Tip #3 - Light
Lighting plays a big role in color selection, and must certainly be taken into account. Throughout the day, natural light filters into your home, giving it a visual effect, and playing on flooring color. But in the evening, when natural light is gone, and you are dependent upon artificial lighting, you’ll get an entirely different impression. Before picking the perfect flooring, walk around your space during various times of the day, to give you a better idea of what unique lighting you must keep in mind.
Tip #4: The Big Picture
Don’t randomly select a color that you like in-store, it’s possibly the worst mistake you could every make. Not taking wall color, furniture, and décor into account is leaving out the big picture of your room; the room itself! So, along with your flooring color ideas, bring a few things from the room, like cushions, curtains, paintings, wall color samples or rugs, to help you compare and contrast flooring color, and ensure the pallet choice is optimal.
