How to choose a colour for laminate flooring?
Laminate flooring is the best option for achieving a wood-look floor. Although it is not made of wood, it bears an amazing resemblance to natural wood, giving a uniquely natural result.
What's more, laminate flooring, or the different types of wood laminates, requires no maintenance, is easy to clean and durable. You can keep your floor looking good for years, without having to wax, polish or sand it.
Light brown laminate flooring
Light brown laminate floors are ideal for small rooms, as they reflect light and give the impression of a larger room.
If you want a cheerful, bright home, this is your colour. The result is a room full of energy.
White laminate flooring
White laminate floors are fashionable. Do you want to create a Nordic-style room? Then this is the colour for you, as are light brown, white and light beige tones that reflect light and make the room look bigger and more striking.
White laminate flooring is a very popular option, especially now that Nordic-style decoration is so widespread. If your home is small and doesn't get much natural light, it's a perfect alternative. To stop your home looking too cold, you can add touches of colour to the walls, furniture and curtains.
One drawback? Although it hides dust well, dark stains such as mud will be more visible. In country houses, therefore, it will require a little more maintenance to keep it clean.
Grey laminate flooring
Grey laminate floors provide a neutral backdrop for any element you want to install in your home. Greys are elegant tones that combine perfectly with both warm and cool colours and share the same advantage as browns, namely that they are very easy to keep clean at all times. A modern, open grey floor will be perfect. Likewise, if you have classic furniture and don't plan on changing it, a light grey floor will update the decor to give it a more contemporary feel.
Dark-coloured laminate flooring
Dark floors will give an elegant yet warm look. These tones are ideal for very spacious rooms, as they make them look smaller, creating a thoroughly warm atmosphere.
Black laminate flooring
We finish with black floors, which bring style and luxury to the home. They are a great option to accompany modern decor with clean lines and really stand out. To make them stand out even more, paint the walls white to create contrast: it's a combination that never fails.
It's true that black floors require more maintenance, since dust shows up sooner than on light-coloured floors, which is why we recommend them for homes that don't have direct access to gardens or areas with soil. Better safe than sorry!
As you can see, there aren't that many options to choose from, which makes the decision easier. Now you have a clearer idea of what colour of laminate flooring to choose, it will all depend on the harmony of the contrasting colours in your home.
