What color wall paint would go with turquoise carpet?

First of all, you have my sympathy on the carpet front.  It would be very difficult to live with an unwanted turquoise carpet. Whenever I am faced with a carpet that is completely outdated, my simple motto is to "Cover it up."

Painting your walls is your first step, and a great color to keep a neutral feel is a warm brown or taupe.  Bear in mind that there are many colors of taupe, and you would be best to avoid those that have yellow undertones.   Yellow undertone paints tend to give a room an odd brightness underneath the brown. 

Once your walls are painted, work at concealing as much of the carpet as possible. Area rugs are a fantastic way to hide unsightly carpet, and in a turquoise room there are a few that would not only conceal, they would blend in as well.  The Mystique Slate warm brown area rug actually has accents that blend with turquoise, as does the Aria Circles. People may believe that you choose the turquoise yourself, because of how great your area rug looks with it.

When your painting and covering is complete, add some deep chocolate brown accessories to complete the look. Frames, mirrors, candles, and pillows will help you create a cozy room, despite the sea of turquoise carpet.
