Here you go Davey Boy. Heres what my music room looks like with it.

I had every room in a 3 storey 4/5 bed house to do from scratch and there was significant discount too be had for buying bulk and having the same throughout, and even with saving it bent me over for nearly 10 large. That being the case I went for the grey as a neutral colour thet would go with the colour scheme in any room.

If you want more pics for inspiration ill do some tomorrow innwaylight for you.

FOR SOME REASON I have graphite/grey carpet in mind.....very 'drastic' for me.
Has anyone else got similar ?
Anyone got thoughts on it ?
Thanks

I favor grey in the living room because it doesn't show the muck so badly when you service your bike on it.

That looks nice.
Has it got some flecks/speckles (whatever they're called) in it ?

Yes bud, its dark grey with light grey speckles. Its a quality carpet, but at the less expensive end of the quality spectrum. It's supposed to wear really well.

I think Grey has had its day. It’s everywhere.

Not a big fan of carpet we only have it in the stairs, rest of the house is wooden floors and rugs.

You could paint the floorboards and put a rug down

I have wood in the conservatory, bathroom and enclosed porch. I fitted it all and like it. I wondered having it for the lounge but am going for carpet.

Just so long as you keep the blinds closed!

Then the woman across the road won't be happy.

Do they interfere with the action?

Lounge and some of the bedrooms in Tomo towers are the similar, a slightly lighter grey but speckled.
Neutral enough to blend in with anything.

What's you current colour scheme?

We had a Wilton, for many years in colour "A". We really liked it, but after about 20 years, it began to wear, so we replaced it. So when we changed it, we felt we had to go for a different colour, so we chose colour "B". Although we do like the new colour, we remember fondly the old colour "A" and when we change again, will probably go back to the original colour "A"

Did Wilton only offer a choice of two colours back then?😉

Aye, it was sort of thrust upon my by cost and the necessity of getting something down on the floors ASAP (new build house.)

I have LVT in the kitchen and when the the high-travel areas, such as the living room and hallway, start to show wear ill LTV those as well.

Not that im by any means a decor guru, I do think that coloured or, heavens forbid, patterned carpet ties to down to dertain paint and furniture colours.

They interfere with her view.
