Matching the color of the floor depending on other surfaces

  1. The color of the walls and floor can be either close in color, or radically opposite. Which option for walls and floors is better to use depends on how light or dark the floor is decided to make. If the floor has a sufficiently dark color, then for the walls and ceiling it is correct to apply a light shade. Otherwise, the room will be too gloomy.
  2. Light walls and a light floor - a similar combination will expand the space, as well as make it visually more voluminous and spacious.
  3. A classic combination is when the floor of dark colors is much darker than the walls.Floors can have a completely different color, but a dark neutral shade, for example, the color of natural wood.
  4. If we talk about the combination of the color of furniture and the color of the floor in the interior, then you should adhere to the rule that they are in the same color scheme. It can be light or dark.

Floors and Doors

In the kitchen or in the interior of another room, the combination of the color of the interior doors, the baseboard and the color of the floor is important. Many people believe that the colors of interior doors, baseboards and floors should be close to each other, and sometimes coincide. However, this is not a required option.

  1. The first win-win option is to choose the right doors and skirting boards in the interior in the same color as the floor covering. This option will look great in the kitchen. For hallways, this option is good, especially if several doors exit at once. If all doors and skirting boards are installed from the same material, then the floor in the hallway should be selected in accordance with their tone.
  2. If the room is dark or small, then the color of the floor, skirting board and furniture should be chosen light colors.
  3. Another way to select doors, floors and skirting boards is to create a pronounced contrast. For the floor you can choose dark, and for the door and baseboard are already light or white colors.
  4. The color of the furniture should be selected based on the color of the door and baseboard. However, it should be borne in mind that the contrast of the door, baseboard and floor should be well defined.
  5. The color of the floor, door, baseboard and furniture in the kitchen should be cold or warm colors. The combination of cold and warm looks just awful. In addition, it should be remembered that if the color of the door and baseboard is light, and the floor is darker, then the color of the baseboard is recommended to match the color of the door. If the opposite is true, then the color of the door and skirting board can be made to match the color of the floor.
  6. You should never use three different colors for the floor, door and baseboard.

The color of the carpet in the interior

  1. Accented carpet that does not rhyme with anything is a rather interesting, but risky option.
  2. In a room that has white or dark tones, to attract attention, it is worth laying a bright carpet without a pattern or a carpet with beautiful graphic images. You should see how the carpet looks against the background of the ceiling and walls. If the color of the carpet is in harmony, and the carpet against the background of the wallpaper looks organically, then this is a great option. If it seems that the accent carpet does not fit into the interior, then you can supplement the carpet background with not very large decorative elements: a lamp, a vase, sofa pillows.
  3. Carpet of white shades. You can buy a carpet of white shades, then it will expand the space, for example, a small living room. This color of the carpet eliminates the feeling of crowding.
  4. Do not put white flowers on a plain carpet.
  5. You can choose the color of the carpet in the same color as the walls. To prevent an excess of basic white colors, you should dilute the color of the carpet with various shades of furniture and decor elements.
  6. The color of the carpet to match the interior. If the room has colored elements, then the color of the carpet can be selected for them. For example, a carpet can match the wallpaper, the color of the tablecloth, wall, ceiling, armchairs, chairs and the like.
