Some people think it must be hard to create an airy feel in their living room. It is especially when they want to combine a medium or even darker shade of grey for the walls and a dark-colored wood floor. Many of them think that the combo will only make the interior looks dull.

If you also think so, but at the same time you are interested in the color combination, there is a trick you can do. It is by including large glass windows that face the right direction to allow more sunlight to enter the room.

To erase the dark and dull impression even better, you can also include white interior trim for wall detailing and for the window frame.

Is your living room not so spacious and has a rather low ceiling? Does it have a dark wood floor too?

If all the answers are yes, you need to know that if you choose the wrong grey tone for the walls, you can make the room feel even smaller. If so, which shade of grey to pick then?

For a living room like this, you can pick a lighter tone for the grey wall paint because it can create a more spacious impression. It can be better if you also paint the ceiling of the room in white to visually remove the low look.

Greige is another color you can pick for your living room walls. If you are not familiar with the name, it is a tone with the combination between grey and beige.

When paired with the right wood floor, greige walls can create a cozy and even calming interior. As an example, you can match them with grey-stained flooring like the one you see in the pic, in which a silvery-stained French oak material is chosen.

This type of wood floor seems to prove that different shades of brown are not the only options available. Besides the fact that it can support the calming atmosphere, this option also makes the interior looks ampler.

Natural Touch with Stone Wall

For you who are interested in bringing a natural touch to your living room, stone walls are better to select than the painted ones. In the pic, the example that you see is dry-stacked gray-blue limestone material used for covering the wall-size fireplace surround.

Of course, a choice like this is not only suitable to use to create this kind of interior element. If you want to, you can also use it to create an accent wall that will surely arrest people’s attention when entering the room.

For a stronger natural look, choosing an unfinished wood floor would be nice. However, if you don’t like the option, you can choose something that adds a bit of color to the material without 100% erasing the original look. The example is a grey stain or grey wash option.

Bold Living Room with Charcoal Walls

Floor: Heart pine floor with grey wash stain

Light or medium grey wall paints are not the only options you can pick for the living room. You can also choose a dark choice like charcoal and create a stunning bold look that you will love.

When choosing a rather dark color like this, it is reasonable for you to worry that the room will get too dark for a gathering-spot so it will create discomfort. In this case, what should you do?

The answer is already available in the picture above. You can pair the charcoal walls with a bright wood floor. The material used in the example is heart pine with grey wash staining.

It is also excellent that the window also provides enough natural light at day. Besides, there is also a white ceiling that will not make the room looks darker and shorter.

2. Entry and Hall

A welcoming ambiance is always crucial for an entry. If the choices are limited in the combo between grey walls and wood floor, it means you should choose the color scheme carefully.

As an example, you can choose a warm grey tone for the wall since it can create a better welcoming atmosphere. For the floor as the match, you can pick one that has a brown color, no matter whether it is natural or comes from a staining process.

This type of flooring can create a cozy look in the entry. It means people can feel comfortable once they enter your house.

Focusing on the coziness can be excellent when it comes to designing a hallway. Therefore, you can limit the color options for the walls and floor in choices that can create the effect.

You can give a try to the combination of dark grey walls and dark brown wood floor. This combo will create the coziness you need. Even if the hall is quite tight, because of the color scheme, it will never be exhausting or even suffocating for you to pass it.

To avoid the place from looking too dark, add white interior trim in the wall design. You can also use it to on door frames too.

For a hall that looks too neutral because of the grey wall and brown wood floor selection, you can try an accentuating design. The way is by adding contrast or bold color in the place.

Take a look at the picture above as an example. Here, black is the accentuating color. You can see it in the doors and console table.

To avoid a dark impression in the hall, the designer also uses white trims. They also use the same tone for the ceiling to create a taller and ample illusion.

Indeed, most of the time, the combination of grey walls and wood floor in an entry or any other rooms tends to create a neutral look. What if you need something more refreshing so you can start each day full of energy and positivity?

In this case, you need to add a third color in the color scheme. The example is the yellow tone you can see on the door of the transitional entry above.

It gets even more exciting because the sunny color does not only add a refreshing ambiance to the entire entry area. It also adds a color pop that makes the design looks fun.

If you want to keep the neutral color scheme but at the same time, you also want to add a different touch in the entry design, choose a different grey shade for the door. In this case, the one we suggest you choose is a darker tone.

The reason why we said so is that this way, you can add a touch of boldness in the entry area. It will also make the door as a more prominent accent to arrest more attention there.

3. Bedroom

The combination of grey walls and wood floor is also a suitable choice for the bedroom area. However, you must suit it with the primary function of the room, which is a place for resting.

Because of that, you need to limit the choices of color for the room. As an example, you can choose a greige shade for the walls since it can create a cozier atmosphere.

The grey-washed accent wall from wood-like wallpaper above is also a good example. The final result looks calming in the pic. It is even more excellent because it has a compatible look with the wood floor.

For you who want to create a dreamy look, soft grey is the shade you must choose for the walls. Its dominance will build the ambiance excellently.

As for the wood floor, a dark brown option would be excellent. The reason is that it is a perfect selection for creating a cozy look. Besides, the tone is also helpful for making your eyes relaxed whenever you want to go to sleep.

Another option that you can choose for creating a calming bedroom environment is a bluish-grey tone for the walls. This kind of color has a blue undertone in it, so it also emits the relaxing visual effects just like the one owns by the real blue shades.

To help you build the calming effect, you can choose a wood floor with a dark tone, just like the one you see in the picture. If you do not want the entire floor to have a dark look, you can add an area rug with a color that suits the scheme you build in there.

An interesting thing that you can find in this picture is that the designer uses wood material on the ceiling. When you lay down on the bed, this detailing will also help you to find calm and relaxing state for better quality sleep.

Take a look at this shared bedroom, which seems to be suitable for a family with more than just one kid or teen. The inspiration that we want to show you more from this picture is about the use of real grey stain on the wood floor. It makes it has a quite similar look with the walls.

When you choose a design like this, we highly recommend you to use interior trims to separate the walls and floor. This way, the room’s dimensions will visually make sense.

Besides, you can also avoid placing too many items with grey color in the room. The only reason is that the tones of the walls and floor are already dominating the space.

In the pic, the designer includes furniture and ladder with natural brown wood color to break the dominance. This idea can avoid some dull look too.

If yes, you should try to decorate your bedroom with the combo between greige and beige. For perfection, use dark brown stain for the wood flooring.

The example above is an excellent one. You can see the greige color on the walls. The bed and the curtains have the beige tone as the match.

Do you know that grey is another most excellent color to use on dining room walls? It is neutral, attractive, and not overpowering in the design. It also can add a dramatic look in the room and prominence to the furniture.

The picture of a traditional dining room above is the example. The grey color of the walls can build a dramatic impression in there. Besides, it also emphasizes the furniture set in the center, particularly the table.

The choices of medium grey tone for the walls and espresso for the woof floor are excellent. Both of them build up a cozy ambiance in the room, and they don’t make the place too bright too. This way, everyone can enjoy every mealtime more comfortably.

If your dining room has an open design and it is connected to a living or a family room, you should carefully choose the grey tone for the walls. The most important thing is that the color you are about to pick must be suitable for both of the areas.

If you need an example, the bluish-grey wall tone in the picture above is a good one. First of all, it is suitable for emphasizing the furniture set in the dining area. Second of all, it can build up a relaxing atmosphere that can make people feel like to spend time in the living room.

As for the floor you see here, it is an oak floor that receives a clear finish. It adds a warm touch to the place without overpowering. Besides, the type of finish chosen here creates a clean and sleek impression that is great for both rooms.

For some people, a brighter dining room is a better choice to select. This opinion is not merely about the fact that it is more comfortable to enjoy meals with adequate lighting. It is also a form of an effort to add more functions to the place, which is more than a spot for eating at home.

The question then is, can the combo between grey walls and wood floor do that? Thankfully, it can.

If you want to create a brighter dining room, the grey walls must be brighter too. Besides, you should choose a white wood floor instead of the dark one.

In the picture above, the dining area does not only has enough lighting from outside but also has the choices of simple chairs and a large table. This way, it is possible to use the room, for other function such as group studying or meeting.

To create it, you can choose a warm shade for the walls, such as greige. For an even stronger ambiance, you can pair it with a darker wood floor and beige for the furniture and decoration.

Choosing What Color Floor for Grey Walls

Wondering “what color floor with grey walls?” Don’t worry — you’re in the right place. We’ll show you the best flooring combos for grey walls, how to pick the right one for your home, and a few things to consider.

Disclaimer: The information included in this post is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as legal, financial, or DIY advice. We highly suggest consulting a professional before attempting any DIY home improvements or repairs.

Choosing the right floor color can make or break your room’s aesthetic. As you decide what color floor for a grey wall you choose, keep in mind how your décor and furniture will look with it.

How to Choose What Color Floor for Grey Walls

Grey walls are popular for interior design because they make a perfect subtle background that pairs well with most furniture and décor.

However, when it comes to floors, it is common to forget how much they add to a room. Because grey comes in various tones and shades, many flooring options will look stylish with a grey wall.

Some examples include:

Wood Flooring
Patterned Tiles
Neutral Tiles
Marble

Although you can pair cool and warm tones together, it is easier to stick to one or the other. For example, if your wall is a warm grey, opt for a warm floor color.

What Color Floor for Grey Wall

Grey walls provide the perfect neutral canvas to choose a variety of flooring options. Whether you want something light, dark, modern, or rustic, there is something that will pair with your grey wall.

1. Light Brown

Light brown flooring is a common choice for those who have grey walls. With so many types of soft brown wood, you can easily find a shade that compliments your wall. Using light brown wood flooring works great for anyone who wants a rustic interior.

Light brown can also match modern decor and furnishings with the proper styling. If your space is more on the small side, a light brown floor can help open it up.

Light colors, such as a soft brown, create an illusion that makes the room look larger. For pet owners, having a light brown floor can also be beneficial. Unlike dark brown wood, scratches from dogs or cats running around will be hard to see.

2. Medium Brown or Beige

Beige and grey have been a trendy pairing for years. Because both grey and beige are neutral colors, it is easy to style any room regardless of your preferred design.

Many homeowners opt for a beige tile because it does an excellent job of hiding both light and dark pet hair, dirt, and dust. Beige tile looks clean and elegant without being overly flashy.

Though a light beige has been popular for carpets, it is uncommon for homeowners to add carpeting to a home. Carpet can be harder to clean, especially if children or pets are running around.

There is a wide variety of medium brown flooring options for hardwood floors. Whether you want a warm medium brown, cool medium brown, or even brown with a hint of grey, there is something for everyone.

3. Dark Brown

Dark wood flooring looks gorgeous when paired with a light-grey wall. However, dark wood flooring can be overwhelming if the wall is on the darker side.

Unlike light-colored wood, dark wood floors absorb sunlight, making them fade less over time. Even in a room with plenty of natural sunlight, your dark wood floors will look better for a longer time.

In addition to the functionality, dark hardwood floors have a rich look that adds a bit of a luxurious feeling to a home.

In color psychology, brown is known as an earthy color that is commonly associated to resilience, safety, and security. Many homeowners with dark floors also like that their bright green plants pop in the contrast of their flooring.

4. White Wood or Tile

Whitewash wood flooring has become a big trend as of late. Some white wood flooring is more on the all-white side, while other types of whitewash flooring have a more distressed look.

Natural wood can be somewhat pricey, but luckily, plenty of tiles mimic the appearance of white wood flooring. Unlike natural wood, you can use vinyl planks in any home area, and tile doesn’t scratch or discolor as easily.

White flooring paired with a grey wall sets you up with the perfect canvas to experiment with décor and design styles. Whether you have a farmhouse, contemporary, or industrial home, you can easily use décor and furniture to make it what you like.

Many homeowners like that white flooring add a clean, open feeling to their room. Because of this, it makes one of the best color options for a more minimalistic style.

Since white reflects light, you can use a white floor to maximize sunlight. Because white floors are reflective, they can make a smaller room feel more spacious and open.

5. Grey

Just because you have grey walls doesn’t mean you can’t have grey flooring as well. However, you want to choose the flooring that contrasts with the wall so it doesn’t end up looking dull.

Like white flooring, grey is a neutral color that gives you a lot of room to change your décor. There are very few colors that pair poorly with grey, so you are free to create the style of your home as you wish.

If you have a light or medium grey-colored wall, choose dark flooring to provide a good amount of contrast. Go with a lighter grey to open the room up more for a dark grey wall.

In general, it is best to keep your wall and floor either warm or cool. However, with some experimentation, you may find a floor shade that perfectly compliments the warmness or coolness of the wall.

6. Cherry Wood

Cherry wood flooring has been popular for years and hasn’t gone out of style. It has bright, warm color tones that complement grey walls without clashing.

If choosing an authentic cherry wood flooring, opt for a color slightly lighter than you like as it may darken over time.

With so many shades to choose from, you can easily find a style that you love with your grey walls. Because cherry wood has such a warm color, it pairs best with warm grey walls.

7. Grey-Patterned Vinyl Tile

An easy way to match your floor to your wall is to find a tile that has a similar grey within it. When choosing a pattern, it is important to ensure any grey is close to the wall to avoid clashing.

Neutral colors, such as white, are an excellent choice for someone who likes patterns but doesn’t want anything too bold or excessive. For a small pop of color that isn’t too intense, a soft blue paired with grey and white makes a great option.

Before deciding on your tile pattern, consider any furnishings you would like to include in your room. If you plan to add pops of red to your room, consider a tile with small pops of red.

There are plenty of tiles that feature multiple colors, so be sure to use a couple of colors within your décor so the floor doesn’t seem misplaced.

8. White Marble

Marble has been associated with luxury and refined taste for years, even dating back to its common use with Greek and Roman Sculptors and Architects.

With the gorgeous texture marble offers, you can instantly add a sense of beauty and natural elegance. A grey wall will complement the small grey designs that you find throughout white marble.

Though marble is known for its regal look, this doesn’t mean you can’t use other interior styles.

One thing to note about marble flooring is its tendency to be slippery when wet. While this may make a great flooring option for a master bathroom, it is best to use different flooring for a child’s bathroom.

9. Black Marble

Black marble is another flooring style that adds a rich, elegant look to just about any room in your home. A black marble floor will add some depth and character if you have light grey walls.

As with other dark flooring options, black marble works best for rooms you would like to have more of a small, cozy atmosphere. The last thing you want to do is add black marble to your floor only to feel like you’re in a tight, uncomfortable space.

In addition to its slippery nature, marble is known to stain. However, you will see less staining with black marble than its white counterpart.

Things to Consider

Before choosing what floor color for grey walls you will select for your home, keep the following in mind.

Because flooring can be hard to change, be sure you can easily pair décor and furniture with any pops of color within the floor.
Most home experts agree that you should aim to choose a floor color darker than your walls to make the area feel more spacious.
Consider the mood you would like to create. For example, Boho rooms will have a different color and style floor than a modern style.
For a room without any natural light, a light-colored floor can brighten it up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding what floor color for grey walls.

Should floors be darker or lighter than walls?

In general, it is recommended that you choose a floor color darker than your walls. Light walls and a dark floor make a room seem more prominent.

So it’s common for homeowners to follow this rule of thumb. If the room in question has a good amount of natural light, the light flooring can help open it up.

How do I choose a floor color?

When choosing a floor color, consider the size of the room, décor you plan to add, the style you want, and the color of your wall.

If you plan to add new flooring in a large room, a dark floor color can make the ample space feel smaller and cozier. On the other side, light-colored floors and walls can create an illusion of space.

Should walls and floors be the same color?

Each person will have varying tastes; some may prefer the same color while others prefer contrast. However, it is easier to match flooring to your walls if you opt for the same color temperature. For example, a cool grey wall will look best with a floor that has a cool hue.

What are neutral floor colors?

White, black, cream, and grey are examples of popular neutral wall colors. Choosing a neutral color floor can help make decorating your space easier in the future.

Are dark floors out of style?

You may remember growing up with dark brown hardwood floors and wondering if they are out of style. However, dark floors seem to keep up with the times. Even as trendy interiors change, it is hard to find a type that a dark wood floor doesn’t complement.

So, What Color Floor for Grey Walls Is Best?

You can pair just about any floor color with a grey wall as long as you match the color temperature between them both.

Light colors, such as white, cream, or light grey, can help open up a dark room. Dark colors, such as dark grey, dark brown, or black, can add a cozy vibe to your room.

Gray color is beautiful: timeless, classic, with a lot of different shades - it goes well with almost any style of interior and any decor items. Today we will talk about the use of this color in flooring design.

You can find a gray floor in a modern, minimalist, rustic or any other interior.

Unlike black, gray color cannot focus on itself, but it hides all sorts of defects on its background much better, such as scratches and stains.

What types of flooring are available in this colour? We will talk about the 4 most common and briefly go through each of the coverages with examples.

1. Wood

Wood is probably the most popular flooring material. This is partly due to his ability to make the interior cozy and to some extent pleasant already due to his presence.

No matter what you choose, parquet or laminate, pay due attention to the finish of the coating, otherwise it will not last as long as you would like.

Wood becomes especially fragile when you have a child or a dog at home.

There are many shades of gray that wood floors can be painted. Here are some examples that prove these words.
