Worried about dirt, muck and stains on your carpet? You’re not alone. When it comes to choosing a colour of carpet, choosing the colour which best hides dirt can be an important decision to make.
Which Carpet Colour Hides Dirt Best?
- Dark earthy tones such as brown, blue, green, greys and black hides dirt best.
- Patterned carpets are another good choice when it comes to hiding dirt.
- Light colours such as light beige, light grey and white hid dirt the least and should be avoided.
- If you’re worried about dirt, get an easy to clean carpet such as a stainfree carpet.
Dark Brown Carpet
Most dirt and muck can be hidden with a dark brown carpet. If you’ve got a busy or messy household and having a carpet colour which is easy to hide stains and dirt, a dark brown hue is the best choice.
Other Dark Colours
If you’re not a fan of brown carpets or they don’t go with your decor, there’s other dark colours available.
Neutral Tones
Dark shades of neutral tones are a popular colour choice. Not only are they easy to match with your decor, they can hide dirt too.
Opt for dark shades of neutral tones like a deep blue, dark oranges and dark beige colours
Dark shades of blue, green, grey and dark beige can also work well when you want to hide dirt as much as possible. These can be good options for dining rooms, especially a stain resistant option for those busy households.
Patterned Carpets Hide Dirt
Striped carpets and patterned carpets can be good for hiding dirt, because of the nature of their design. Stripes are often good choices for stair carpets, a high traffic area which is prone to dirt and debris.
Any dirt can blend into a pattern, depending on the amount of dirt and pattern style. Patterned carpets are a good choice when you want to hide dirt and have a more dynamic look to your flooring.
Which Colours To Avoid
Avoid White Carpets
Do we need to say avoid white carpets? White carpets as you can imagine are the worst for showing up dirt and muck, and so should be avoided.
Avoid Light Colour Carpets
Light colour carpets such as light grey, beige and light shades of all the colours will show up dirt the most.
If you’re getting a carpet for a high traffic area which you know will get dirty, light colours are more likely to have visible dirt.
On That Note
When it comes to choosing a carpet, dirt and mess should be considered if it’s in a high traffic area. When you’re worried about dirt making an obvious mess on your floor, a dark colour carpet is a good choice.
A patterned carpet is another popular option, and of course you can go for a stainfree carpet which is easy to clean when the time comes.
