The right combination of black flooring with furniture - the key to a successful result. With the competent selection of additional shades, you can get an original and stylish interior.

The main advantage of black is that it improves the appearance of even a simple, plain armchair or an old sofa in the style of the 80s. Thus, a cozy and modern atmosphere is created.

The choice of finishing material

Tile

Black ceramic tiles look expensive and trendy, especially if it is matte or marbled. So that the black tile does not “eat up” the space, it is recommended to use dark shades as color accents: the floor should be done in black, and the walls should be done in white or other pastel shades, so the room will practically not decrease visually.

Wood (laminate and parquet)

A black wooden floor always looks more expensive and spectacular than a light wood of the same quality. Dark laminate and parquet bring a sense of strength and reliability to the room. Natural materials will improve the appearance, create the style and perfection of the interior, especially the black oak floor.

Glossy or matte floor?

The glossy floor in the interior looks fresh and unusual, it visually increases the height of the ceilings in the room, so dark shades will not “eat” the space.

The matte floor looks expensive and extraordinary. It fills the room with calm and “fullness”, creating a soft, but very interesting accent.

How to choose the color of the walls?

For a black contrasting floor, it is best to choose neutral shades for the design of the walls. It goes well with not only bright, but also with light, basic colors. All shades of gray, beige and white further emphasize the texture and contrast of the floor. And also, such a combination visually “expands” the walls, making the room harmonious, cozy and original.

The combination with the color of the ceiling

The black floor looks versatile and can easily be combined with other colors.To prevent dark colors from “eating up” the space, it is advisable to make only one dark accent, and leave the furniture, walls and ceiling in light, soft shades.

The dark floor is combined with a dark ceiling and light walls. Thus, the space expands, and the height of the room decreases slightly. This technique is necessary if you need to visually "push" the walls and slightly reduce the height of the room.

Bedroom

Due to the dark floor, the bedroom may seem too “heavy” to avoid this, it is worth diluting the room with light shades. It can be decor items, the color of the walls and ceiling, as well as furniture. It is not necessary to use exclusively light furniture, it can be combined: in such a room a bright bed with a dark chest of drawers and a nightstand will harmoniously look.

Corridor and hallway

There is not enough natural light in the corridors and hallways, so as not to make the room heavier, it is recommended to confine ourselves only to the dark floor and the framing of mirrors or parts (switches, door handles, pouf, paintings).

Combination with other colors.
