medium Grey Walls

If you have medium grey walls that are not light or dark, the carpet flooring tone we suggest you pick is warm white. This option works for both cool and warm grey tone. No matter what your wall tone is, the carpet color will boost coziness in the interior.

Please take a look at the photo of the gorgeous transitional master bedroom above. The medium tone of the silk wallpaper is on the cool side. Other than that, it tends to look darker too.

The color of carpet flooring chosen by the designer as the match for the wall has a bone-white tone. As you can see, it has a warm look at it.

The thing that we want you to notice more from this interior design is the fact that the carpet flooring does not simply add a cozy touch to the room. It gives balance to the interior filled with cool tones from the walls and furniture pieces.

Now that we are done talking about the light grey walls, let us move to the dark ones. To start, we will let you know that an option of carpet flooring tone that you can pair with this wall tone is white.

Again, this ultimate neutral tone becomes the best choice here. However, we will not talk about how easy it is to pair both hues.

Here we want you to know that walls are one of the most dominant home interior elements other than the floor. It means that when your house is filled with the dark grey tone from the walls, there is a big chance for the place to look dark, even the natural light from outside can erase the dark feel.

In this case, the white tone of the carpet flooring can help. Choosing it can enhance the house’s brightness level, so you do not need to worry about gloomy look anymore.

Please look at the home office interior above. It has charcoal grey patterned wallpaper covering the walls and ivory carpet as the match.

The carpet choice here is just excellent. It adds brightness without overpowering the elegance shown by the luxurious-looking charcoal grey wallpaper.

Sleek or Comfortable Beige Carpet for the Dark Grey Walls

From so many color choices available, beige is one that we recommend you pair with the dark grey walls in your interior. This flooring tone is more than just about an enhancement of brightness and balance in your house.

Depending on the interior style you choose, you can create at least two different looks using the combination: comfortable and sleek. As proof, you can take a look at the home theater photo above.

This interior design brings out a simple and clean contemporary style. That is why the addition of the beige flooring in there tends to create sleekness.

Here is another design that we love, and that is why we want to share it with you here. It is a home office dominated mostly with the dark grey wall tone.

On the lower part, you can see that the room gets a beige carpet flooring too. While looking clean and sleek, it somehow adds comforts to space also.

Dark and Patterned Carpet Flooring for Reducing the Intensity

What if the option that you want to choose the most for the carpet has a dark tone like black or charcoal? Will it make the room with the dark grey walls looks even darker?

The fact you must know is that dark grey and black carpet can also look good to pair with dark grey walls. However, the all-dark visual can look too intense in this case.

Thankfully, there is a trick you can do to deal with that problem. It is by choosing carpet flooring that has light-colored patterns on it.

The photo above shows a really good example. The home theater does have not only dark grey walls but also a black floor. The combination of both can enhance the room’s function as a place to watch movies, in which the darker the wall and floor tones are, the better.

When the light is on, the visual can seems too intense. Thankfully, the black carpet flooring has white patterns as the details.

Although the portions of the white patterns are not too much, it still reduces the intensity of the dark theme in the home theater. At the same time, it can fill up the emptiness in the interior’s visual because of the lack of patterns in there.

Closing

Carpet flooring is always well-known because of the extra comfortable feeling it can create on our feet when we step on it. It is reasonable then if many people choose it for their houses. It gets even more specific because many also install it in the bedroom where the home’s most comfortable feeling should be in.

By choosing the right carpet colors for grey walls, you can even make everything better. The reason is that you will also get a pleasant view whenever you enter a room that has a combination in it.

From all the carpet color suggestions that we have shared above, we can conclude that only several tones will look nice and delightful as the carpet tone to pair with the grey wall color. The choices get even more limited because of the different shade of the wall, in which light grey walls get other carpet flooring options than the dark one.

By using the information above, it will be easier to know what your option will be. We do hope that this information will make the searching process easier to do.

As a closing, which carpet color that you love the most from all the options we have shared?
