lining carpet

Post by slamdunk »

Hi peeps, the Blunderbus is almost at the point of lining it with carpet and I dont know what colour to line it with. My first van was silver grey lined, which made for a light interior, but marked easily. I quite fancy something darker, anthracite maybe, but wonder if that will be too dark and make the inside seem smaller. What are your thoughts???

I did my last van in anthracite on the walls and the ceiling in silver/grey and it never made it fell much smaller. Thankfully as I never had youre thought until I was half way through glueing it on!

Miner's darker on the door cards and lighter around the windows, makes it seem roomy enough.
