If you want to make your living room expressive, harmonious, cozy and complete, cover the floor with a carpet.

And to choose a floor covering that matches the color, listen to the advice of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino .

If you choose a plain carpet or rug with a discreet pattern, make sure that its color matches the shade of the upholstered furniture that is placed on or next to the carpet.

The color of the carpet can be the same as the upholstered furniture (a couple of shades lighter/darker), or contrasting - white furniture and a black carpet, and so on.

The second option is to choose the color of the carpet based on the color of the floor.

The same principle applies here: the carpet can either blend in with the floor, resulting in a borderless floor covering, or stand out in contrast to it.

The color of the walls can also serve as a guide in this matter. Choose a carpet of the same tone as the walls, a few shades darker or lighter, or repeat the pattern from the walls on the floor.

The same rules should be followed if you decide to choose a carpet that matches your curtains.
