Looks gray to me why would you have thought it would be brown? I guess even more to the point why would you want either color in this space

Thanks for your reply. Since this is a bonus room over the garage a wood or laminate would have been too cold due to lack of insulation. We recently installed flooring in 2 bedrooms and went with a chestnut laminate. I thought it would be best at the bonus room have a similar color floor in the bonus room.

Also the swatch appeared to be brown.

Darken all trim to the rug colour and put a soft ash grey on the walls. A folded throw over the back of each chair would add some life. Drapery would achieve the same effect.

Thanks for a suggestion on how to make lemonade from lemons!

Don't think the carpet is going to help much in terms of insulation for the room.

Paint the walls to match the carpet.

Install walnut finish window blinds

Select an accent color for drapery panels to add color to the room.

Could have rendered a better image had you supplied a workable photo.

Thanks you for your suggestion. I've also contacted the installer for any possibilities of swapping the carpet out in favor of a chestnut laminate, which was my initial thought but thought it would be too cold for the room.

The laminate will be cold too.

There is no escaping the need to insulate in the ceiling of the room BELOW. You can have it blown or sprayed behind the drywall in most cases.

I think a taupe like Ben Moores Smokey Taupe might work. Be sure to grab a sample first.
