Here are the samples, although the camera doesn't really show the colour in it's true form. First up, Ball & Twine. And this is Warm Bisque. It was nice, but too cool for me. And this is Sisal, the wrong colour I bought by accident. I love the colour though, just not here. I am a little concerned that the Ball & Twine was throwing some green (although I love green), but I really love it in the rest of the house. We have those late 1990’s terracotta coloured tiles in the back room to consider as well. that room will have a terracotta, stone, charcoal look, I think, when we are done. Anyway, comments on the samples?

Hello, I would recommend these sofas from our current collection. They would all be good neutrals that don’t fight the darker carpet, and can be styled up by cushions. Also, we can scotchguard for you to make sure they don’t stain! We also have a 10% discount for our Houzz customers at the moment- use the code CQ4W1D4140.

I'd avoid a light overall colour - we inherited a fairly new pure wool in a light beige and it's a nightmare to keep looking good. I'd give anything for my old house's slightly mottled berber, but I'm not sure that would suit the style of your house/room. I'd go for something that you like and which would go well with the type and colours of your bed linen. Don't go too dark either - I also lived with dark grey in a bedroom and it showed every minute light fluff from clothing (not to mention the white underbelly fur of the cat we acquired.)

Is it possible that there are floorboards under the carpet that can be polished? This would be ideal. Otherwise, as much as I love my bedroom floorboards, I think you should stick with carpet. You’ll never match the hallway exactly so it will always look a bit odd.
