Decorating question for the ladies. Does your carpet match the curtains?

Answer 1

Match? No. Coordinate? Yes.

I would strongly recommend against trying to approximate the same color. In my opinion, that's overkill and you'll get sick of the room quickly.

Better to pick a color that coordinates instead. By that I mean either choose a different color in the same color family (e.g, tan with brown, slate blue with baby blue), or choose a complementary color that is different but doesn't clash (deep red with tan, sage green with brown, etc.). Try to match neutrals with neutrals, cool colors with like cool colors, and warms with warms. (Although mixing and matching when done correctly can be striking, if you are design-phobic or style-challenged, it's best not to try because a misstep can be ugly and expensive!)

Hope that helps. Good luck!
