Have you ever walked into a room and felt like you stepped into a time machine and transported to the 80s? Well, that’s exactly how I felt when I walked into my cousin’s apartment last week.

She recently painted her walls a turquoise color and was looking for advice on what color carpet to choose.

And that’s when it hit me – why not write a blog post about it?!.

So, without further ado, let’s dive into the world of carpet and wall color coordination!.

The Science Behind Color Coordination

When it comes to picking the perfect carpet color for your turquoise walls, there’s a bit of science involved.

Color coordination is all about creating balance and harmony in a room.

The first thing you need to consider is the undertones of the wall color.

Is your turquoise leaning more towards blue or green? Knowing this will help you choose a carpet color that complements it.

Complementary Colors

One option is to choose a carpet color that is the direct opposite of your wall color on the color wheel.

This creates a high-contrast, complementary look.

For turquoise with blue undertones, consider a carpet in a warm, peachy hue.

For turquoise with green undertones, opt for a carpet in a rusty orange shade.

Neutral Colors

Another option is to play it safe and go for a neutral carpet color, such as beige or grey.

This will allow the turquoise walls to be the standout feature in the room, while still creating a cohesive look.

And remember, when in doubt, a neutral carpet is always a solid choice!.

Experiment with Patterns

If you’re feeling daring, why not experiment with a patterned carpet? A carpet with a geometric or floral design can add interest to the room, while still complementing the turquoise walls.

Just make sure to choose a carpet with colors that complement the wall color to avoid a clash of patterns.

My Personal Experience

Personally, I love a good pop of color in my home and I have to say, turquoise and yellow make for one heck of a combo.

I once paired a yellow carpet with my turquoise walls and it was a total game-changer.

The bold contrast made for a fun and playful vibe in the room, but still felt balanced and cohesive.
