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.
