When furnishing our home or choosing flooring, we like it all to match and balance together. At the base of our room and under our furniture lies your flooring. Choosing the right flooring is crucial when trying to match your decor. Oak flooring is perfect when you want to match it to your existing furniture and decor due to it’s huge array of colours, styles and textures.
The Simplistic Appeal
If you prefer a simplistic look and prefer furniture arrangement over cluttered space, we recommend a beech solid wood flooring as it is light, minimalistic and appealing whilst giving the impression of a light airy atmosphere. It’s knocked back detail enhances the surrounding room design and furnishing. Add in a tall, white bookcase and lightly coloured, soft texture sofa to perfect the minimalistic look.
Traditional Look
With retro furniture making a huge comeback and up-cycled furniture sellers popping up in high streets again, many homes are taking up this trend and purchasing a single centre piece to set off a room. These centre pieces include old rustic chests and trunks, heavy wooden tables or factory style lighting.
With this type of room we would recommend an antique oak solid wood flooring couple with sepia lighting. The more worn and distressed the oak flooring becomes, the better effect it will have on the room.
The Rustic Look
The country living look can look great in any home. You don’t need to be in a country cottage in the middle of nowhere to create this stunning style. It’s never too clever to go for a singular rustic theme to create this look. We recommend mixing the style of woods on view with an oak solid wood flooring coupled with chestnut chairs against a lighter palette on the walls.
Country living has always been defined by rich, deep wood furniture. Traditional homes may still opt for a mahogany dining table, or a display case made from dark solid beech.
