No colour topic is as controversial in the world of home décor as the use of black and grey, since they are often perceived as lifeless, gloomy and way too formal to add to a pleasing level of home comfort. At the same time they enjoy great popularity among decorators worldwide as they are classic and timeless. When used in the right manner, black and grey have the great ability to accentuate a room’s character for a sophisticated, metropolitan design.
As we are going to show you, black and grey over-dyed vintage carpets have a unique strength to add refined glamour and sophistication to your space, while creating an interesting flair, being all other than neutral.
Being our most classic examples, those premium quality vintage carpets and patchwork carpets naturally blend several gradations of black and white to achieve exciting, abstract shadings, which make up their characteristic retro-grunge style. Therefore, we are able to offer you a large variety of black vintage carpets and grey vintage carpets to achieve the individual décor effect you desire.
Use a vintage carpet with plain black as a predominant colour to make a dramatic statement with other bold or natural colours. The classic combination with white home arrangements creates an elegant, timeless look, making your room more pronounced while adding a seductive charm. A black vintage or black patchwork carpet, ideally placed on flooring in light colours, adds sleekness and makes the atmosphere more intimate and cosy – provided that your windows allow plenty of natural light to enter your room. Close to large windows, a black vintage carpet may even visually stretch your room, as it has the ability to direct the view towards the outside.
The much sought-after retro look of our vintage carpets is the key to keeping your space from being too confining. Exciting new designs are created by our talented team of artists, who personally oversee each step of the creative and high-quality production process of our vintage carpets. Their lively grey black patterning transforms classic black into an edgy yet sophisticated décor complement,- to make your home’s design both classic and modern.
Choosing a vintage carpet or patchwork carpet with grey as a main nuance is a smart idea to achieve an ambiance suggesting cleanness and a pleasant formality, which explains its popularity among our customers who place it in dining rooms and even kitchens. This neutral yet terrific hue has a soothing quality, working well with many rich and soft colours. Vivid and very interesting visual appeals can be achieved in combination with bright orange, fuchsia, and especially with luxurious purple, while grey moderates the colours’ presence for a delightful, comfortable atmosphere.
For peaceful simplicity, match your grey vintage carpet or grey patchwork carpet with lighter colours, such as beige, tan fabrics and any wooden furniture. Use its cooling effect with a charcoal or a silver grey vintage carpet and look for warmer shades of grey to add cosiness to your room’s mood while keeping a theme of timeless simplicity.
As a simple decoration rule, consider whether you would like to use your black or grey vintage carpet as a primary piece or to set a meaningful accent, which depends on the size of the carpet and your room. Give your new designer carpet space to find its fit into your home décor, so that it can unfold its whole character and beauty – especially when you decide on a large, elegant black vintage carpet.
For a balanced, enjoyable ambiance, use lighter shades in a room with darker colours and muted shades where lighter colours are predominant. This way, you may easily create spectacular contrasts and harmonious fusions with existing patterns and nuances.
Put a modern emphasis on your home’s décor with one of our originally designed black and grey vintage carpets or patchwork carpets. The new, ageless beauty added by our grey-black vintage carpets will simply amaze you and all of your guests.
