Light or Dark Flooring: The LVT Solution

Published on 15 November 2023 at 13:34

We cannot emphasize how important colour and pattern is when choosing the right luxury vinyl flooring solution for your home.

At Galloway Flooring in Manchester, we know that exploration of various colour palettes and styles can be just as confusing as it can be fun. If you need help in determining whether dark or light-coloured LVT is better suited to your home, this article is for you.

 

In order to get a better understanding of which LVT type is best suited, you have to consider the makeup of your house. Do you own pets? Do you have children or roommates? 

Both dark and light colours have unique benefits, with an ability to hide various types of debris, such as pet hair or crumbs.

 

Small House vs Big House

The size and style of your home and its rooms will greatly help you decide which colours are best suited within LVT.

Dark flooring helps to make a room feel smaller, whilst lighter tones provide a sense of the room being much bigger than it is. To make your room seem larger, we would recommend a lighter LVT colour to add the illusion of space to smaller, confined rooms. You should also factor in the existing decor and paint palette of your room, especially if the room is being retrofitted and will have a consistent cabinet or wallpaper scheme.

The type of lighting you also choose for the room will play a factor, whether it is natural light or from artificial sources.

 

Dark Flooring Tiles

Many customers choose dark flooring LVT to provide a warm, dramatic and elegant look. Dark LVT brings a striking contrast for bright or light-coloured rooms, making them suitable for areas where a lot of natural light can help to reduce the brightness and prevent glare.

Dark vinyl flooring tiles are less prone to fading and are able to work with various design styles, from farmhouse rustic looks to modern minimalism. Dark tiles are great in making your room seem smaller and more cosy, also able to hide debris and dirt that gets tracked in on your shoes, enabling a much smoother resale value on your home if you choose to sell.

 

Light Flooring Tiles

The key reason customers opt for light flooring tiles is that they prefer the look of natural beauty in their rooms with a wider range of design aesthetics.

Lighter colours provide a more organic and casual feel to your home by emphasizing the decor on top and around it. That allows for darker furniture or cabinet sets to truly stand out by contrasting with the flooring. Light luxury vinyl flooring colours brighten up the room by reflecting any available light souce.

Additionally, lighter colours make the rooms feel much larger and open, contributing to a much cleaner look and environment. Light coloured LVT are better at hiding scratches, making them ideal for pet owners and small families.
