Dark Gray

Can earth tones go with dark gray carpet?

I had been planning to redo my living room with dark chocolate furniture and burgandy accents and had everything picked out including paint. Then we had to move suddenly and the carpet in the new house is a dark gray with purplish undertones in certain light. Can a brown couch work with gray carpet? I’m not sure my original plans will look right, and I’m having trouble coming up with a new plan. We can’t have black (cats) or white (toddler) and neither of us like the idea of red furniture. We’ve had blue the last ten years, which prompted my original desire for change. In a few years, I plan to go back to a nice neutral beige carpet, but if I get new carpet now, I won’t be able to afford furniture. Suggestions? Thanks!

The color would ABSOLUTELY do well with earthtones. Gray and purple are BOTH “earth” tones!! If you’re really just not liking the carpet, you may want to invest in a nice neutral beige area rug. That way the purplish gray carpet is not completely gone, but kept to a minimum. Buying an area rug is definitely more cost effective than replacing all of the carpet in the house.

Just a quick thought: Do you know what lies beneath the carpet? If it’s an older home, it may have hardwood. You may want to invest the time in pulling up the carpet. This may not be the case, but it’s worth mentioning, and may even be worth seeing!
