Grey is considered a “neutral” color that can be paired with a variety of colors without being overwhelming. Grey carpets are also a popular choice for house decoration because of their versatility and ability to seamlessly integrate into a range of room styles, as well as being more stain resistant than light colored carpets.

From silvery shades to darker hues, grey carpets are typically used in two ways — as a stand-alone palette or to create a neutral canvas for the addition of cool or warm colour accents in walls, furniture, and accessories.

But what are the benefits of grey carpet? And what are the colours that go with grey carpets?

If you feel that too much orange is too lively, you can lay the whole room in classic black, white and grey as the base color, with appropriate light wood and light grey to neutralize the orange.

Cool tones create an elegant look, while fiery reds such as tomato red evoke energy, excitement and passion.
