Dark laminate flooring

The dark floor is able to give any room a new unusual look. The deep shades of various colors with the right combination will not be gloomy, but will give the interior nobleness and chic.

Advantages and disadvantages

Any floor covering has both advantages and disadvantages. Dark laminate is no exception. One of the main drawbacks is that garbage and dust are visible on the dark floor. Also on the dark laminate there will be traces of shoes if it is not perfectly clean.

The way out of this situation may be regular wet cleaning or the purchase of a robot vacuum cleaner. At the same time, there is a little trick: on a matte laminate, dirt is less noticeable than on a varnished one. The glossy surface also loses sight from small scratches. Areas most susceptible to contamination and damage can be covered with rugs. Also, this disadvantage of a dark coating can be compensated by choosing a model with bright spots.

Another disadvantage of a dark laminate is its whimsicality in the selection of other interior elements. Wrong choice of tone of walls and ceilings can turn a cozy room into a dark room. And it’s enough to make a mistake of just a few tones.

Also a disadvantage is the ability of the dark floor to reduce the room. Therefore, it is contraindicated in small rooms with low ceilings and limited lighting. This problem can be solved by combining the methods of visual increase in space:

• light walls and ceiling;
• vertical stripes;
• mirrors and reflective particles in coatings;
• An abundance of lighting and natural light.

Among the advantages is that a dark laminate always looks more expensive and more effective than a light one of the same quality. This property of this flooring allows you to create a unique interior for little money. It is enough to correctly combine all the details.

The dark floor brings to the room a sense of reliability and durability of its base. In this room, visitors will feel comfortable and protected.

With such a laminate, the contrast of colors looks most impressive. In this way, the interior can be given spectacular effect without special labor and unnecessary costs.

Variety and properties of dark shades

Despite some restrictions on the use and design of the dark floor laminate in the design of the rooms, there is room for imagination. The main purpose of using this coating is to create a chic interior.

To begin with, you should decide on a shade of dark laminate. Manufacturers offer a wide selection of variety of assortment. Each color affects the interior in its own way. A warm chocolate shade looks expensive. He is able to give the living room coziness for family meetings and peace for conducting leisurely conversations with friends. Also, this shade is able to ennoble the office and give the image of its owner decisiveness and brutality.

The most common are imitations of wooden coatings. Among them are many dark shades. With the help of this floor, chic can also be given by similarity with expensive wood species. In addition, it will be possible to achieve naturalness, which has been fashionable for more than one year.

The "wooden" laminate looks great with exposed ceiling beams. Country - style requires the use of wooden flooring, and with a lack of funds, the laminate will become a salvation. The rooms, stylized as hunting or fishing houses, will look finished if there is a high-quality imitation of a dark floor board on the floor. In this interior, the fireplace and the skin of a bear on the floor will look especially organic.

For fans of unusual surroundings, a black floor is suitable. More often it is used to create the background of modern interiors. Such a laminate is suitable for a minimalist style and a high-tech room.

Dark gray tones are more suitable for public spaces:

• Offices
• the shops;
• receptionists of officials;
• classrooms;
• common areas.

This is due to the coldness that gray has. For the living room, it is worth choosing a different tone, since it will be extremely difficult to shoe a room with a gray floor.

The combination of dark laminate with other elements of the interior

Designers recommend using dark floors to create contrasting interiors. To a greater extent this is due to the fact that the combination of dark floors with dark walls can be used only in large rooms in which an oppressive state of tight space does not appear.

A dark laminate backdrop will be a great base for bright spots. It is not necessary that these be other colors. You can choose light shades of the same color. For example, a dark brown floor will harmonize with coffee and beige shades of light tones. Here you can use everything: curtains, furniture, paintings and their frames, wallpapers and other details. This method will help create a cozy soft atmosphere in any room.

If the innate taste is not a strong point of the person who is engaged in the design of such a room, then a win-win option will be to choose the following shades for combination with a dark laminate:

• caramel;
• beige;
• pearl;
• baked milk;
• tea rose;
• straw;
• Champagne
• ecru.

These shades will give the perfect combination and allow you to make the right choice.

A bolder solution would be a black and white interior. Strict black floors and snow-white walls with a ceiling will create the desired contrast. Such a design decision will give originality to the hallway, living room and other similar places. For a bedroom or a nursery, such sudden transitions are undesirable, as they can cause overexcitation. Pale colors will help to soften the interior, and you can add dynamism with the help of rich colors: orange, green, red.

For black and white interiors, geometric patterns and straight lines will be appropriate. Laconicism of the situation will balance the sharpness of contrast.

When choosing dark floors, it should be remembered that they emphasize and enhance the influence of any other color. Therefore, for a living room, an excess of active vibrant colors in combination with a dark laminate may be inappropriate and cause irritation to visitors. To achieve harmony, it is enough to adhere to the principle of moderation. Then the dark floors will show all their advantages and will delight guests.
