Generally speaking, solid wood flooring is the first choice for modern home decoration due to its good comfort and foot feel.

In fact, solid wood floor matching is also important. Today, we will tell you some skills of wood floor color matching in home decoration. We hope that it is useful for you when you install new wood flooring for your home.

1. According to the area of the house

As we mentioned at the beginning, different tones will give people different visual effects. If the space of your home is small, you had better to choose a simple and bright dark-tone floor, which will give you the feeling of increasing area. On the contrary, if the space of your house is large, the large area of house is suitable for flooring with darker colors and textures, because the thick warm wood floor makes the room relatively compact. Small rooms are suitable for small-grained or straight-grained floors, and large rooms can be used with large and messy patterns.

2. According to the lighting conditions of the house

Usually the lighting conditions of the house determine the color choice of floor. The lighting of the room should be matched with the color of wood flooring in the room. If the lighting effect of the house is good, then you can choose a wider range of shades, which depend on your preference. If the floor is low, the house with insufficient daylight should choose the ground material with higher brightness and suitable color to improve the brightness of the room.

3. Psychological age of people

Psychological age of people determine the things of their appreciation at different ages. Young people like floors with full colors and strong color impact, so that they appear energetic and consistent with their youthful atmosphere. And middle-aged people are mature, and they often have their own aesthetics. In a clear tone, they mostly prefer light-colored, elegant and quiet floors. But older people like heavy, solid, magnificent and luxurious wood floors.

4. Matching with furniture

The floor color should set off the color of the furniture, and the main tone should be calm and soft. Because the floor decoration is a permanent decoration, under normal circumstances, it will not be changed frequently, so you had better to choose a neutral color. In terms of color tone, light-colored furniture can be combined with dark and light-colored wooden floors, but the matching of dark-colored furniture and dark wooden floors must be extra careful to avoid the whole room being too dark and creating a depressive feeling.
