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

The main advantage of black is that it enhances the appearance of even a simple, uncomplicated 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 they are matte or marbled. To prevent black tiles from “eating up” the space, it is recommended to use dark shades as color accents:

• to perform the floor in black,
• and the walls are white or other pastel shades.

Thus, the room will practically not decrease visually.

Porcelain stoneware in the interior

Wood (laminate and parquet)

A black wood floor always looks more expensive and more effective than a light wood of the same quality. Dark laminate and parquet flooring brings a sense of durability and reliability to the room.

Natural materials will enhance the appearance, create 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 up" the space.

Matte floor looks expensive and extraordinary. It fills the room with calmness and "fullness", creating a soft but very interesting accent.

Which wall color to choose?

For a black contrasting floor, it is best to choose neutral shades for wall decoration. It goes well not only with bright, but also with light, basic colors. All shades of gray, beige and white will further emphasize the texture and contrast of the floor.

And yet, such a combination visually "expands" the walls, making the room harmonious, cozy and original.

Combination with ceiling color

The subfloor looks versatile and can be easily combined with other colors. So that dark colors do not "eat up" the space, it is advisable to make only one dark accent, and leave the pieces of furniture, walls and ceiling in light, soft shades.

The dark floor matches the 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 apart" the walls and slightly reduce the height of the room.
