Features of using light canvases
If it is decided to lay a light-colored coating on the floor, then when decorating a room, you can also use a dark-colored finish, but you must follow a few important rules:

- The number of dark elements should be minimal.
- If furniture and other accessories are in a contrasting color, it should ideally match the color of the floor, and the contrast itself should not be very pronounced. Such an option as a dark brown shade with red, white, lemon, will not work - they are very different and will cause discomfort.
- If it is decided to decorate the room in one color scheme, allelements above should be lighter.
- If doors, windows and walls will be in a contrasting color, to slightly smooth the transition from the dark floor, you need to use a medium-colored skirting board between the shade of the floor and other surfaces.
