Reader’s question

“I am remodeling my country house and I would like your opinion on what color floor to install. I am thinking about putting down tile that looks like hardwood flooring but I can't decide whether to choose dark or light color. I like dark wenge color but I am afraid the room darkening. Should I go a light blonde floor? The window doors will be of grey/green aluminum."

Our recommendations
Ceramic tiles that look like wood largely give a warm feeling like natural wood and add aesthetics to any room.
The selection of light or dark shade depends on the room size, the windows size and the wall colors and the rest of the decor.
Pastel color floors create a sense of spaciousness and a feeling of tranquility in the room.
