shades of dark

Choosing a dark floor as the final part of the interior, many owners are tormented with the choice of a suitable color. If a black color it's pretty clear that it is not easy to choose between chocolate and wenge.

Here there are absolutely working rules based on the perception of colors as a whole, its interaction with the main components - walls, furniture:

• give boudoir, luxurious appearance of any room - deep rich purple, blue, anthracite-gray shades that appear black, but they are not. One or two dark walls enhance the effect.

Caution: too gloomy

More comfortable than a combination of dark flooring and light walls for a living, it is difficult to come up with. But it is not necessary to combine with all the basic items of furniture. Upholstered furniture can be a lemon-yellow, pale olive.

If you do not want to duet with a calm light beige, and I want to brightness, dynamics - accent color is very catchy look to contrast with the dark surface: red, turquoise, trendy neon. Furniture can be as colored and non-standard, as far as your imagination will allow.

Only by long turn create successful combinations in terms of the perception of the interior completely in dark colors, when a clever aesthetics wins gloom. But the result, like the bohemian chic, exactly original.

Doors, notable architectural components should not enter into dissonance with the horizontal plane, but one tone are inappropriate. They are chosen in tune with the walls, especially for soothing style (Scandinavian).

With regard to the overlap with the execution of a ceiling, there it all depends on the altitude. Close to the black floor and ceiling with white background side - to expand the space, but will reduce the height.

If the purpose of the room - an office, a library, a living room may then be appropriate anturazhnye techniques like coffered ceilings (monophonic or combined). Run in tune with the dark floor - a bold decision, immediately adding of status, respectability. For the country, some authentic variations - beams on a white background.

special places

As a rule, the smallest in size, however, the bathroom and the hallway - a very important place for a holistic perception of the house. There should not be afraid of gloom. If you make a small space uniformly dark throughout the volume, turn the effect of blurring the boundaries. Effect of tightness, stiffness persists a sufficient amount of light, large mirrors, which is typical for these zones.

For these zones, the dark floor heating - optimal solution. It will create a lot of styles and variations. Trendy loft is manifested in the form of a white brick accent wall. It perfectly matches the extremely dark under his feet. Result: street chic to the hall, stylish urban "wet zone."

The most current bathroom trends:

• spa - in company with numerous wood surface, white fluffy towels;
• mosaic design for uniqueness, originality, strengthening ethnic moments;
• two monochrome (black horizontal, vertical white) plus a mirrored ceiling, from the yellow metal accessories - a radiant glamor, female version of a bath-dream.

Attention! It should take into account the risk of leaving fingerprints, traces of water divorces, particularly in gloss.

Kitchen and features connections

Kitchen, especially combined with other areas (living room, dining) - a place which has a functional effect on the choice of floor covering. Without combining tiles with an alternative wooden materials (parquet, laminate) is not enough.

Several aesthetic design recommendations that you can take note of and for the other cases:

• Pick up the perfect combination in terms of perception is problematic - they are two different opposing material, even in the same color, they will look different.
• Actuate calm contrast, for example non-aggressive with vanilla black, light gray.
• Add to dark in color companion couple: cold shades of green (mint, turquoise).
• Selected first patterned ornamental tile or a stone. Already it - a dark wooden surface in the color of streaks of stone, drawing elements.
• For a modern minimalist form - the basis of the interior. Dark floor made of stone, "flows" in the bar, a table-top, apron, on a white background - a bold design course.

Consider compound different floor coverings for different rooms or zones. For example, the black tiles - the same nut. Or use invisible narrow joint profile.

To contact the boundaries between the two materials was a success, it is necessary to invest in financial flawless floor leveling. Then at the junction there will be no noticeable seam, which is handy when cleaning.

All examples of interiors with dark floor to encourage it to not be afraid to experiment. But taking into account the specific points of use, not just aesthetically pleasing, but also practical load, you can create the perfect design. As befits the best of all possible, a successful solution, this option should be accompanied by the owner through the years, delighting daily.
