Smart ways to enhance the beauty of wood flooring

Wood and engineered wood flooring in North Wales homes is popular for its natural look and durability. Wood flooring, whether solid wood or laminate, makes a style statement in any room, but enhancing its beauty requires careful design choices for the rest of the room.

When installing wood flooring for the first time in a room, it's important to decorate the room in a complimentary colour palette. Though wood is mainly shades of brown, there will also be subtle hints of other colours such as orange, red, grey, or yellow. Homeowners can use a colour wheel chart to find the opposite colours to decorate the room in. For instance, blue can balance wood that contains hints of orange or yellow.

Many are tempted to continue the wood theme by adding wood furniture to a room with wood flooring. Instead, consider using a variety of other textures, such as woven fabrics, metal or leather. Features such as wooden chair legs and wood frames can be used for photos and wall art.

A wood floor can feel hard underfoot, making the room feel less cosy and relaxed. This can easily be fixed by adding deep pile rugs for extra comfort. Rugs can be used to define room areas like a home office space.

When choosing wood flooring options at a flooring company in North Wales, be mindful of the look of the rest of the room and how it complements the natural beauty of wood.
