Give your house a rustic look, use dark wood flooring

Making   your house look beautiful both on the inside and the outside is not a very   simple task. There are various things that need to be taken into   consideration while choosing the right things to decorate the various   sections of the house.

As far as interior designing is concerned, flooring is the most   important task that must be done with proper care. There are other tasks that   have direct impact on the appearance too but the flooring is given great   importance because this is something that is common to the entire house. If   the flooring is not done properly or if the design and colour of the floor   does not match with the remaining items present inside the house, then the   overall attractiveness will be damaged instead of being   enhanced.

These days there are a large number of flooring options available   in the market. Choosing the one that is most suited to the design of our   house is a process that must be done with care. Among the various popular   flooring options, dark wood flooring is an important one.

CREATE CONTRAST:

It is up to us whether to choose a contrasting style or a   complimentary style for the flooring. But if we choose to go for a   contrasting style then dark wood flooring would indeed be a very wise   decision. Since they are generally available in dark shades, they create a   stunning contrast with the lighter coloured items in the house. Also if the walls   are coloured with a light shade, then the whole room would look alive with   dark wood flooring. One problem that is accompanied with using these as a   flooring option is that the room looks darker. So if sufficient natural light   doesn’t enter the room then seeing would become difficult.

MAINTANANCE COSTS:

Maintenance cost is a key factor that determines whether a   flooring type is feasible or not. In the case of dark wood flooring   maintenance costs are kept at a minimum. Since they are dark coloured, shoe   marks and other dust particles do not show much on the   surface.

DURABILITY:

This is another important factor that is key while selecting the   flooring type. Dark wood floors are very much unaffected by the wear and tear   that floors are often subjected to. Durability of dark wood floor is so good.   It can last for many years if they are maintained properly.
