Dark floors
Dark colours on wood floors are poised
to become a leading trend. They offer
a sophisticated and dramatic aesthetic
for modern homes and interiors. Deep
colours such as brown-stoned oak,
smoke oak, or black-stained ash evoke
a sense of timeless elegance while
creating a striking contrast against
lighter walls and furniture. Dark
wood floors act as a solid foundation,
anchoring the space and providing a
sense of warmth and depth.
In an era where minimalist design
meets personal character, dark floors
strike the perfect balance between
classic and contemporary. They
highlight details like rugs, furniture
and artwork, contributing to a
dynamic and inviting environment.
Furthermore, dark floors are an
excellent choice for creating a
luxurious feel in both small spaces and
large, open areas.
