Try and think ahead. Carpeting is expensive. You may not always want Lilac, so a neutral color like grey, charcoal, or look at some of the carpetings that have multicolors in them, one that might have bits of lilac in it, along with other colors that you may fancy. Think of your accessories and try to blend it all together.
Good Luck!

That is a beautiful color for a bedroom, calm and soothing. Feminine but not frilly. I think gray or light tan would be best. Add an accent rug near the bed with a little lilac in it for a splash of color.

wooden floor looks nice with lilac, just throw a few cream rugs on the floor that are washable,
Blue grey or lilac carpet would avoid cream tho to hard to keep clean

If you can't go with hard wood floors and a cooridinating rug, then a natural green would be nice. Lilac flowers growing out of the green grass is a beautiful sight. Look to nature for inspiration.

My bedroom is also lavender! I chose a dove gray carpet with a lavender, blue base because cream or light carpet is too hard to keep clean. I didn't want lavender carpet because what if you want to repaint and go with a different color?

Well if your having a carpet then white or a cream would be perfect!!!
but why don't you get some paint and splash it all around the carpet so if you get any dirt on the carpet (because its bound to, coz it's white/creame) then it will camoflauge!!!

Burgandy(Browny Red but more Brown)
You could try lightish Pinky Brown. It doesn't sound nice but it can work.
The browns will contrast with the coolness of the lilac.

I think neutral colors like white, silver, gray, ivory and cream would look great. They make good backgrounds and unify diverse color palettes. Also they help to put the focus on other colors or serve to tone down colors that might otherwise be overpowering on their own. Good luck.

i think you would be better going with wood floors so that in the future you can change the colour and not have to worry about the carpet again!
