How to Pick a Timeless Flooring Style
When it comes to flooring, there are a lot of different style options to choose from. In this post, we'll take a look at our hottest and trending flooring styles from recent So-Cal projects. We'll also give you some tips on what to consider when making your final flooring choice. Let's get started!
Neutral Tones: The neutral palette is the foundation for a home's color scheme in today's contemporary styles. Tone-on-tone is very popular, with designers often working multiple shades of browns, beiges, taupes or greys together. This gives rooms a serene, tranquil feeling. You can use this to your advantage when choosing flooring for your home by selecting colors and materials that fit within the same tonal range. For example, a light grey carpet or vinyl plank would go well with walls painted in a light beige, white, or taupe. Get Creative Tip: Introduce pops of color in the form of accents through your decor (rugs, pillows, lamps or artwork).
Minimalism: A timeless home style is often minimalistic. This is because white space gives distance between items to create a clean and simple vibe. You can achieve this same feeling in your home by choosing flooring that is sleek and uncluttered. Try patterns that are not too busy and that offer a uniform style throughout. Consider wide planks which can feel your home feel more "open" and which can break the busy look of narrow planks. Get Creative Tip: Avoid overcrowding rooms with too many items or bulky furniture.
Mixed textures: One way to avoid a contemporary and minimalistic home from looking too dull is to include heavy use of textures. For example, consider a silk throw pillow on a microfiber sofa or a woven basket on a wool rug. When choosing flooring, pick a color tone and finish layer that will match or complement the different fabrics that you have selected for your home. Get Creative Tip: Test some throw blankets in different colors and textures to your sofas.
