Busy floor design tips ..help

6 years ago

I was redoing my living room and thought of doing a cute little diamond tile for the dining area, which was going to be the graphic element and herringbone wood floors for the living area.

Somehow (I wont go into details!) I got stuck with a very graphic pattern on the wooden floor as well. I love the floors separately but together (with the dining bench) it looks a bit much.

Luckily I didn't order any furniture ahead of time, except for the dining .

Now I am looking for some decor tips to make the busy floors work for the room.

Hi Jiya,

For sure this has gone over the top.. not going into that..

To tone it down we can remove the terracotta red color on the walls . It can be replaced with white color on the brick wall.

Window frame color if changed to lighter shades would be great as well.

The line where the two floors meet may have to be covered with a uni tone area rug.

The sqaure shaped dining bench gives the room a sidey restaurant like feel? Can we not change it .

For the curtains and Sofa furnishings , please do not take one with any patterns on it.. uni colored ones with an accent piece would be better..

Thanks,
Nitin

Functionality of the flooring material is very important in house.Hardwood flooring would be a classic choice for every homeowner as it is easy to maintain.Carpet is the most popular choice among st homeowners regarding floor coverings that is available in a vast array of colors,patterns,and textures,carpeting can be effortlessly and perfectly matched to your individual tastes and unique decor.Good luck with your project.

Hi Shilpa, Scandinavian design is a beautiful and versatile design genre. A few things you need to keep in mind which is key to Scandinavian design is light and ventilation - so have large windows with no/ minimal grills. The warmth of the room comes from natural wood elements, hence if you do not have wooden flooring have some amount of distressed or old wood in the room in terms of side tables or wall hangings. Maintenance will be a key issue if you have all white walls and furniture , so remember to suit it more to the climatic conditions of where you are situated , so if in a city next to a busy dusty road, you might have to upkeep the room on a daily basis. Try to bring in some pop colour like coral or teal and of course invest in an original painting Hope this helps you Smitha

Hi Ma'am/Sir,

I would highly suggest you to change the entire flooring into a basic one if your budget allows you to do so. It is because of the flooring that your concept is not related to each other which is very important to wing it because without details, there are no design symmetry. I guess you should chalk out some options on a notebook first. If you are a pro' then you should get your moodboard shortlisted. Good luck!
