How to design a home with a hardwood floor?
Are you thinking of installing a hardwood floor in your home? Awesome! Now, for the overall design of your home. Hardwood floor is subtly inviting, comforting and looks casually luxurious and will be your home’s best feature. You want to accentuate it by making sure your décor and home style will match it, but how? The number one key here is to create contrast.
Creating colour contrast
Where to start with your decorating? How will the colour contrast work? Fortunately, you don’t need to be a designer to be able to create something wonderful inside your home. Let’s explore a few simple design tips to help you maximise the beauty of your home.
Contrasting the hues and shades in your home could create a harmonious splendour. Here’s what you should do:
- If you have a light floor, opt for a darker wall – doesn’t have to be too dark but dark enough to ensure that the contrast is accentuated. The furniture should be light and minimalistic.
- Experiment with accessories. Choose vibrant colour accessories. Imagine having a grey wall with a white sofa with an orange rug and a lime green ornament. Let your imagination run wild while decorating and have a bit of fun with it.
- For dark coloured floors, choose light coloured walls and a leather sofa. Make sure your sofa is a bit lighter or darker than your floor so it will not create an overcrowded look.
- Bleached floors are fun! You can paint your wall red and add oak furniture for a stylish effect. Or you can colour your walls sky blue and add a white sofa for that seaside
