Choosing the Right Floor Colour

Choosing the right floor colour

“A floor makes a room.” That’s always been the motto at Quick-Step. The type of floor you choose can significantly impact your interior, but colour also plays a major role in setting the mood, which can make the decision process even more challenging. Fortunately, you can rely on the expert advice of Quick-Step’s floor designers to guide you through the process.

Choosing the right floor can be overwhelming. To ease the stress, start by defining the interior design style that resonates with your personality and lifestyle. Are you leaning towards a modern, rustic, minimalist, or eclectic style? Each style comes with its own colour palette and a unique combination of materials and textures that complement one another.

In addition, having a clear vision helps in making consistent and intentional choices, contributing to a more cohesive and balanced interior that truly reflects who you are. To successfully curate your ideas, consider creating a moodboard with examples of interiors that inspire you and use it as a guide throughout the selection process.

Match the floor to your style

If a modern, minimalist style suits your personality, choosing a neutral floor in shades of grey, white, or beige is best. These colours create a sleek and refined look. Rich, warm wood finishes are ideal for evoking a cosy, rustic ambience. Dark wood floors enhance the country charm but can also add an authentic touch to a more eclectic interior.

Want to try out different trends? Then, a neutral beige oak floor is perfect for you, as it matches any interior style and is timeless. This way, you can experiment with different interior styles over the years on a neutral canvas, and it’s also an ideal choice if you ever decide to rent out your home.

Be mindful of the space

Colour can also influence spatial perception. Anastasiia Kudashova, Head Designer at Quick-Step, explains: “Light-coloured interiors are often used in smaller rooms because it’s believed that lighter colours make spaces appear larger. In reality, it’s the combination of light and dark elements that affects the perceived dimensions of a space.

“So, if you’re not a fan of an entirely light interior, you can achieve a similar spatial effect by choosing a light-coloured floor and decorating the rest of the room with darker accents. In rooms with plenty of natural light, dark, bold floors can also be used comfortably without making the space feel too small or cramped.”

Choose a timeless floor

Bold and bright colours are perfect for adding a personal touch to your interior, but a floor isn’t a fashion item that you can replace every season to match the latest trends. Moreover, Quick-Step floors are not only beautiful but also durable, with a lifetime guarantee you can rely on. Therefore, choosing a neutral floor transcends fleeting interior trends. Classic wood looks have been a staple in interiors for years and will always remain timeless.

Still want to make a statement? Opt for colourful accents like a bright yellow armchair or a red coffee table that you can easily swap out over time. After all, it’s not just trends but also your personality that will evolve over the years. One thing is certain: everyone can find something they love in Quick-Step’s extensive range, whether your style is classic, modern, or bold.
