Flooring and Interior Design

Designers often refer to the floor as the "fifth wall" because it plays a major role in the overall look of a room. A dark color floor, for example, can anchor a large room and make it feel smaller and cozier. A light floor, on the other hand, reflects more light to make a small room feel more spacious. Because of this the choice of floor color is an important design decision. You can always paint the walls a different color, but you'll likely live with your flooring choice for years to come.
