Our top tips for matching your floors and furniture

When you’re planning a home interior design makeover, you have to make what feels like a hundred tiny decisions. After a while, it’s tempting to just go with the first option because that’s easiest, but making snap decisions like that could have a negative effect on your final look. It’s important to consider all your options, from wall treatments to wood flooring choices, and how your furniture fits with both.

Starting your interior design project with a blank canvas is always best, but not all of us have that luxury. It’s often necessary to hold onto furniture items when you decide to switch to wood flooring. Perhaps your furniture is still new and in good condition, perhaps you have some items that have sentimental value, or perhaps buying new furniture is just too expensive. Whether you’re matching a new wood floor to existing furniture, or updating to new furniture after installing a new wood floor, we’ve made it easy to match your floors to your furniture with these 3 pro tips.

1. Look at the undertones in your wood floors and furniture

With so many color options, you can get lost browsing our collection of wood flooring. We have it all, from Dark and rich engineered wood floors that match well with dark leather couches and heavy wood tables to Light and Bright Wood Tones that pair perfectly with neutral upholstery and light linen.

2. Use metal furniture with wood floors

If you’re looking to make a statement with your interior design, the contrast between wood and shiny steel will always make an impact. Because they’re completely different materials, almost any shade of wood will look stunning with metal furniture.

3. Contrasting grains in wood floors and furniture

We’ve mentioned matching light and dark tones and contrasting materials like wood and metal, but if you’re looking for something in the middle, then contrasting Wood Grains might be the right answer. Wood grain refers to the lines and textures in the wood. With an open grain, you can see knots and pores in the wood, and with a closed or fine grain, the lines are thinner. Matching and contrasting wood grains is just one of the factors that could influence your wood flooring choice. H2 Our bonus rule for choosing wood floors and furniture Body When in doubt, revert to this one simple rule. Larger, heavy furniture always works better with darker wood floors. A light floor would be overpowered by oversized furniture, just like a dark wood floor would swallow up and overpower delicate furniture.
