The use of white laminate as a floor covering has recently become a leading trend in the work of designers. By itself, a durable, practical, excellent-looking material, while having a reasonable price, unlike natural wood, has long been popular when choosing materials for decorating apartments.
White laminate flooring can be successfully applied in a variety of styles such as classic, minimalism, Scandinavian, art deco, shabby chic or hi-tech.
White laminate in the interior is a classic option. It will go well with both restrained tones and bright color accents. White, like black, is out of fashion and time. White serves as an expressive backdrop for dark furniture, and light will help “dissolve”, will merge with it, which will visually enlarge the room. Matte white floors will create coziness, while glossy floors will create an interesting play of reflections. Dark small rooms with such a floor will become lighter and more spacious..
If you are using white laminate, then it will be easy for you to choose color solutions for home decoration. In addition, the room will become visually larger, “easier”, lighter, this solution will allow you to play with contrasts, picking up, for example, dark furniture, or combining a light floor and ceiling with juicy, colorful wallpaper. Having painted the walls in gentle, light colors and picking up light furniture, you will create a delicate, romantic interior. Other interesting design ideas can be found in the catalog of ready-made interiors.
As with any design solution, white laminate in the interior has its pros and cons:
Pros:
- A room with white floors not only seems, but objectively becomes lighter due to the properties of white.
- With a small room, a white floor will make it visually more spacious, filled with air.
- The combination of white laminate on the floor with light walls will be a good background for bright interior details.
- White floors are suitable for interiors in a wide variety of styles – classic, avant-garde, hi-tech, shabby chic, modern, minimalism and others..
- Contrary to popular belief, such floors are not “easily soiled”: so, the dust on them is practically invisible.
Minuses:
- White laminate in the interior will look advantageous only if it is correctly and very carefully laid, since it is more visible on white “flaws” and stacking errors.
- White comes in a wide variety of shades and this must be taken into account when choosing a laminate. Please note that in the salon where you choose it, and in your apartment, the lighting is different, and the floor may look completely different from what you think.
- Dirt and debris on a white floor stands out more sharply than on a dark one, but this can hardly be considered a drawback, rather the opposite: it is immediately obvious that cleaning is necessary.
