What dark or hardwood flooring should you choose? The choice is up to you, but here are some ideas to help you make a decision. A darker color can give a space a richer and more sophisticated look. 2) Lighter woods can brighten darker areas. A lighter color is more casual and can be used in many contemporary and country decorating styles. A lighter, neutral color will look better with a wide range of color schemes.

When you’re thinking about hardwood floors, there are decorative options. Pattern: Flooring boards can be installed at a 45 degree angle. This diagonal pulls the eye through the space and makes it feel larger. You can also install them in a herringbone design. Board Width You should consider the space in which the board will be installed. A large space can appear smaller and more comfortable if it has a wider board. A smaller space can look larger if it is fitted with narrower boards that tend to recede.

You may want to concentrate on the fun aspects of choosing flooring (colors, styles galore!) Don’t forget about the practical aspects. Is your room suitable to use hardwood? Are there any spillages? What is the subfloor? These considerations will assist your flooring contractor in recommending the best options for you.
