In this article we want to be more specific about the influence of color on hardwood, laminate and vinyl flooring and reflect the result of the color on whole place and ambiance.
Let’s start with dark colors no matter of the certain style of building or rooms. Dark colors like black, charcoal grey, dark grey or espresso brown bring the surface more cozy, warm and intimate than light colors. Normally in a large surface darker color may bring the walls closer but for small surface will make the place looks busy.
Different shades of brown: from light beige brown color to chocolate brown. These colors are the most popular colors for flooring which is coming to the fact that brown shades are more easier coming along with decorations. Neutral lighter brown or golden brown do not shrink the place. On the other hand, darker brown come with depth and elegance to your place.

These colors allow you to add more strong colors for your decoration which it comes with big challenge of choosing the furniture, cabinets, rugs or curtains.

Modern buildings and decoration are directing us to the nude colors. Not only for flooring but also for walls and furniture.
