What Color Should My Flooring Be?

Welcome back to Bravo Blogs! We’re Bravo Team Contracting and wanted to go in a different direction today. A while back, we had set up a guide for choosing the right flooring, but how can you choose the best color for your flooring, and a color that goes along with your home’s theme? Choosing a flooring color might seem like a small detail, but it plays a significant role in defining your space’s overall look and feel. The right floor color can enhance your design, complement your furniture, and even affect the mood of a room. That’s why we put together this list of top tips to help you make the best decision. Let’s get started!

1. Consider the Size of the Room: Color can alter the perception of space. Lighter flooring shades—like soft oak, pale grey, or light beige—can make a small room feel more open and airy. Conversely, darker colors—such as rich walnut or espresso—can add warmth and coziness, perfect for larger spaces where you want to create a more intimate feel.

2. Think About the Room’s Natural Lighting: Natural light will affect your floor color throughout the day. Rooms that get a lot of sunlight can handle cooler or darker tones, as the light balances them out. Dimmer rooms often benefit from lighter, warmer hues to brighten the space.

Pro tip: Look at flooring samples at different times of the day in your space to see how lighting affects color.

3. Match Your Flooring to Your Design Style: Your overall aesthetic can guide you in the right direction:

Modern or minimalist designs often look great with grey or whitewashed tones.
Rustic or farmhouse styles pair well with warm browns and natural wood looks.
Traditional interiors tend to favor classic medium-toned woods like cherry or chestnut.

Consistency is key—your flooring should flow with your wall colors, cabinetry, and furniture to create a cohesive look.

4. Think About Maintenance and Wear: Darker floors can show dust, pet hair, and scratches more easily, while light floors may highlight dirt and shoe marks. If you’re worried about upkeep, mid-tone flooring often offers the best balance between style and practicality. Textured or distressed finishes can also help disguise wear over time.

5. Don’t Forget Your Style: Your space should reflect you. Choose a color that makes you feel good and fits your lifestyle. Your flooring will be with you for years, so make sure it’s something you’ll love long term.
