It may sound like a strange idea to start with the floor color when choosing the color of the carpets, but the floor covers a very large area in the room and can affect how other colors added to the room are perceived.
Either you choose to have the floor color harmonize with the carpets, or you try to create a contrast between the floor color and the carpet. Choosing a carpet that harmonizes with the floor will most likely give a calm and cohesive impression.

We recommend keeping the room's color palette in mind, but focusing on choosing a rug that complements the color of the sofa. Either choose a rug where the color is the main focus or try to find a rug whose color stays within the same color scheme as the sofa but in a different shade, creating a sophisticated and calm feeling.
Consider the size of the room and the amount of natural light. Light rugs make the room feel larger and brighter, especially in smaller rooms with limited floor space. If you are choosing a rug for a larger, brighter room, a dark rug can create a sense of warmth and personality.
