<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Choose Dark Colors
If the desire is to have the cream leather suite stand out and become the room's focus, choose a darker carpet than the furniture, such as beige or tan. The eye will focus on the lightest area in the room, in this case, the leather suite.
On the Other: Choose Light Colors
A lighter carpet color---such as white---will help make the cream leather furniture blend into the overall room; the eye will focus on the room as a whole and not just the furniture. Decorating a room with similar colors will also help the room to appear more spacious and airy.
Bottom Line
Which carpet color to choose to complement a cream leather suite depends on the overall goal of the room's look and feel. If the goal is to showcase the suite, choose a darker-colored carpet. If the goal is to blend the suite into the rest of the room, choose a lighter-colored carpet.
