5 Tips To Pair Dark Floors With Light Walls

One interior design trend we're loving right now is pairing dark floors with light walls. Photo of real wood floors

First, consider your personal design style. If your style is traditional, you can achieve a rustic or traditional look with dark brown flooring and a cream colored wall like the living room above. Photo by Naomi Hébert on Unsplash

If you opt for a lighter hue or shade of gray in your floor, you can achieve a more contemporary or even funky look (partly depending on the furniture you choose which we'll get to in a moment). Whichever color you prefer in terms of dark gray, brown or black, you can also use paint to achieve the look you are looking for. If you don't know what to do in a small room, consider painting the floors a similar color to the walls. We've seen some really fun floors, in both traditional and contemporary home and office settings, painted with patterns like checkerboards and simple horizontal stripes. If you want to lighten the mood of the room, choose a gray wall paint that matches your floor but is several shades lighter. If you're remodeling an older home or updating your own that has weathered brown or orange trim, you'll want to choose a color that complements your floor. Choose wood as pictured above, and also consider metal to create a contemporary look. To keep your spaces from looking too much like one of the cave scenes from The Goonies, it's wise to choose lighter furniture. You may want to match the floor more closely to your rustic style; again, just go a little lighter so your room doesn't seem too one-dimensional or dark. Fireplace - The Brick & Board Collection
