THE MEANING OF COLOUR IN YOUR INTERIOR
The colours of your floor, ceiling and walls have a strong impact on how you will experience the room.
Depending on the choice and combinations you make, you can change the specific style and atmosphere
of the room in question.

THE IMPACT OF LIGHT AND DARK
Did you know that you can make a particular room look larger, warmer, narrower, deeper or longer simply
by playing with the colours of the floor, ceiling and walls?
GENERAL RULE
As a general rule light tints make a room appear larger, while darker colours make it seem smaller. Of course,
the colour of your floor also plays an important role in this.
LIGHT FLOORS
Light-coloured floors will make a room more airy and optically larger. Moreover, light tints give a room a clean,
rustic and timeless look.
Light wooden floors go very well together with darker furniture and make for a surprising combination.
DARK FLOORS
Dark floors are ideal to create contrast. They combine well with light walls or with other dark colours used to
add a note or as accessories.
Too many dark colours will produce a sombre effect at the expense of the overall atmosphere. So make sure to
add a few striking accessories in the interior.

THE EFFECT OF GROOVES ON YOUR INTERIOR
