Carpet Color/Tone Suggestions?

9 years ago

Hello - My entire first floor and upstairs hallway is painted SW Shagreen (very similar to BM Fernwood Green), the moulding/kitchen cabs are BM Simply White, and I have hardwood oakfloors that look like Minwax Golden Oak. I need to recarpet the stairs (an old pinky beige type carpet) and I need to get some runners and area rugs. I am having the worst time thinking about what would work with those colors. I am most concerned about something looking good next to the Shagreen wall color but then it also looking good against the golden oak floors.

I am considering sisal (inexpensive that could be replaced if it gets trashed), jute, and seagrass, Any thoughts of which of those, tone wise, might look best? I am mostly going for neutral or tone on tone color. Also, I would like some regular wool type carpeting color options. Any ideas? Ideally, I would do a fancy patterned natural fiber, but that is out of the budget. Other than a neutral, the only other color I can really see going is like a darker green (not a solid--like an oriental runner with a darker type green like the green in this).

Here are two pictures to give you an idea of my colors (please note nothing is "decorated" just off the floor and just

on existing picture hooks).
