Question

Accepted Answer

Deciding how much contrast to have between carpet and walls comes down to the atmosphere desired. High contrast creates a bold, contemporary statement; medium contrast gives a balanced, adaptable backdrop; low contrast produces a calm, cohesive feel and can make a room appear larger. Consider room size, ceiling height and the amount and quality of natural and artificial light, as these change how colours read. Test physical colour samples in the room at different times of day and alongside skirtings and major furniture before deciding. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed. For current colour options and samples contact the Taren Point showroom on 02 9526 6421.
