Light floors:
Rooms with lots of light
If the space where the new floor will be located is a part of the house that constantly receives a lot of light, either naturally through windows or artificially through intense lamps, a light-colored hardwood floor would be the most suitable.
This type of wood will make the room look larger than it really is. In addition, the light tones in this type of material usually reflect tranquility and purity, which fits perfectly with a living room where you want to entertain your guests and family.
Do you have children or pets?
Many times, when children play sitting on the floor or running around the room, dust is likely to fly everywhere and get messy much faster than if there were not so much traffic. On the other hand, many pets tend to lose their hair during certain times of the year, leaving their fur all over the house.
One way to mitigate these problems can be by choosing a light tone for the floor, camouflaging a little hair and dust, and delaying the deep cleaning day a little longer.
Dark floors:
Cold rooms
If you consider that your house has cold rooms with a cold atmosphere that make them difficult to acclimate, a good solution to the problem could be to install hardwood floors in dark tones.
This type of color will bring more warmth and robustness to the environment, generating a very friendly and close atmosphere. A good piece of advice would be to combine it with light-colored furniture, which will produce a great balance between the two.
Do you have furniture that you want to shine?
It often happens that we have a beautiful grand piano in our living room or that the queen of our house is a kitchen island that we want to dazzle. For this type of case, the sobriety and elegance of a thick dark floor are also usually recommended, which will give all the presence of a hard wood floor while it will adequately accompany the star of the room so that it stays in the limelight.
