The simple answer to your question is absolutely not! But ask yourself why you are stuck on being totally neutral. Neutral does not have to be beige - there are many other lighter tones that are considered in the neutral range.Let's assume you are a home owner who is redecorating. What will the colors of your walls be? If they are going to be white, ivory or light beige you can add interest and warmth with carpeting that is a different shade than beige. If you are going to have bold colors in most of the rooms - like navy, red or other jewel tones, you do want to stick with one of the beiges. However, it does not have to be boring.How to decide on colorsIf you have the lighter walls and want something different, walk around your home and see if there is preponderance of a color. Do you integrate something green into each room? Is there a touch of blue everywhere? If not, then look at your favorite pieces. It could be that your upholstered living room group is your favorite. All things being equal, you may have a painting or wall art that you do not feel you could live without. Select a muted color in the sofa or picture and then look at carpet samples in a very light hue of the main shade.What this color of carpeting will do is compliment your furniture or make the eye go immediately to your prized picture.No matter what color you choose, including beige, today's manufacturers are making carpets with tone-on-tone designs.
