Just as when choosing the right style between parquet and walls<\/strong><\/a> or between wooden flooring and the baseboard<\/strong><\/a>, the decision on color matching between parquet and furniture<\/strong> largely depends on your personal taste and the style you want for your home.
\nHowever, you should consider details such as the size of the spaces and their lighting<\/strong>, as well as the colors already used for the walls and skirting or for the fixtures.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/h2>\n

Parquet is the new black!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just like the color black in fashion, parquet also goes with everything, meaning it easily<\/strong> lends itself to a wide variety of design and furnishing options<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The rule is that there are no rules, except for the basic ones.<\/p>\n

A light wooden floor \u2013 for example, gray like the Canapa, Sabbia, and Incenso lines<\/strong> from Woodco’s Dream collection \u2013 is ideal for giving a sense of space to smaller areas, especially if laid vertically<\/strong>. Conversely, dark shades and herringbone or horizontal layouts tend to create a more intimate atmosphere. Even in this case, Woodco’s catalog offers plenty of options: take a look at the walnut colors of Signature and Dream<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Dark Parquet and Dark Furniture: For Those Who Love Continuity<\/h2>\n

In general, it can be said that a dark wooden floor and dark furniture<\/strong> are better suited to larger spaces<\/strong>, as they help contain the sense of dispersiveness; conversely, light varieties<\/strong> are ideal for smaller ones, as they give an impression of greater spaciousness<\/strong>.
\nIn particular, the more classic and naturally dark varieties can achieve excellent results when combined with some furniture in shades of blue, gray, and black<\/strong>, such as a refrigerator, a chest, or chairs. This is the case with the Signature and Dream offerings, which, in their darker tones, give the combinations a decidedly elegant and chic taste<\/strong>. However, the combination of dark parquet and furniture should be done with utmost care<\/strong> because the opposite risk is to make the environment too gloomy. <\/p>\n

Dark Wooden Floor and Light Furniture: The Choice of Contrast<\/h2>\n

The combination of light furniture and dark parquet<\/strong> is also appealing and quite popular<\/strong>, although perhaps more suited to airy environments with significant natural light, featuring large windows<\/strong>.
\nThis Nordic and minimalist trend finds a simple yet visually impactful<\/strong> balance in the union of light furniture and darker parquet.<\/p>\n

Parquet and Furniture: Classic or Modern, It’s a Perfect Match<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We have already given you some tips on how to effectively match parquet with furniture: a certain homogeneity<\/strong> is preferable, especially if your taste leans towards classic styles and dark colors, it might be better to maintain a certain consistency between floors and furniture<\/strong>. Instead, the walls can create an appreciable contrast here, as a light paint helps them gain a touch of brightness and space. <\/p>\n

We mentioned \u201ccontrast\u201d and indeed recent trends often combine dark boards with light walls and accessories or \u2013 a typical trend in Northern Europe \u2013 light parquet with furniture and walls, sofas, and armchairs in lead and London smoke colors.<\/p>\n

Finally, a tip that is advisable to follow is to avoid pairing wood essences that are too different<\/strong> or of different and bright colors to avoid a shock effect.<\/p>\n

For Classic Environments, in the Name of Continuity<\/h2>\n

The combination of wooden floors and furniture in antique and traditional style<\/strong> is a well-established pairing that, to be fully appreciated, should preferably be based on neutral tones<\/strong> capable of highlighting both the value of the furniture and the beauty and warmth of the parquet.<\/p>\n

For this reason, it is often recommended to use walnut<\/strong>, which is an integral part of our offering, with square or herringbone installation systems, for example.
\nWoodco’s field experience allows us to suggest in this area the choice of Almond Oak parquet<\/strong> from the Signature<\/strong> collection, which pairs excellently with elegant and essential furnishing accessories on one hand; and on the other, with the greenery surrounding country residences and farmhouses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rich in shades and grains, it promises to be a true ode to nature, enhanced by its particularly vivid and intense coloring.<\/p>\n

Regarding Wooden Floors and Accessories<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You can dare, as we have already mentioned, even with accessories: nothing prevents you from adding a touch of modernism to a classic environment<\/strong> where elegant and austere dark tones or even those tending towards black dominate. Here, contemporary hi-tech objects, from LCD or plasma TVs to Bluetooth speakers, and perhaps accessories, always with a modern taste and sophisticated design, in beige, white, gray, or taupe, stand out and gain value. <\/p>\n

The reverse is also true: that is, integrating a bed, a dresser, or a retro-inspired mirror in a room dominated by brightness. And even in this regard, parquet can have its say, as we have seen in the past. <\/p>\n

Indeed, once it reaches the end of its useful life, the wood of your floor is not at the end of its life: you can give it new life<\/strong> with a bit of DIY, reusing the boards<\/strong> to transform them into tables, mirror and picture frames, or elegant and original headboards.<\/p>\n

The only limit, in this regard, is your creativity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
