Choosing the perfect floor color for your home is a mammoth task as what seems to be “perfect” to you may seem to be “crap” for your family, your architect, and interior designer. Home is a place for all family members and you need to make sure that they all appreciate their home and love relating to it. Every room has a different purpose and hence, it should have a different theme. And most importantly, every room should convey something that you and your family would like to cherish. With floor color serving as the foundation that guides your decision on room/home themes, we, at Eckards Flooring Savannah GA, do our best to design your dream home. With colors and themes that challenge your senses and with combinations that may bring endless possibilities, you are most likely to keep wondering what makes your home décor the perfect fit for your needs and lifestyle.
While there is no single formula or fixed solutions for every situation or combination, here we present three quick tips that would allow you to choose the “perfect” floor color for your home:
- Room Size: Floor color produces a major impact on the general look and feel of a room. For example, warm and dark tones such as oak and walnut are suitable for larger rooms as they instil a feel of compactness and cosiness in large spaces. On the other hand, small rooms look spacious in lighter and natural floor colors such as light oak, maple, or beige.
- Light: Your room will have different shades of light at different times of the day. Your room would generate different appeals during mid-afternoon and broad sunlight and at night, under artificial light. Rooms that feature bright spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows may look dramatic with dark or even black-colored floor.
- Bigger Picture: Imagine the bigger picture when you decide on floor color. The floor color should complement the style and décor of the room. It should blend well with wall color as well as the color of the furniture. Natural colors provide a neutral background and allow the furniture to get highlighted. Red floors imbibe a feel of luxury and look best with heavy colonial furniture.
Flooring is a concept that is defined differently by different people. At the end of the day, you may choose not to follow any rules and create a concept of your own. At Flooring Savannah GA, we encourage you to discover your own unique themes while we make sure that you get the most out of your choice.
