The medium grey. Unless with pendants / and enough features there's much contrast and a modern look. Generally, I think it's quite dark.

The lighter carpet looks best. The darker choice will show any type of white lint like crazy while the lighter carpet will hide both light and dark lint. I'm not wild about your wood floor color but if you like it then that is all that matters.

Hi, thanks for responding! Still to decide on wall colour - will do that last - and changing furniture but like linen slip cover look maybe in greys...bringing colour in with accessories and art. What would be a better wood colour do you think?!

I think a french oak, or wide plank aged white oak flooring would look really good with what you have. There are hundreds of styles and colors, but something along these lines.

Thanks! Will re-look at flooring, appreciate the comments

Consider please, running the wood flooring into the adjacent area. Much larger feel, and smoother flowing result in your home, if possible. You can always have an AREA rug made in the gray,. Agree on a less "yellow" floor selection as well. It needn't be gray toned, but a "browner" tone far better.

I would choose either of the lighter carpet colors. The flooring you show is very good. What is your counter material?

Thanks for comments! The entire living/dining/kitchen and sitting room will be a wooden floor (7.5 x 7metres) and the carpet begins where this floor ends at the hallway up to the bedrooms and bathroom. I will be using different floor rugs to this carpet sample. The counter sample is just for colour at this stage but will be a stone bench (probably not granite). Am having another look at flooring today so will post a pic then, thanks again!

I'm going for a crisp, airy feel so the wall paint will be (one of the million choices of) white.
