Tips for Mixing Different Flooring Styles
- Choose colours in the same palette. When you pick out paint for your walls, you’ve probably noticed that the sample colour strips have several colours in the same family that go well together. Choosing flooring that blends well follows the same idea. If your carpet is in the light brown family, choose flooring that is also in the brown family and has a bit of the carpet’s colour mixed in.
- Consider transitions. If you have natural materials, such as wood and tile, you don’t want your transition strip to stand out because it is shiny silver. Your flooring specialist can help you choose a transition that will be less noticeable and help flooring styles blend together seamlessly.
- Know which styles look good together. There are some rules of thumb, such as using wood and stone, different hardwoods, or wood and granite. If you’re unsure about which types of flooring look best next to each other, talk to a flooring specialist and look at samples side by side.
