Grey and beige are the top two carpet colours

A survey by home news and advice website House Digest asked 629 respondents what their favourite carpet colour is. The top two choices were grey and beige.

Just over a third (37%) of respondents said that they preferred grey carpets for their homes. One reason for this choice is that grey, unlike white or beige carpets, camouflages stains and dirt better, making them less visible. However, to preserve the life of a carpet, it’s still advisable to regularly clean it.

Grey carpets are available in a variety of shades from light to dark, with something to suit most décor styles.

Charcoal grey carpets make light coloured objects in a room stand out. Grey carpets go well in rooms where the carpet is surrounded by wood flooring.

The second choice in the survey was beige, with 27.34% of respondents naming it their favourite carpet colour. A deep pile beige carpet adds warmth and cosiness to a room. A woven pattern beige carpet goes well in a traditional style room. A light beige carpet makes a small space appear larger. Beige, like grey, is a neutral colour that complements most décor styles.

The third favourite colour of the survey respondents is dark brown, with nearly 15% choosing it. Though neutral colours are favoured by many, a significant minority of respondents (8.27%) love bright colours.

Carpets in North Wales and Chester are available in a wide range of colours. Whether neutral or brighter shades are preferred, there’s a carpet colour suitable for all tastes.
