When we think about parquet flooring, we think antique and grand. The geometric shapes of parquet flooring can sometimes feel or appear too formal, but there are ways that you can make parquet floors fit with all styles of homes. If you want to give your floors some artistic flair, but still keep it cozy and rustic, it’s all about choosing the right wood, the right pattern, and the right finish.
Pattern
The pattern of your parquet floors can be made to flow with the architecture of your home. Look at the curves and shapes that make up the architecture and design of your home and find a parquet floor that will flow and mimick those same curves and shapes. When you take inspiration from the architecture of the house, parquet floors will be subtle yet striking.
Choose the right room for parquet floors
Of course, you still want to be strategic in your placement of parquet floors. They are special and unique, so make sure that you don’t have them in every room. Even if you want them to be warm and inviting, you still want them to get the attention they deserve.
Use curves and shapes that are harmonious with the architecture of your home.
Approachable parquet floors
One way to make your Parque flooring feel light and cozy is to choose a pattern that is soft and not too wild. Something subtle, but still artistic and beautiful. The finish of the floor can also help you create a softer vibe to artistic geometric shapes. Using a matte, or a satin shine will make a parquet floor feel less formal. Toning down the sheen and the pattern can make your parquet floors feel more approachable. Your guests won’t be afraid to walk on the parquet floors if the shine has a low sheen.
