Once you make a choice in country club interior design, it’s hard to change it. The club is in use. Putting anything off-limits for renovation means more expense and lost revenue. The initial choice can’t be rushed; your flooring options have to be well thought through. Patterned wool carpets are durable and allow a wide diversity in aesthetic. This allows you to make the best choice of material while preserving a country club’s unique personality and presentation.

How to Use Different Colors

  • Yellows: Colors evoke different characteristics. A lighter color opens up a space because it’s reflecting more light throughout the room. Rooms that are smaller or have fewer windows demand a lighter color. If a room feels constricted, yellow is a perfect solution. Just make sure your lighting is whiter – yellow lighting in a yellow-carpeted room can start to feel like a 70s movie.
  • Oranges: In areas that face west and see the setting sun, you can thematically extend that experience in a rich and fulfilling way by choosing orange and gold colors. At the right time of day, it can feel like stepping into the sunset itself. Gold patterned wool carpets matched with merigold curtains that catch the day’s last rays of sun feel extraordinary. You can easily see how extending such natural beauty into your country club can provide a rare and relaxing experience.
  • Reds: Reds are very lively. They can sing as an accent color. Red as a theme should typically be reserved for entertainment and dining areas, particularly when the setting is more intimate. If a large room features too much red, it can assault the senses or make us feel as if that area is unsafe.
  • Greens: Be careful with greens. They can easily be used wrong. They’re primarily an accent color for living spaces, and they’re best used when matching an exterior green feature. It can be easy to go overboard with green, so find complementary colors that work with it well. Anything flowery usually works splendidly – just don’t overdo reds or you’ll have an unintentional holiday theme year-round.
  • Blues: One color that matches well with green is blue. It’s a very tranquil color, so it pairs well with other natural colors and lively colors. It can also match well with pastel influences. Blue is a must to convey any nautical themes for a country club near the beach, ocean, or a lake.
  • Purples: On the other hand, a darker color can convey depth and majesty. Purple, violet, and plum tones are often associated with nobility and regal bearing. This can be ideal for some rooms that still get a lot of light, but go too dark with any color and the room can start to feel smaller and claustrophobic.
  • Grays: Slate grays and silvers are very popular right now, and they go well with black and white furniture design. It can feel like stepping into a classic movie, which carries a lot of appeal. You’re design with gray patterned wool carpets must be precise. It’s very evocative for a neutral color, so it has to play off your lighting design and furniture choice perfectly. Get it right, and you’ll have stunning results.
  • Browns: Other neutral colors such as tans and browns can be good choices. Please be responsible with beige – it’s too easy to fall into 80s and 90s residential interior design mistakes. It’s harder for neutral colors to feel rich or deep, so there has to be a good reason for using them extensively. Browns are best for setting off other pieces – interesting furniture or art that will draw the eye. Here, neutral colors serve the purpose of getting out of the way. They don’t distract from the room’s elements the way a deeper, more absorbing color would. Fail to have anything interesting enough in the room, and tans and browns can just make it seem dull and antiquated.

Transitions Between Patterned Wool Carpets Are Crucial

Transitions are crucial. Step from that gold-carpeted, marigold-curtained, west-facing sunset room and into a lively hallway of blue and green and you’ll notice the difference in an unfavorable way. Spaces need transitions from one look to another. You can still feature different themes or looks, but you may need a space that subtly tells the eyes that a transition is taking place.

This can be one of the hardest interior design challenges for a country club. Work with your flooring designers to achieve successful transitions. Ideally they’ve done this before, and they’ve applied successful transitions from space to space for decades. There’s a lot that has to be subconsciously conveyed through color and pattern choice for a successful transition. Get that transition right and it expands your entire space. It can make your country club feel even larger and more extensive when you’re able to transition between themes effectively.

Rules for Patterns Change by Room

A pattern can be a stellar choice until it’s applied to a certain type of room. A small, repeating, and predictable pattern in a lively color is perfect for a smaller room. Fitting so much of a small pattern into a space makes it feel larger. The lively color makes the room feel like an active, energetic space. The predictability and repetition of the pattern makes the room feel safe and comfortable.

Apply that same small pattern to a large space and there’s too much of it. If we can see it under our feet as well as yards away, a small pattern starts to turn into visual noise. It can be visually uncomfortable. Its colorfulness can evoke an alert rather than comfort. This is why larger lobbies and entry spaces often trend toward broader patterns in more neutral colors. Either a bright or deep color might be used as accents, but usually not as the main feature of the pattern.

To make a large space like this feel even larger, you break up the space into segments. Perhaps there’s a bar with elegant choice of stone flooring and wall tile designs. By creating one or two segmented spaces that still fit the visual theme, a main space can be made to seem larger.

You can see in this example how the rules about patterns change as the space changes sizes. You can still make a large area feel even larger, but the method for accomplishing this shifts.

Work with Experts When Selecting Patterned Wool Carpets

Keep these ideas in mind when forming your country club interior design. Remember, working with experts provides a set of experienced eyes who can more fully help you realize your vision and back it up with successful techniques.

Working with experts helps you better articulate and detail your ideas, which can help you extend and expand on them. Above all, choose carpets that last and that bring out the color in your choices most fully. Patterned wool carpets are the best choice because they last, they withstand wear so well, and because the wool fully dyes – the fullness of its color will last for years longer than the alternatives.
