do these have to match?

4 years ago

The hallway splits up these two bedrooms. Can I have the carpeting not match regarding the stripes?The one in the left has a little hallway. The other is just going into the bedroom. Thanks.

    Personally, I would be ok with it. I'm sure some would prefer to see them match, including the stripe positioning so that it looks continuous. But I'm guessing the number of times you would be seeing them from this particular vantage point are few and far between.

    And can I just say how much I love your carpet choice?? It's neutral and yet still interesting. I appreciate that it's not some bland solid beige, gray or brown. Quite snazzy.

    Are you thinking of wall to wall carpeting in the hall, where it’s tile now?

    I don’t think I’d do the same stripe in the hall because one room stripe is vertical but the other is horizontal. Since the hall walls look kind of darkish, I suggest a solid carpet in the same color as the lightest stripe.

    Ah, I had not thought the OP was contemplating changing the tile. In that case a solid, coordinating color would likely be the best solution.

    Are you making a runner?

    I'm confused about what you are asking? Are you covering the hallway tile with carpet and want to know if it is okay that it will not be the same carpet as the bedrooms? Or, are you asking if it is ok that these bedrooms are close together yet the stripe is going in two different directions?


    I think it is fine that they are in two different directions. And, if you are looking for carpeting for the hallway, I would pick a solid color with texture that is similar to the lightest color in the rug.

    This isn’t my home. It is the model. I am building my home. The hallway is tile. Each bedroom is opposite the other with the tiled hallway in between the rooms. I am wondering if it is okay to have the carpeting running in opposite directions. Is it okay?

    I don't like it. I also think a bold stripe like that is a very risky choice for permanently installed wall to wall carpeting.

    Thats a high traffic area, I would spend the money to have tile there if it fits with a adjacent floor. Add a runner for color and softness. Carpet will look flat in no time.

    Since you're starting from scratch, you can make sure to have the stripes line up if it bothers you. You'll be picking your own materials, right? Is that striped carpet something they offer to install?

    Oh! This isn’t your house? Then definitely don’t purposely install striped carpet in different directions.

    I thought the picture was of your house and I didn’t want to be rude and say, ”WTH were you thinking?” LOL
