Why I Love Neutral Floors

With contemporary interiors taking hold of the décor world, it’s not surprising that neutral floors are a good way to go. Some might think that neutral floors can be dull, boring or lack character but it’s not true! Not only can they make your home feel more spacious, but they also make it much easier to match the rest of your décor. So, let’s go through some of my favourites.
Dreamy Cream
Who said cream was restricted to the walls? There’s a reason it’s so popular with interior and your floors are no exception. A colour like cream is very easy to combine with pretty much every colour, so you won’t need to worry about your floor going with things if you do decide to change the wall colour or furniture. Patterns or a bold colour, they’ll create the perfect contrast against each other. One of the most popular creamy floors is vinyl, ideal if you’re looking to redecorate your home on a tighter budget.
It’s All About Grey These Days
Grey floors have risen in popularity significantly in recent years and I can only see them becoming even more popular. The best thing about grey flooring is that it’s so versatile, whether you want something dark and traditional or something rustic, there’s always an option when it comes to grey. Trends come and go, but with grey, you’re investing in a truly timeless colour, so if you’re not looking to redecorate every now and then, grey is exactly what you need!
White Washed Wood is The New Black
There would be no point in this unless I at least mentioned white floors. It perfectly fits the Scandinavian interior look as well as a stunning contemporary appeal too, offering a calm and fresh look. The best option when it comes to choosing a white floor is wood, as the knots and grains give the white variation rather than just plain. This is ideal if you enjoy a rustic or shabby chic look. Again like all the neutral floors white washed wood will go with all sorts of colours and furniture perfectly. If solid wood isn’t suitable for your home or budget, then engineered wood is a cheaper alternative or even go for laminate.
However, take into consideration you might need to replace or change your skirting boards if you do opt for a change in flooring. This could be because the carpet had underlay under it, making it lie much higher than you new flooring will. Plus, if you’re going to the trouble to have new flooring put in, you might as well go the whole hog and make it look amazing with new skirting boards to match too.
