Since wood flooring only comes in so many colors, there’s aren’t that many options. However, if you take into consideration the possibility of painting the floor after the boards have been installed, this gives you the opportunity to customize the color scheme in an infinite number of ways.

Painted floors are awesome because they completely transform spaces. They’re also cool alternatives to colored walls. By painting the floor and leaving the walls plain and white you can create a simple but at the same time eye-catching decor.

Painted floors don’t necessarily have to be colorful. You can for example paint the floor white in order to make a room look more open and spacious or to give it a Scandinavian-inspired look. Check out this farmhouse-style bedroom as an example.

A colored floor can cheer up a room in a way that nothing else can. It’s a fun idea if you don’t want to add a rug but it’s just as great if you actually put a rug on top of your painted floor. Either way, it will look charming. We think it’s an especially great idea for small rooms.
