Some people find it necessary to make the floor in their apartment black.

They are confident that such flooring will make the interior refined, stylish and elegant.

However, Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, recommends abandoning this design approach.

The fact is that black flooring can spoil the appearance of the room.

What's wrong with a black floor?

The first drawback is the visual reduction of space. Unlike light, dark flooring visually makes the room narrower.

The second minus is darkness. The black floor clearly does not contribute to good lighting. But light colors make the rooms more cozy.

The third undesirable consequence is that dust immediately catches the eye. Light small particles stand out well against a dark background. As a result, cleaning will have to be done too often.

Don't want to constantly mop the floor? Leave the floor covering light.
