Choosing the colour of your flooring is a big decision, especially since timber flooring can, if properly maintained, last a lifetime.
Your floors are one of the biggest surface areas in your home, so the colour chosen will have a large impact on its personality and décor.
Our team of experts at Millennium Floors are happy to consult with you on your timber flooring colour choice.
There are a few things to bear in mind when choosing your timber flooring.
- If you have a small home, room or apartment to floor steer clear of dark flooring. Light flooring gives the perception of space where as dark flooring can close a room up. Likewise, if you have large rooms to floor, darker tones for your timber flooring can give your room a warmer and cosier appeal.
- Do you have low ceilings? Lighter timber flooring will help to make the room look bigger and not close it up.
- Life can sometimes get messy, and whilst we all like to think we’re clean and tidy sometimes its nice to have a floor that hides some of our indiscretions. Often dark flooring can show every spec of dirt and every blemish. Gloss finishes also seem to make damage more noticeable. Opting for a more natural colour where stains and specs blend in could be a saviour to your sanity.
- When choosing you’re your flooring colour you need to be mindful of your current furnishings. Will your new flooring clash with them? If so, do you choose a floor colour based on your current furniture and furnishings or the look you ultimately want to achieve?
- Feeling traditional? Brown tones for your timber flooring have a very traditional feel. When choosing your flooring you need to choose something that will last the test of time, there’s no point in choosing a colour that you will want to be rid of next year.
