Living Room Ideas

Hardwood flooring is beautiful but isn’t exactly warm and cozy. While you could lay down a large area rug, it only does so much. Instead, isn’t it time you consider a carpet design? Laying down carpet in your living room will create a soft surface to walk, sit, and hang out on.

These living room carpet ideas will help you figure out which carpet color is perfect for your living room. Perhaps you want to stick with a safe neutral, or maybe you prefer a modern grey or a bold blue. You could also be brave enough to choose white for your carpet.

1. Blue

Are you ready to make a bold statement with your living room? Then choose a blue carpet. You’ll find several options in vibrant colors that are perfect for giving your living room a unique look. Try using a dark navy or royal blue carpet that’s paired with light cream or white furniture.

Light blue, teal, or turquoise carpeting can also look beautiful in your living room. These colors pair well with several other colors. This lets you decorate and redecorate your living room throughout the years. You can also adapt the blue carpeting to match your interior decor style.

 

2. Brown

Brown tends to get forgotten when talking about living room flooring ideas. It’s dark and lacks the panache that other trendier colors have. But this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider using brown for your living room carpet.

Choose a rich chocolaty brown. Then pair it with lighter and bright colors in the rest of the room. This will keep your living room from looking too dark and dingy. Don’t be afraid to pair your brown rug with brass, copper, and gold accents. You can also make black and brown look good together.

 

3. Color

Just like choosing paint, the color you choose for your carpet can make or break your living room. Unlike an oriental rug that has many colors, your carpet is more like a modern rug with minimal coloring.

This gives you more options when choosing your living room decor because you aren’t tied to picking up accent colors from the rug.

A bold color can make a statement, but what happens when you grow tired of that statement. Neutral colors have a broader appeal and are easier to match. However, neutrals can be viewed as boring.

 

4. Grey

Modern interior design trends have embraced the color grey for everything, so it should be no surprise that this color has made its way to the carpet.

Cover your living room flooring with gray carpet for a modern feel. If you also have a grey sofa, it should be a different shade of grey to prevent the space from looking dull.

Stick with a soft carpet that has a deep pile. Berber and low pile carpet can look industrial. You don’t want your carpet flooring to look and feel like you’re at the office.

You can also pick lighter shades of grey that would be avoided in office situations. The light grey can emulate white while being easier to maintain than pure white.

 

5. Neutral

Walk into any modern builder home, and you’ll see beige walls and beige carpet throughout the dining room, family room, and bedrooms.

There’s a strategic reason for this. Neutrals have abroad appeal, making the homes easier to sell. Consider using this tactic if you plan to sell your home soon.

If you’re afraid of your beige, tan, or cream carpet adding to the plainness, spice up the living room with accents of color. You could arrange brightly colored throw pillows on your sofa. Or hang colorful art on the walls.

 

6. Rustic

Carpet and the rustic look don’t typically go together. You’re more likely to see wood flooring with a jute rug spread out on it. You can mimic this look by choosing a traditional area rug and laying it over your neutral carpet.

This works well with modern carpet trends that advise layering multiple rugs in a single room. To try out this living room idea in your home, start with a living room carpet that’s neutral.

Then place a large rectangle or square area rug down to cover the majority of the floor. A smaller round rug on top of that one will go under your coffee table to complete the layered look.

 

7. White

An all-white living room design calls for a white carpet. If you don’t have children or pets, then you could consider this carpet color. However, be very careful about committing to pure white. It’s going to be hard to maintain and keep clean.

If you aren’t ready to commit to wall-to-wall white carpet covering your floor, consider a white rug.

This will give you the look and feel of carpet on your wood floor. You’ll also have the ability to pick it up and clean or replace it should it need it.

Choosing white gives you more freedom when selecting your furniture. The clean combination of a white carpet and your hardwood floor creates a neutral base and a balance of light and dark that allows for bolder interior design choices with your furniture and decor.

Living Room Carpet FAQs

What type of carpet is best for the living room?

The most practical carpet material for your living room is polypropylene. It’s a manmade material that’s durable, easy to clean, and stain-resistant. If you’d prefer to have a natural material, then consider wool. It’s durable, very soft, has a beautiful appearance, and naturally hides stains.

Should I put carpet in my living room?

Having carpet in your living room is an easy way to make it feel cozy. You’ll want to take your shoes off and relax in this room, and the carpet helps you do that. The carpet also dampens sound and eliminates echo. This makes it more enjoyable to watch TV and movies.

What should I look for when buying a carpet?

The first thing you should do is consider your budget. This will help you narrow down your options. Then look at the weight of the fabric and the style of the carpet. Berber has a short and dense fiber that makes it more durable. Lower-weight carpets have longer loops to give them a more plush feel and look.
