On the Kitchen Floor: Dark vs. Light. Previous image Next image If you had to pick, which would it be - the rich elegance of a dark floor or the crisp, airy feeling of white floors? When deciding between these two extremes, there's more to consider than what initially meets the eye… One of the elements that drew me to my current apartment was the dark, stained hardwood flooring. It produces a level of elegance and contrasts very nicely with the light colored walls.
I quickly learned that keeping dark floors in tip-top condition is a constant effort. In a way it's a good wake up call to see just how much dust and crumbs accumulate unnoticed on my floors. White flooring can contribute to the Scandinavian aesthetic we love. Each extreme can be absolutely stunning, but each comes with its own challenges.
