There are many ways with which you can enlarge a small room or make a little less and more comfortable too large, using paints only. Consider some of them.

(light ceiling, darker walls, dark floor or the same combination in reverse order)

During the decoration of residential premises, gradient transitions are often used. For example, walls separating the light ceiling and a dark floor make the "intermediate" tone. This technique is used when finishing monochrome rooms, for example, in classic style. Similar combinations look very harmonious and stylish.

Gradient transitions Pleasants for the eyes and beneficially acting on the nervous system, making harmony and peace. Such a finish option can be used in any rooms.

Depending on the intensity of the shade of finishing materials, the furniture can be bright or dark. The rooms, the floors in which have the color of the dark chocolate, the ceilings - the color of fresh cream, and the walls are a shade of cocoa with milk. White, brown, black can be selected as additional or accent colors. Furniture for room with such a combination of floor colors, walls and ceiling can be of any shade, but desired - natural wood.

(Light ceiling, bright walls, dark floor)

When painting residential premises, in addition to gradient combinations of color walls, ceiling and floor, contrasting transitions are often used. Such a combination looks very winning. It is used in different styles, and helps to make the perception of the room more harmonious, "hiding" its shortcomings.

Low ceiling. If in the room too low ceilings, Choose light tones for the ceiling, and for floors - dark. Walls can also be contrasting. In the event that you use the wallpaper, choose from the floor to the ceiling of the drawings.

With this combination of floors of the floor, walls and ceiling it will seem that the height of the ceilings is greater than it really is. One condition: ceiling eaves should not be wide, and it is better to do without them at all. The contrast tint on the walls will create the impression of the depth, and the light ceiling will "soar" above this volume.

Narrow room. If indoors are not only a low ceiling, but also the wrong proportions - for example, it is stretched in length, it can be fixed. It is necessary to paint short walls into contrast tones, and elongated - neutral. This method will help "squeeze" the room in the desired direction, it will acquire more correct proportions.

In this way, light furniture seems to have a winning room, and bright color accessories will help create a memorable interior. Also expand narrow room Objects of furniture delivered across the room will help.

Bright hues

(Light ceiling and walls, dark floor)

The combination of colors in the room can add light and air to it. For example, in small rooms, as a rule, walls and ceiling are separated by light tones, and the floor, on the contrary, dark. The shade of paint on the walls and the ceiling should be as light as possible, better - white. Also white should be eternity, platbands and plinths, in extreme cases they can have a light shade of the main tone.

To strengthen the impression of air and avoid heavy, bulky furniture, bright upholsters. Let items be a bit - only the most necessary, with their shapes should not be too fried. On the dark floor Light carpets look good - they help zonate space and facilitate his perception.

Opposite colors

(Dark ceiling, floor and light walls Or bright ceiling, floor and dark walls)

Such a combination of wall colors, ceiling and floor are universal and can be applied in rooms with a different geometry itself. This option may look very winning and at high, and at low ceilings, the difference is only in the method of using color contrasts.

• High ceilings. If the need is a need to "lower" the ceiling, so that the room becomes more comfortable, the combination of colors of the floor, walls and ceiling is done in this way: the floor and the ceiling are dark, the walls are light. Moreover, cold shades on the bright walls will be even more "to move" them, and the warm on the floor and the ceiling - "bring up".
• Low ceilings. To view the ceilings to visually "raise", make them two-level. The main ceiling level is painted with dark cold tones, and suspended - light. Due to this design, the ceiling will acquire the volume and will seem higher. Dark floors in this case are necessary - they will act as a "counterweight" to balance the complex ceiling construction.

Gray color refers to neutral colors and thanks to this quality is often used as the base of the interior, a background for brighter and contrast accessories. Using gray For the walls fills the interior of calm, equilibrium, helps to relax. And the diversity of possible combinations will not limit themselves.

Dark tiled floors

Whatever material to create a dark floor you chose, you can in any case face all its disadvantages. However, this solution has a lot of advantages. Before you give preference to the dark flooring, it is worth weighing everything for and against. Let's talk about the pros and cons of dark floors, as well as how to successfully take advantage of their advantages without hurting the interior.

Dark floors in the interior: pros and cons

We have two news for those who want to walk at home on the dark floor: one good, the other is bad. Let's start by tradition with bad. The dark floor visually reduces the room, and in all directions. It seems shorter, and already, and below. Therefore, the dark flooring for small low rooms is almost contraindicated. However, it can be slightly smoothed a negative impact by choosing very light tones for walls and visually with a vertical strip or other methods.

The dark floor coverings have another weighty minus, and it is as follows: the darker the floor, the stronger the dust, garbage, villi are noticeable on it, and on some copies of the legs. On this account, Americans, very self-respecting dark wooden floors, joke: "First buy a housekeeper - then buy a dark floor".

On the matte coating, dust and litter, as a rule, are slightly less noticeable. Dark lacquered floors will have to vacuum and wipe almost every day. By the way, the dark glossy parquet or laminate often also scratches, while scratches are strongly striking.

Of course, the dust scares not everyone - many of her, as they say, do not notice in the emphasis. The same one who is less loyal in this matter can be advised to select a frosted coating with light veins and retrieve mats in places that are exposed to the greatest pollution. The robot vacuum cleaner in the house with dark floors will not be superfluous too.

Now good news. Dark floors look much more impressive. They add to the interior of elegance and respectability. Dark covers look more expensive.

The interior with dark floors is pleasant and comfortable, since such a base is perceived as durable and reliable. With dark floors it is easy to play on contrasts by using light or colored finishes, furniture, rugs - it adds brightness and effects.

However, the dark walls are not a taboo. Gloomy in the interior also finds its admirers. It is advisable to still not make dark all wall surfaces, but to combine the finish.

Bands, contrasting, finishing of panels, Dark drape on the wall with a window - There are many ways to combine dark and light tones.

To the dark wooden or imitating floor, the floors are perfect in cream-beige tonesas well as in white color.

The interiors in which neutral shades are combined are often complemented. Against the background of dark floors, they look great red splashes.

Those who would like to enter more color in the interior can be recommended blue, turquoise and green tones. These colors are nice to get along with dark floors.

Another color scheme in which dark floors fit well - black and white. The interior, made in these colors-antagonists, is not at all necessary to include achromatic floor covering. Moreover, it is the color of the tree that will be optimal here, because it makes the room comfortable and warmer. A light tree can significantly simplify the room, while dark floors will support the concept of contrast.

The plinth must necessarily merge with the floors. If the walls are light, and the ceiling is white, the plinth can also be white. In addition, it can correspond to the color of the walls or doors.

And the premises itself may lose a considerable part of the coziness due to a certain disharmony of forms. To adhere to this rule is in the living rooms and halls. For modern bedrooms and kitchens, furniture can be chosen tone to the tone with the floors.

Other rules relating to dark floors and furniture colors are simply not. That is, to rely on your own taste. If the walls are light, you can install dark furniture at least one tone with darker or lighter floors.
