Flooring is a big decision and not one to be taken lightly as after all, it is one of the biggest surface areas within the home.
Here are our 4 biggest tips to consider when choosing your floor colouring.
1 - Your room size.
Do you want to make your room feel larger? Opt for a lighter coloured flooring. If you are looking for more of a cosy or intimate space then have a look at darker finishes.
2 - What’s your mood?
Do you want a breezy, light filled, beach vibe? White or light timber finishes will be key here.
Would you like a contemporary feel, have you considered a black option for a sense of drama - a good drama of course!
Maybe you would like a classic theme, a simple dark wood / laminate could be perfect.
3 - Don’t forget your furniture!
If you are not investing in new furniture, it is very important to consider the existing colours you will be working with in your home. Do you have some special artwork you want to compliment? A sofa you just cannot part with? Keep these in mind when shortlisting you floor colouring.
Show us some pictures of your key items so we can help advise you on our complimenting colour options.
4 - It’s all in the lighting
Like your paint colours, your flooring can look different throughout the day. Ask us for some free samples to check how they look at different times of the day, with both natural and artificial light.
