Why is it necessary to match the carpet with the ceiling?
Although the ceiling is not the much visible part of the room, it is still the ‘fifth wall’ of the room. It holds a significant purpose in deciding the overall look and theme of the room.
Let’s see things this way. If you are planning to create a modern look living room with accented ceiling beam or a designed false ceiling and a magnificent chandelier, you would want your carpet to be coupled perfectly with the ceiling design and level up the charm of the room. A textured carpet or a less patterned carpet would complement the look in this scenario.

Thus, it is equally important to consider the ceiling while selecting the carpet to make a controlled décor.
