Walls
The first aspect of home decor is to choose the right paint or wall colors, as you would only repaint them after a few years. Therefore, it is sensible to choose lighter colors since the rest of your interiors will be dependent on this. The best wall color ideas which would suit dark wood floors are cream, beige, ivory, lemon, yellow, peach, baby pink, light blue, lilac, metallic red, gray, etc. These interior painting colors are very neutral light shades, making it easier for you design your furniture accordingly. However, I would suggest, dark floors and light wall colors are the best combination for the long term. Also remember, if you have moldings around the walls, dark wood floor, white trim and light walls will surely steal the show.

Furniture and Cabinets
If you are going to have these floors in your living room, bedrooms and kitchens, you need to choose your cabinet colors and furniture color carefully. Your home furniture is also a very important part of the interiors and many people design it in various ways. Many people prefer having dark furniture, light wood floors and bright interiors. However, the tip to accentuate this wood furniture on wooden floors is to make the two look completely different.

Since your floor is already wooden, you can use minimum amount of furniture around. Shelves, drawers, showcases, bookcases, room dividers, tables and chairs, kitchen cabinets, etc., can be made in very elegant and simple patterns using very little wood. For the kitchen, dark wood floors with light cabinets look perfect. But let me warn you, that don't ever get dark wood floors and dark cabinets, as this might just give the entire kitchen a disastrous look. So, pick your colors very carefully and make the interiors look pleasant and homely.

Drapes and Curtains
You drapes, curtains, sheers and other cloth materials used for interior designing have to be bright and colored if you are getting these dark wood floors installed. Greens, orange, yellow, bright red, peach, sky blue, purple, rich mustard, maroon, beige, golden, silver, copper, and other such beautiful colors make the house look brilliantly designed. You can have shades of these colors on your sofa, pillows, bed sheets and other linens as well. Bright curtains and drapes give the room a pleasant look lighting up the wall colors and of course making the dark floor more noticeable.

With these great ideas for mismatching your interiors with these royal and luxurious dark wood floors, I am sure you can't wait to start redesigning your home. So, go ahead and make your home look like no other as all you have to do is get your floor done!
