Black Floors and Neutral Window Treatments

Usually when people here the phrase neutral tones they think of colors like white or tan. But the neutral palette encompasses an entire spectrum of colors from pristine white to midnight black. Utilizing colors on the darker side of the neutral rainbow for interior design, like black floors, is incredibly on-trend as a popular modern twist on traditional flooring. And while some might be intimidated by black floors or fear that the bold color may overwhelm the room making it seem gloomy, the exact opposite is true. Styled properly, black floors can be a dynamic color element that adds needed contrast to a design while still remaining a neutral foundation for the room’s overall aesthetic.

Black floors have an authoritative hue that is reminiscent of the feel of a traditional hardwood floors, yet they do not feel conventional. They feel modern and fresh with clean lines and dark hues that add depth to the room while still keeping the floors neutral.
