Consider the Room Design When Selecting Color “When choosing a carpet, color is the most important element to get right,” Isaac-Cole says. “It needs to link to the rest of the palette as well as complement the other textural elements in the room. Think about your wall color and finish, window treatments, furniture style, even bedding.” Consider what the focal point of the room is and look for a carpet that complements it rather than overpowers it. You should also consider the feel you want to create. “Ask yourself, ‘How soft or layered do I want the texture and pile of the carpet to be? How do I want it to feel underfoot when I step out of bed?’ ” Isaac-Cole says. “For versatility, the best carpet shades for most schemes are charcoal, taupe and sand,” Roussos says. And if you have children and pets dashing in and out of your bedroom on a regular basis? “Midtones are the safest choice, as they will disguise dust and stains.”

Create a cozy corner. If your bed is tucked into a corner, why not add two headboards rather than one? And if you want your nook to be extra snug, choose velvet to cover them, as shown here. The two headboards turned this unassuming bed into a delightful daybed, which could be the perfect spot for curling up with a book.
