Morphology
the + carpet + match + the + drape
The meaning that the carpet and drapes correspond in colour or design is directly derivable from the constituents: 'carpet' and 'drapes' are items of fabric and 'match' means to correspond or harmonize. This is a regular compositional pattern in English (and in many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows the words would readily infer the intended decor meaning.
Etymology
The carpet matches the drapes comes from a simple home image: when the floor (carpet) and the curtains (drapes) are the same color or pattern, the room looks planned and calm. That's why the saying means a 'coordinated' or 'harmonious' look in a room.
