Hello Nada Don't worry, you have lots of possible choices for a green carpet and more traditional style... If you want to stick with neutrals, you can mix with rich creams and warm taupes and beiges - don't forget to mix in some accents of a co-ordinating green to bring in the color of the carpet. You could go just with different tones of greens to build a relaxed harmonious scheme - but too much green, especially pale green, can tend to look a little bland or sickly, so try to add a few accents of a complimentary orange, red, or deeper purples and blues. Other options are to mix in yellows, lighter (yellowy) greens and/or blues - checks, stripes and floral patterns in these colors, or combinations of these colors, would give a very 'country' feel. A more 'dramatic' scheme would see you using orange tones as a 'foil' for the green - accents of rich russet or rust, could be mixed with paler peach or apricot tones on the walls. Still remember to bring in a few accessories, paintings or accents with the jewel green color in to bring your carpet color right into the scheme. This would be a nice warm, cosy look, with a traditional feel. Deep purples, violets, blues and lighter lilacs could also work well with the green in a similar type of scheme (replacing the orange/rust/peach tones above). This would give a relaxing feel, but cooler and more sophisticated. Always choose paler tones for walls, especially if your room is on the small, or dark, side at all - richer and deeper tones will work well for drapes, bedding and other accents and accessories.
