Matching the floor colour withe your white walls is essential in creating a cohesive living space.If the floors don’t match the walls you definitely are going to have a problem. Choosing the perfect flooring to match your walls is arguably the most important design decision you will make. So what floors look the best with white walls?
The best colour palette to stick with would be very light or very dark wood. The best thing about white walls is that they open up a vast array of opportunities for you to get creative with your home’s flooring. Going light or dark on the colour wheel is going to turn out the best when it comes to your flooring decision. You cannot go wrong with white walls.
The floors should be lighter or darker than walls?
Flooring can really tie a space together and make it amazing or not so great. White walls should be paired with a lighter wood to complement the space better than darker colours will. Dark floors can look very good with white or lighter coloured walls but do give off a more severe look.
Light floors tend to show less wear and tear while also being easier to maintain and clean. Dark wood or carpet can even create an illusion that your space may be unclean, which we want to always avoid.
The lighter colours really open up the space and give off clean and comfortable energy. If you do prefer dark colours, try using a darker palette for your furniture. Lighter flooring alongside white walls has really become a standard in home design.
The dark wood complements the lighter walls and finishings within this space very well. Dark paired with very light colours do tend to complement each other, but they walk a very narrow line. Darker flooring shows dust and hair more than a lighter floor will and that may be a deal breaker for pet owners.
