Grey carpet with magnolia walls

Grey carpet goes perfectly with magnolia walls. You’ve probably gone for magnolia walls as it is a warmer shade of white, while still being light enough to make a space look bright and open, so opt for a lighter grey carpet over a darker one.

Top tip: if you’re after a corridor carpet, go for a heathered effect carpet as these practical designs are hard-wearing and won’t show up every mark and bit of dirt!

Beige carpet with magnolia walls

They say beige is the new beige… and there’s a good reason why this timeless neutral hue is consistently one of our best-selling carpets! Beige carpets work perfectly with magnolia walls, whether you go for a full room, a corridor carpet or a carpet runner.

Top tip: if you’re putting your carpet in a heavy-traffic area such as a hallway, choose a polypropylene carpet as they can be cleaned with bleach solutions; they’re near enough bulletproof!

Neutral patterned carpets

Just because you have magnolia walls, doesn’t mean you can’t go for a statement-making patterned carpet. Patterned carpets and magnolia walls go hand-in-hand as they won’t fight with one another; the carpet can act as a focal point.

If the idea of a patterned carpet is a bit too much for you, then you could always add a carpet runner instead!

Colourful carpets

If you fancy introducing some colour into your home and want a nice contrast against your magnolia walls, then why not go for a coloured carpet?

From blush pinks to pastel-hued mint greens, all the way to vibrant reds or deep purples, you can make a sensational impression when your guests come for brunch! We personally thought that blue works very nicely with magnolia walls. What do you think?

Bold patterned carpets

Not one for the fainthearted – embrace the statement carpet to perfectly complement your magnolia walls! We say let your floor do the talking, but keep the rest of the décor simple and minimalist to avoid overkill.

Carpet runner ideas

Carpet runners are a great way to re-use leftover carpet. You can have it made up into a coordinating rug, a doormat or, if there is enough, have a runner made to go down your stairs.

Timeless and classic, stair runners look particularly beautiful with neutral décor, so your magnolia walls would be complemented in style and your home transformed.
