Creating a similar effect to of the use of mirrors and optimised storage furniture, the right shade of floor can impact very positively on a room appearing spacious.
Advice points towards installing flooring with a colour that is lighter in tone – as it brightens the room and works to create the impression that there is much more natural light within the space.
Lighter tones of laminate or solid wood flooring will obviously increase the sense of spaciousness within a room, but even lighter colours such as white will produce even greater results.
