light laminate flooring vs dark laminate flooring
Comments (4)Hi Pauline, We think a subtle grey shade would work well in your space, helping to break up the cream and brown while playing off the duck egg blue. We imagine something in-between light and dark is what you could go for - have a think about something like our Nordic Oak: https://woodpeckerflooring.co.uk/product/wembury-nordic-oak/ What colour is your furniture? This could also help you decide....See MoreBright or dark wood flooring for a kitchen/ living room?
Comments (3)Hi Emily. In terms of the floor it depends on a couple of things. Dark floors are hard to keep looking clean so would consider upkeep. If the room isn't large a dark floor may also make it look smaller if you have light walls/skirting boards (the less contrast there is the bigger the room will feel). If the room doesn't get much light then a dark floor could make it feel dark although if it has a glossy/shiny finish it will bounce the light. For the kitchen units try and work with the light. What way does the room face and how much light does it get? Light worktops are much more on trend. Again if the room is dark I'd avoid a dark Matt finish worktop although something glossy will reflect the light. Depending on the room you could find lighter units may make it feel more spacious. I'm not sure if that helps but more details are probably needed!...See MoreDark vs Light wooden flooring
Comments (7)Hi Jen, what colours are you going for on the walls of this space? And do you have a lot of light coming in? Just remember that dark flooring can make a space feel smaller whereas light flooring can create an open, airy feel. We think your kitchen might lend itself to a lighter floor too - letting those black worktops really take the limelight. Here are some ideas below, a range of light ashen and warmer shades. Hope it all goes well for you.

Comments (13)Hi Danielle It's surely a dilemma, although judging by the stuff you already decided on, it's going to be lovely either way. Personally I'm leaning towards a dark floor, even though we decided on a lighter maple floor for ourselves. Really liking Minnie's suggestion too though. Have you thought about engineered wood? Seeing you have chosen some lovely natural materials like marble I think real wood will actually show its worth and with some shopping around you can find a decent quality (the thicker the veneer the better) for similar prices to (quality) laminate. We chose engineered wood for our floors some years ago and it still looks and feels great. Perhaps for kitchen areas it will need sealing after installing however. Hope that helps...
