Which flooring matches my interior style?
When you’re looking for a new floor, you’ll quickly come across dozens of styles online. Scandinavian, Japandi, modern, hotel chic, rustic… and then there’s the choice between herringbone, wide planks, light, dark, or even a concrete-look finish. But which type of flooring truly fits your interior?
Scandinavian: Light, airy, and soft
A Scandinavian interior is all about calm and plenty of light. That’s why a light plank with a matte top layer works best here.
- A matte floor doesn’t reflect light but softens it, making the space feel larger and less harsh.
- The grain remains visible without dominating, giving exactly the calm look that is characteristic of this style.
Japandi: minimalist and warm at the same time
Japandi combines Scandinavian simplicity with Japanese warmth. A plank with a fine, even grain works well here because there are no harsh lines running through your living room.
- The floor doesn’t distract the eye. Attention goes to your furniture rather than the floor pattern.
- The overall feel is calm because the wood grain remains consistent from plank to plank.
Modern: Sleek and bright
Modern interiors feature many straight lines and minimal ornamentation. A clean plank or a subtle herringbone floor fits perfectly.
- A uniform wood texture keeps the base uncluttered.
- Since the floor has little pattern, walls and furniture visually stay aligned with the floor.
Hotel chic: Luxury, depth, and contrast
Hotel chic is all about warmth, rich materials and a luxurious atmosphere. A dark plank or dark herringbone floor enhances that elegance.
- Dark wood immediately adds depth. The floor subtly absorbs light, making the space feel warm and opulent.
- Lighting stands out beautifully. A warm lamp casts a golden hue on a dark floor.
Rustic: Warm, natural, and calming
In rustic homes, you mainly want to see warmth and natural materials. A wide plank in a warm tone fits perfectly here.
- A wide plank shows more wood surface per board, making the floor appear calmer.
- The gentle transitions between the planks make the floor read as a single warm surface.
Industrial: Bold and rugged
Industrial interiors make you think of concrete, black steel, and raw materials. A concrete-look floor or a cool-toned plank with subtle grain fits perfectly.
- A smooth concrete-look creates a sleek base that enhances the industrial character.
- Black steel furniture stands out sharply against a cool concrete floor.
