Choosing the Right Flooring Colour for Your Garden Room
When designing a luxury garden room, flooring plays a crucial role in setting the overall aesthetic. While durability and material are key considerations, the colour of your flooring can transform the space, influencing both the look and feel of your garden room.
Why We Only Choose Karndean Flooring
At InFrame Garden Rooms, we exclusively use Karndean flooring in our garden rooms, and for good reason. Karndean luxury vinyl flooring offers the perfect blend of durability, style, and practicality, making it the ideal choice for an outdoor-connected space. Unlike traditional hardwood or laminate, Karndean is fully waterproof, highly resistant to wear and tear, and designed to withstand temperature fluctuations—essential for a garden room used all year round.
Beyond its performance benefits, Karndean provides an extensive range of natural-looking wood and stone finishes, allowing our clients to choose a flooring colour that perfectly complements their garden room’s design. Its soft underfoot feel and easy maintenance make it a practical yet luxurious option for any space.
Light vs Dark Flooring
One of the biggest decisions is whether to opt for light or dark flooring. Light-coloured floors, such as pale oak or whitewashed finishes, create an airy and spacious feel, reflecting natural light beautifully. These are ideal for smaller garden rooms or spaces where a bright, open atmosphere is desired. On the other hand, dark flooring, such as deep walnut or charcoal shades, adds richness and depth, making the space feel warm and inviting. This works particularly well in larger rooms or when paired with lighter walls for contrast.
Natural Wood Tones
For a timeless look, natural wood tones remain a popular choice. Oak, ash, and teak finishes provide warmth and versatility, complementing a range of interior styles from modern to traditional. If your garden room has bi-fold or sliding doors opening onto a deck, choosing a flooring colour that harmonises with your outdoor space can create a seamless transition between indoors and out.
Grey and Contemporary Neutrals
Grey has become a go-to choice for contemporary interiors, offering a sophisticated and stylish base. Soft greys provide a neutral backdrop that works well with a variety of furnishings, while darker charcoal greys add a bold, modern touch. Grey flooring pairs particularly well with black-framed glazing and minimalist décor, enhancing the sleekness of a high-end garden room.
Bold and Unique Choices
If you’re looking to make a statement, consider richer tones like smoked oak, herringbone patterns, or even deep, almost-black hues. These choices bring a sense of luxury and individuality, ensuring your garden room stands out as a bespoke space. For those who want something truly unique, Karndean’s engineered wood-effect luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) come in a range of distinctive colours, such as muted greens or deep navy, adding personality and style.
