How to choose wood flooring color

• Dark walls with white floor . Use this combination with caution. The walls of gray, black, brown tones in the interior are interesting, but it is “hard” to be among them.

• Gray floor . Achromatic gray color serves as a good background for any colors and shades. But you should know that gray also has halftones, it can be warm and cold, neutral. If you have not yet decided on interior details, furniture, walls, but you definitely decided that there will be gray accents, then it is better to choose a neutral gray. gray goes well with light tones of pink and pastel, yellow shades. If you choose gray with blue, then you can “dilute” such a cool option by adding accessories and furniture in warm colors. The gray floor and green walls should be chosen carefully, it is difficult to find the ideal option, but it is possible. nine0030

• Dark floors. Dark floors include black, gray, brown, so as not to create a gloomy atmosphere it is better to make the walls white , and exclusively white without various shades. The black floor will look good in modern design in combination with laconic furniture, interesting unusual lamps. Dark floors are suitable for rooms with large windows, an abundance of natural light sources. Black and white interior can be "heavy" it would be nice to add bright colors, such as a black floor, white walls, red blotches in furniture.

When creating contrasting solutions, dark-colored floors are used, but in such cases a sufficient amount of lighting is necessary. nine0005

The best choice for the hall will be parquet, laminate, light-colored carpet in combination with dark or bright furniture. The hall is a room where guests often gather, so the floor should set you up for a good time and communication, but at the same time be practical, non-marking. Classic restrained tones are just right: beige, shades of natural wood, light gray can also be considered, but dark noble colors will also fit perfectly: chocolate shades, mahogany, wenge. nine0005

The bedroom is a rest room, so calm tones should be preferred. A light floor in combination with a one-tone or dark brown skirting board plus pastel wallpaper and light tulle will add coziness and tranquility to the overall picture. But you can take a chance and make the floor catchy, dark colors, diluting the overall light range. From materials suitable laminate and parquet. In the children's room, the floor is also better to choose calm shades or, on the contrary, highlight it with bright colors. It is worth paying attention to blue, peach, sand, light pink, these shades improve mood and stimulate brain activity. nine0005

For bathrooms there are no special restrictions on the choice of design and color of the floors, it can be either plain light, or radical black or innovative self-leveling floors with a 3D effect. The best solutions are the floors of blue, light green, lavender. The color of the walls and ceiling can match the color of the floor, in spacious bathrooms you can experiment and combine different colors.

How to choose the color of the floor, what is combined with white, gray, black in the interior

Creating an interior is the most interesting and, perhaps, the most difficult task. It is necessary to make not only beautiful and cozy, but also convenient and practical. This requires a lot of knowledge. In this article, we will talk about how to choose the color of the floor, how to combine it with other elements - new and existing ones. It's far from simple. nine0005

In design, as a rule, there is no direct answer to the questions posed. Everyone chooses what he likes more. Specifically, there are two approaches to choosing the color of the floor. It seems to someone right to choose the coating and color in each room. There is a logic here, especially if each room in the interior has its own plan. But here's how to combine everything into a single idea or concept - you have to think. This is difficult in small apartments. It's easier if at least the floor is common. nine0005 How to choose the color of the floor: first you need to decide whether it will be the same for you throughout the apartment or in each room has its own

Another approach can be called the opposite. In the premises of a "special" purpose, the floor is selected for the "local" situation. These rooms include the kitchen, maybe part of the hallway at the door. They can allocate a nursery for a small child. Throughout the rest of the area, the flooring is the same. This idea is not bad, as the flooring itself is unifying. But how to choose the color of the floor in this case, because the situation in different rooms is different? Most often, neutral, soft and desaturated colors are used, which are just a background. nine0005

How to choose the color of the floor: a general method

There are two situations when choosing a floor. The first is when the interior is re-created. In this case, the floor, walls, ceiling are taken as the basis, and all other details and components are already selected for them. The second situation is when some items remain. Then, when choosing, you will have to take them into account. This complicates the task. However, there are a few rules to follow.

Basic rules for design

First and foremost is the rule of three colors. So that the interior is not overloaded, there should be no more than three colors. There are combinations of four and five colors, but for a beginner this is a difficult task. Therefore, it is better to limit yourself to three. This is not as small as it seems. Because black, white and gray are not included in these three colors. They are called monochrome and go well with everyone. Other colors - achromatic - can be represented by several shades. So there are really a lot of options. nine0005

How does the choice of floor color affect the perception of the environment

By changing the color of the floor and walls, we get a different mood interior

Neutral options are always good

The traditional color of the floor is one of the shades of wood

nine0631

Modern brushing

The second melt is called the triangle rule. Regarding design, it can be understood as follows: colors should be present in the interior in various volumes. They are divided into three groups: main, additional and accent. There is a lot of primary color - it can just be the floor and walls. The ceiling is usually white and is not taken into account. Complementary colors - furniture, textiles. Accent - accessories, additions and all sorts of small details.

Methods for different cases

How do these rules apply to floor color selection? Just. Before choosing a floor color, look at what colors you have already decided on. If there are already three of them, then there are only two options:

1. The floor can be monochrome - gray, white or black.
2. You can use an existing color or its shade.

In general, choosing the color of the floor seems to be easy. The palette is not that big. If you have roughly decided on the color and type of coating, try to take samples that many companies provide. The fact is that the same coating surrounded by different objects looks different. Therefore, it is better to take samples home - by applying them to the existing interior details, it will be easier to decide. nine0005 Do not know how to choose the color of the floor? Think light... it's easier to work with

What if you're only planning the setting but don't have a clear concept? How to choose the color of the floor in this case? If you don’t know where to go at all, take something neutral that all colors are combined with. In the case of the floor, it is light gray, soft shades of brown, white and its undertones. You can also make a brown floor, but then there are fewer options for color design. Well, or add other items in the same color or shade. Doors, for example. nine0005

More advice. A dark floor color is only worth doing if you are willing to clean often. Dust on a dark coating is visible much better than on a light one. The presence of texture greatly improves the situation, but the dust is still visible. So a rich dark brown wood floor is a possible solution for dark floor lovers.

Interior door and floor color: how to choose the right color

Some people think that door and floor color should be the same. This is an option, but not required. Doors and baseboards may be the same, but this is also not a rule. Skirting boards can be the same as picture frames, for example. Or the same color as the curtains. But, nevertheless, more often they are matched to the color of the doors. nine0005 The color of the doors does not always have to match the color of the floor

When choosing the color of the floor, it is wrong to rely only on the color of the doors. It is necessary to take into account, at a minimum, the color of the walls, as well as the lighting, furniture and all the accompanying furnishings. The chosen style also plays a big role. It sets not only the color, but also the type of surface - gloss or matte. So, for example, for classic interiors, a brown floor is more often used. Doors can be darker or lighter, they can be generally light - white or slightly tinted. For interiors in the Scandinavian style, on the contrary, more often the floor can be seen in white, light gray, light or bleached wood. The doors are either white or "wooden". Again, it depends on the rest of the interior elements. nine0005

Light floor

Light floor is good in any case, especially in small or dark rooms. In this situation, it is generally possible to decorate the floor, walls and doors in one scale. For example, make everything light gray, white or beige, but use different shades for all “parts”. This option - with light tones of the same range - makes the room visually more spacious and bright. With this technique, you can level the lack of daylight.

Accent colors add some brightness

The shade of the floor and curtains matches almost completely

White, grey, black. The monochrome of this interior is broken by a bright picture

Somewhat "sterile" option, but not bad for relaxation

Even with a lack of light, the room does not look dark nine0633

Warm range of light beige colors

Not sure how to choose the color of the floor in the north room with small windows? Try to do just that: light walls and doors, a little darker floor. Furniture and knitwear can be in the same range. You can carefully select color accents. This interior is calm and cozy. But it is better to use warm shades. In any case, on the north side, warm tones will be more pleasant.

With a light floor, you can put dark doors or make bright / dark walls. Dark or saturated colors furniture, in a room with a light floor and walls, also looks good. It's all about what you want to achieve and what you like. The category "light floor" includes different colors.

If the floor is made white, light light beige or light gray

If we talk about flooring, then there is laminate, vinyl tile, parquet, which are called bleached oak, beech, Norwegian pine and other similar names. In fact, they are not pure white - there are shades of gray, beige, brownish. But the general impression is that it is almost a white floor. It creates a feeling of cleanliness and spaciousness. If there is a light gloss, it also visually increases the space. nine0005 With a neutral light floor, you can pick up any decor

You can also find a plain white, but it's not so interesting, although if you beat it correctly, it will also be very good. Paint the plank floor with a very light paint, just get what the flooring imitates. How to choose the color of the floor, if you don’t know what the situation will be? Choose from very light shades. You will not lose, as it is combined with almost everything, it can be in any style.

Paint walls white

If you make a white floor and white walls, we get a calm interior. It is good because by changing textiles and accessories, you change the style. You can easily change your mood. For some, such an interior can be boring, it can be revived with bright fragments. White floors and walls are a great backdrop for any color.

But do not forget the rule of three colors: you should not add more than 3 colors. They can be in shades, but there should be no more than three "groups" of colors.

In combination with light colored walls

And then, in order for the interior to be not too heavy, the doors and furniture should be light.

Colored bright wallpaper or paint

If you combine bright colors on the walls with a white floor, we get a bright and cheerful room. Bright walls are blue, green, red, pink and whatever you want. The degree of "brightness" is again at will and / or according to the purpose of the room. Ideal for children, good for living rooms if you like this option.

In order not to get too colorful, do not interfere with many colors, furniture and textiles in restrained tones. Accessories can be bright, but in small quantities. Add more neutral or "washed out" pastel shades of the same color. It is important not to overdo it with flowers. nine0005

What walls go with the gray floor

Gray also belongs to the chromatic group. It serves as a good background for almost any chromatic colors and their shades.

If you are just planning the interior for now, and have already decided on the range, you can add gray on purpose / consciously. In case you don't know yet what kind of walls and furniture you will have, the best solution is neutral gray.

Gray looks very noble with a soft pink, pastel shade of yellow. In combination with blue, it turns out to be somewhat “cool”, but you can add warm-colored accessories or furniture to neutralize this effect. It is necessary to combine the gray floor with green walls carefully. It is difficult to make friends between these two colors in the interior, although it is possible. But it is necessary to select shades carefully, otherwise it will be uncomfortable. There may even be some dissonance. nine0005

Dark flooring

The definition of "dark floor" is too vague. Dark can be brown, black, gray. The black floor is for extreme people who are not afraid of experiments. But the black color on the floor looks only in modern styles, in which the furniture is laconic, interesting lamps and no pretentiousness. If you want an ultra-trendy interior and do not know how to choose the color of the floor, look at black or dark gray. Perhaps you will like it.

To prevent the black floor from creating a gloomy atmosphere, the walls are made white. And it is “white”, without shades.

If the dark floor is dark brown, the interior style can be classic, modern, art deco, contemporary. One of the most fashionable floor colors is wenge. Wood itself is very expensive, but its imitation is available.

Brown gives the interior solidity and stability. And although it is not monochrome, it is combined with almost all colors. So there are practically no restrictions on the color of the walls. That's just a dark brown floor is good in spacious, bright rooms. For standard apartments, beige walls, the colors of baked milk or cream are ideal for a brown floor. With the right lighting and furniture, even small rooms will feel spacious and cozy at the same time. nine0005

Bright and rich colors

Bright, clean colors on the floor are more typical for the kitchen. In residential areas, the gamma is still more traditional. It is too difficult to match the decor to the green or blue floor. Yes, and not only in this matter. Subconsciously, we expect the floor to be not too bright. This is natural and normal for us. And any bright colors make you tense. Living in such an environment is inconvenient. Don't believe? Cover the floor with red carpet from wall to wall. After a short period of time, the nervous system will overreact even to innocent stimuli. Dark blue on the floor can be depressing. Only green underfoot has a positive effect, but on such a basis it is difficult to create not only a beautiful, but also a cozy interior. nine0005

It is imitated by a laminate, is in a vinyl tile or linoleum. Moreover, this effect is done not only in a bleached version. He's already used to it. They add bright paint, which is then almost erased. It turns out such a muted red, burgundy, blue floor. Looks very interesting.

But the fact is that the color that shows through in such a coating should also be in other details. In furniture, textiles, accessories. But it is desirable that on the floor it was not so saturated. Then the colored floor will "play along", and will not be the main player.

The bright floor can also be made of wood. Some types of varnished wood give a warm yellow or orange color. It looks bright enough. The walls are better to choose light, neutral tones, but warm shades.
