Black flooring is quite an ambiguous element of the interior. On the one hand — it is an invariable classic. But on the other hand — when choosing a floor covering, many people prefer not to experiment and choose more neutral shades, arguing that the dark finish will make the space more gloomy.

Advantages of using black flooring

Despite the growing popularity of black floors, the dark flooring is not as popular as, for example, brown wood flooring. The fact is that for the comfortable use of such products, it is necessary to take into account some nuances:
many people fear that the dark coating will visually reduce the area of space, and in some ways this is indeed true. Dark surface does not reflect the light, but on the contrary — absorbs it, it must be taken into account when planning the interior: it is better to give preference to light wall decoration, it will balance the color scheme of the room, due to which its metrage will not seem visually smaller;
for rooms with black floors, you need to choose the right lighting. On the location of lighting devices depends largely on whether or not the dark covering will visually decrease the room. If you opted for a matte finish, it is better to arrange the lighting so that the rays of light were directed not to the floor, and in the side for even dispersion. Also for dark floors, multilevel lighting is great. It is able to slightly expand the boundaries of the room and make any space wider and brighter;
to care for a glossy dark floor is much more difficult than the matte. Therefore, if you do not want to constantly clean the flooring from even the smallest dirt, it is better to give preference to a matte surface.
