Before decorating an apartment or house, you need to think about choosing a color scheme, so you should draw the interior of all rooms in advance. Black floors look very impressive, which will be discussed below.
The right combination of shades
The correct use of black in the interior will allow you to get a non-standard and absolutely unique room. To prevent it from looking gloomy, boring and impractical, you need to properly match the flooring with the surrounding decor, furniture, etc.
The black floor can only be done taking into account the general recommendations for use. To make the room look as beautiful as possible, it is impossible: to use only this color in the design and choose it for finishing small rooms. As for furniture and other decorative elements, it is worth stopping at contrasting colors. The combination of black and white will make the interior win-win, beautiful and original. More specific recommendations for using shades for each room are given below.
Pros and cons
The black floor in the house looks unusual, respectable, elegant and very rich. Among its meritsyou need to highlight: comfort, the effect of strength and reliability, the ability to play on contrasts by adding multi-colored finishing materials, carpets, furniture, chandeliers, etc. Such an interior will look bright and impressive.
Dark floors have several drawbacks:
- it visually reduces the space (you can smooth out the effect with light or striped walls);
- small dust particles, villi, footprints are very noticeable on it (you will have to clean it very often).
If you use a matte finish, then the debris will not be so noticeable. Glossy and lacquered materials, on the contrary, will not work: they quickly become covered with noticeable scratches. The problem with dust can be solved by choosing a black matte finish with small light streaks or by using carpets.
Material selection
Before you finish the house, you need to decide on the material for each room. It is best to choose for the floor: tile, bulk coating, linoleum, laminate and wood. Tiles are perfect for bathrooms and kitchens, while other materials are perfect for living spaces. In addition to a dark shade, they may have some original pattern.
The black floor in the kitchen and bathroom should not be glossy - it is very dangerous. It is better to choose a matte and rough surface. In addition, the coating in “wet” rooms should be moisture resistant, durable, resistant to various detergents and easy to clean.
Bedroom
To get comfortable and beautifulbedroom, you can choose a black floor (laminate, parquet, bulk coating). Light elements will help to get rid of gloom in the interior: furniture, carpets, wallpaper, curtains, bedding.
Black finish can look great not only with light, but also with dark shades. You should not choose a pure white color, it is better to stay on a cream or white tone mixed with some other. Perfectly enliven the interior of the bedroom with bright decorative elements. It is not necessary to make floors and doors of the same color - it is better if they are contrasting. Skirting boards should be the same shade as the doors.
Sample bedroom interior design: dark flooring, white ceilings, wallpaper with black and white horizontal stripes, curtains with a large black and white pattern.
Living room
The living room is a special room in which it should be comfortable and respectable. It should contain rich shades, because they create the effect of calm and comfort. The black floor in the living room will look good if you create contrasting combinations and provide enhanced lighting. It is very important that the coating creates a single ensemble with furniture, walls and ceiling. Below are some examples of the design of this room.
1. The traditional version is based on the opposite of colors, that is, on contrast. Bright carpets and colored furniture fit well into such an interior.
2. An excellent combination of black coating with rich wallpaper and light decorativeelements.
3. Quite a harmonious combination - a dark floor and cream walls. You can also experiment with blue, green and turquoise shades. The white plinth will look original.
Kitchen
Stains, footprints, dirt are very visible on the black floors, so they are rarely used in the kitchen. However, experts advise choosing a material with a small pattern - then there will be much less problems. The black floor looks solid and noble with white, milk and cream facades. If the color of the kitchen set and the coating are the same, then you can divide the “array” with a contrasting plinth.
Bright furniture and black color should be combined carefully. Although such an interior looks spectacular, it will cause irritation among the owners of the house. If there is extra space on the floor, you can put a light rug (in the color of the walls, facades or any decorative elements). The room looks very unusual when black tiles are laid on the floor and grouted in a contrasting color.
Glossy floors laid in a diagonal direction (tiles, moisture-resistant laminate, linoleum with a fine pattern) are suitable for small rooms. Their surface will create a reflection effect and visually enlarge the kitchen. Black ceilings and light walls will help expand the space. In this case, it is important to pay attention to the presence of a sufficient number of lighting fixtures (chandeliers, sconces, floor lamps, spotlights).
You can complement the kitchen:
- black ortwo-tone curtains;
- painted cornice;
- dark paintings, sets, vases;
- bright decorative elements.
Bathroom
You can create a beautiful interior in the bathroom if you make a black floor in it (photo can be seen below). The main rule is color harmony. If the choice fell on a dark tile, then on the walls it should be at a minimum. For wall decoration, white is best, and decorative elements can be dark. Do not make the walls and floor of the same color, otherwise the room will visually decrease and will press.
In small bathrooms, do not do black horizontal stripes. But with the help of vertical stripes, you can perform zoning of space, for example, highlight a bath, washbasin, toilet bowl, or even divide it into zones (for washing, showering, cleaning, washing).
Black flooring is expensive, beautiful, chic. This color must be used correctly so that the room is comfortable and unusual. Otherwise, the owners of the house will have many problems.
