Carpet flooring colors & Hardwood: What pairs best?

Carpet flooring colors & Hardwood: What pairs best?


When remodeling, you don’t always have to choose the same floor covering for every room. In some cases, carpet might be best, while hardwood flooring is an excellent choice in other spaces.

For outstanding results, our clients prefer a wood staircase with a carpet stair runner in some homes. Here are some great ideas to pair these two for a perfect flooring experience in your home.

Carpet colors and stair runners


Since carpet is often used on stairs, it makes sense to start there when comparing color combinations. You'll enjoy impressive visuals and moods wherever they come together with a great match.

Earth tones and natural carpeting colors are perfect for light wood stain colors, especially when the runner is darker. With dark wood, neutral colors pair best, so look for pastels, greys, or beige tones that don't take away from the wood color.

Sometimes contrast is better


The fastest way to wash out a room with light wood floors is to use grey- or cream-colored rugs mistakenly. If you must use neutrals, let them be part of a bolder overall pattern that draws the eye and creates interest.

Contrast is also a reasonable choice for a dark wood floor covering since it’s harder to overwhelm them. Bright whites, creams, and avid jewel tones are perfect for a deep, rich brown.
