🛋 Living Room: Go Warm and Welcoming

The living room is the heart of the home, where you relax, entertain, and spend time with loved ones. Soft, neutral flooring—like warm oak, greige, or light walnut—keeps things timeless and cozy while giving you flexibility with your furniture and décor.

Explore the Create Flooring Vineyards Collection - engineered hardwood with gorgeous warm undertones.

Tip: Mid-tone colors are great for hiding pet hair and everyday dust, so your floors look fresh even between cleans.

 

🍽 Dining Room: Choose Rich, Sophisticated Tones

Want your dining room to feel a little more special? Deeper shades like espresso, walnut, or smoky grey add instant elegance and make meals feel like an occasion. Pair them with light walls or statement lighting to balance the richness.

Shop our Titan Surfaces Colossal Collection - perfect for formal and casual dining spaces.

Tip: Rugs under your dining table can help define the space and reduce noise during family dinners.

 

🍳 Kitchen: Keep It Light and Easy

Kitchens work hard, so your floor needs to as well! Light shades like ash, whitewashed oak, or sandy beige brighten the space, reflect light, and hide crumbs (a major win). They also pair beautifully with both modern and traditional cabinetry.

View our  Woodlane Water's Edge Collection by Next Floor for light-toned engineered hardwood planks.

Tip: Waterproof flooring is your best friend in the kitchen—think easy cleanup, no stress.

 

🛏 Bedroom: Create Calm with Soft Tones

Your bedroom should be your retreat. Think muted tones like soft grey, honey beige, or creamy taupe for a peaceful, relaxing vibe that promotes better sleep and helps you unwind after a long day.

For a quiet and comfortable floor underfoot, try our StoneCast Collection by Next Floor.

Tip: Tie in your flooring with your bedding or curtains for a cohesive, pulled-together look.

 

🚿 Bathroom & Laundry: Go Bright and Water-Resistant

In moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and laundries, your floor should be water-resistant, safe, and easy to clean—but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring! Light shades like soft grey, beige, or ivory create a fresh, open feel and make small spaces look bigger.

Browse our  AquaShield Collection – designed to handle water without sacrificing style.

Tip: Vinyl is a smart choice here—it's stylish, waterproof, and easy to mop after steamy showers or laundry day spills.

 

🧒 Kids’ Rooms & Playrooms: Fun, Durable, and Easy to Clean

For spaces where your little ones play, learn, and maybe get a little messy, mid-toned flooring in oak, grey, or multi-tonal styles is a great pick. These shades disguise scuffs and spills and still look light and cheerful.

Try our WE Cork Avant Garde Collection for long-lasting and kid-friendly floors.

Tip: Look for scratch-resistant and low-maintenance options—because sticky fingers and toy trucks are part of the deal!

 

 

💡 Final Tips to Help You Decide

• Natural light plays a big role—lighter floors open up darker rooms, while darker floors ground bright spaces

• Room size matters—small rooms feel bigger with pale flooring; large rooms can handle bolder, darker shades

• Think long-term—neutral tones are timeless and easier to decorate around
