What Is The Best Color For Laminate Flooring?

There are many laminate flooring colors available, from light and dark gray to numerous wood grain stains, basic white, and black, to name a few.

It’s hard to say that one color is the best when it comes to laminate, as it really depends on what your personal preferences are. You may choose a certain color to match existing cabinets or furniture, or you might decide on a color based on its ability to hide dirt, stains, and scratches. Alternatively, you may simply prefer laminate flooring colors that match the paint on a wall or decor in a room.

As a general rule white and black floors will be the most difficult to keep looking clean as they have a greater tendency to show dirt, dust, footprints, etc. However, a white floor will brighten a room like no other and a black floor will accent the other items in the room without serving as a distraction.

Wood grain flooring options will disguise dirt, debris and scratches, and create a very natural, calming feel to a room. The downside of wood-look laminate is that you’ll need to be aware of other wooden/wood grain objects in the room as not all wood colors blend well with other woods.

Stone colored laminate offers a wonderful natural look that is great at hiding dirt, scratches etc. But it doesn’t always give a warm, cozy feel for a space.
