It should pay attention to the fact that the tone of the walls andlaminate did not match, otherwise the effect of the box will arise. How correctly to combine color gamut of floors and walls? What mistakes can be allowed, and how to prevent them? These are the questions that should be asked when starting the final stage of the repair.

Such a floor looks solid and noble, shading the lightness and "airiness" of the walls. Won in this interior will look dark furniture, whose shapes and texture will be clearly stand out against the background of light wallpaper. Visually reduce the space and focus on horizontal lines will help a combination of dark shades of wallpaper with a light-colored floor covering. This will save the room from excessive elongation. Reach the opposite result and "stretch" the room can be, covering the walls with light wallpaper in combination with a light floor.

Often the question arises, how to choose a laminate to a dark room? There definitely should not be laid dark floors, so as not to create a gloomy, hopeless atmosphere, evoking boredom and spleen. White laminate is better rejected by families with small children and pets. The struggle for the purity of these sexes can become paranoid. It is better to stay on beige options. The sides of the world, to which your rooms go, also play a decisive role in the selection of color shades. Northern rooms are better to decorate in light and warm colors. Gray laminate on the north side can create a feeling of "permafrost". Warm woody textures will recreate the comfort of the home. The cold palette is more suitable for the southern side, subject to solar attacks. It will help create a feeling of "coolness". Back to contents</a>
