Mixing and matching flooring colors can add depth and interest to your home. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

1. Contrasting Light and Dark

  • Idea: Pair light-colored flooring (e.g., white oak or light grey LVP) with dark accents (e.g., espresso wood furniture or charcoal rugs).
  • Effect: Creates a striking visual contrast and adds dimension to your space.
  • Best For: Open-concept living areas or modern kitchens.

2. Monochromatic Neutrals

  • Idea: Use varying shades of the same neutral tone (e.g., beige carpet with taupe walls and greige furniture).
  • Effect: Achieves a cohesive, calming look that feels effortlessly elegant.
  • Best For: Bedrooms or home offices.
