Features of choosing a light floor covering
In order for the chosen model to favorably emphasize the features of the room and hide the flaws, it is necessary to follow certain tips. When you decide what color you need, you should understand what you want to end up with. You can achieve a natural effect or luxurious. With the latter option, buy a product that has a glossy finish. Be prepared that it will be difficult to sustain the entire design in such an image. It won't look natural. If you want a glamorous effect, it is better to choose a darker palette. Otherwise, there is a risk that the design of the floor will seem unnatural and cheap. But if you replace it with a matte model, it will add an atmosphere of naturalness and sophistication.
Laminate can link several rooms. Then it is not the palette that matters, but the lighting. The selected tone can look completely different with a certain direction and saturation of light. It is recommended to use peripheral lighting and central lighting, placing everything correctly.
The choice will be influenced by the type of room. Some designers believe that a light coating should not be used in a hallway or corridor. But if you manage to carefully think through and organize everything, you can not follow the recommendations of the designers.
Choose your flooring with care
To such a floor you need to select lighting
When using laminate in the interior of the apartment, you must carefully consider the palette of the wall. If the tone matches the floor, the ceilings will visually become higher. But the space itself will seem narrower. If you do not carefully consider the design, you get a room that resembles a ward in a hospital. Completeness will be added by a properly selected plinth. It is better if it is a few tones darker than the color of the floor.
Let the baseboard repeat one of the shades of the room's design. Any element of decor will do. The same color of the baseboard and the door looks perfect.
If you do not like the standard, and want to add originality, it is recommended to use a simple trick. Plinth and floor should have contrasting colors. If the latter is decorated in light colors, then the former will be black. Be expressive. Be sure to add a few black elements to the interior, complementing the plinth.
An excellent solution would be to use a floor covering range that is several tones lighter than the furniture. If you do not follow this advice, there is a risk that the items will merge into a single spot. The style will not be bright, expressive. Merging can be avoided by placing a dark carpet on the floor. This will become a stain that will perfectly dilute the overall look.
The best option is considered to be a competent combination of colors in the interior.
The floor should be at least slightly different from the overall picture.
Carpet is great for diluting the overall look

- Provence. In this case, white is replaced by pastel colors, delicate. There is a floral pattern on the details. This will positively affect the whole image;
- Minimalism. It is necessary to combine a white palette and free open space in one room. Minimalism involves the use of a minimum of furniture and decor. Only necessary, practical and functional.
- High tech. Add strict, clear lines. Style does not require the presence of naturalness, which allows the use of a laminate with a glossy surface. The stronger the industrial atmosphere is emphasized, the more ideal it will turn out. Doors between rooms should not open, but move apart. Predominant metallic, black, grey colour and white tones.

The dark tones of the laminate are combined with the same doors. Additionally, the texture and pattern must match.

In the kitchen, high humidity, there is a possibility of greasy drops on the floor. Therefore, a material with a high degree of resistance to negative influence the listed factors.
- Bathroom. Experts do not recommend using such a coating in this room. Stone or tile is considered the most suitable. If only the option with a laminate is considered, then be sure to choose with high water resistance. It has a high cost, but copes with steam, moisture and condensate.
- Living room or bedroom. In addition to wear resistance and beauty, other indicators must be taken into account here. It matters how well the material absorbs noise, especially for the bedroom. Therefore, a high-quality product that will not creak when walking is suitable. For children, it is necessary to take into account the safety of the material, whether it causes allergies, how warm it is. Surface roughness is better suited than smoothness.
- Hallway. In the corridor, the level of patency is high. The floor is more exposed to pollution, more often washed. Therefore, models with resistance to moisture and good wear resistance are suitable.
These tips will help you choose the right coverage for the room. This will help you avoid many design errors.

The complexity of caring for them, increased demands on other color tones, soiled in everyday use. Especially a lot of critical reviews can be found on the question of whether to use white laminate in the interior as a floor covering.
Benefits of white flooring
White color is most easily combined with others. color shades, and this circumstance alone allows designers to fantasize creatively and combine pieces of furniture installed on a white laminate floor of any texture in a variety of ways. There are other positive features noted in the reviews. Among them:
- The highest degree of light reflection. In rooms, the floors of which are finished with a white glossy coating, it will always be much lighter, all other things being equal. Thus, if a room faces north or northwest with its windows, it is advisable to cover the floor in it with a light (or even completely white) laminate.
- Excellent reflection of thermal ultraviolet rays. Light glossy surfaces do not store heat. Therefore, in a room in which the floors are laid with white laminate, it will be cooler in the summer heat.
- White color visually expands the room to the greatest extent (especially if the walls in it are also of light colors). Therefore, for long and narrow rooms styling white coating on the floor will contribute to the visual redistribution of proportions. The same will happen with a small room.
- This excellent tool self-discipline for the owners: dirt is perfectly visible on any light surface, so a room where there is a laminate flooring (especially class 33, which implies the greatest load on the floors and is subject to the longest operation without replacement) stimulates its better and more thorough cleaning.
Types of white laminate
The greatest sophistication of its appearance is distinguished by white oak laminate, as in the photo. Reproducing the texture of this wood, this coating makes it easy to combine furniture in the room of almost any color.
It is only important that window openings are not shaded. Furniture should be naturally and evenly distributed over the area of the room: darker “furniture islands” will only emphasize the volume of the room, this feature is often noted in reviews.
In case of insufficient window openings the room often has to use artificial lighting. If conventional incandescent lamps are adopted as the latter, giving light of a lower color temperature, then the natural white color of the floor covering will appear yellowish or beige.
This is not always acceptable, and most often characterizes the texture of the coating in an unfavorable way. In such cases, they are guided not by a pure white laminate, but by light gray or creamy tones of the coating. It is this color scheme that is typical for such a type of coating as white pear laminate, as can be seen in the photo. In this case, the nobility of white color will be preserved to the greatest extent.
White ash laminate is characterized by a peculiar texture, which can be clearly seen in the photo. The bleached wood of this tree has characteristic rings on the radial cut, which not only decorate the interior of the room, but also give it a romantic touch. The structure of the pattern on the surface provides a feeling of greater volume and looks great even in large rooms. After all, the monotony of the pattern and texture is much less noticeable here.
White laminate in the interior: features of installation and operation
The method of laying white laminate is largely determined by the style decision of the room. It should be noted that white laminate is especially appropriate for rooms designed in the styles of minimalism, hi-tech, country, romanticism. If there are several windows, preference should be given to matte rather than glossy coating options, since a significant amount of glare can irritate the eye. This is especially true for bedrooms, where the lighting effect should be the softest.
Skirting boards and window frames: If there is a color mismatch, the irritating effect will appear immediately. Therefore, before deciding on the laying of white laminate (in particular, class 33, which differs increased durability) it is necessary to think over the color schemes of other interior details that catch the eye.
The laying quality of white laminate should be the highest, because on light floor mistakes and failures are clearly visible. Laying lamellas with chamfers should be abandoned - over time, dust accumulates there, and the joints become noticeable. The white laminate in the photo and numerous reviews only confirm this fact.
Disadvantages and limitations of white laminate
Since any laminate does not like frequent wet cleaning, the impracticality of such a light-colored coating will especially manifest itself where the degree of floor contamination is the highest - in kitchens, corridors and hallways. It is not recommended to lay such a coating there. However, in other cases, when laying a white laminate, remember the following:
- White laminate is particularly picky about the direction of its lighting, so when choosing in building supermarkets, it should be considered under the same lighting conditions as in the apartment.
- When using white laminate, there should be no color variety in the furniture, otherwise the style solution of the room will look eclectic.
- You should not combine white and dark laminate, especially in apartments with a small area.
The white laminate in the apartment, despite its capriciousness, gives the premises beauty, tenderness and spaciousness - qualities without which no housing can seem perfect.
I purchased and installed white laminate in the apartment in the kitchen area and bathroom, now there is a very large selection of white laminate of different textures, thicknesses and colors in stores.
I took a texture laminate "under the crocodile", it looks very nice. The advantage of laminate is that, unlike linoleum, it is a more technologically advanced and long-term coating. The tree still has the best performance in terms of deformation and response to temperature changes.
The biggest plus is the white laminate is that it creates a voluminous room, visually it becomes larger, it looks especially advantageous if the wallpaper is also light - perfect solution V small rooms and apartments.
With regards to the interior, it is worth making a graphical representation of the combination colors, because if the floor is perfectly white, and the walls are even slightly yellowish, then it will hardly be combined, it is also worth paying attention to the furniture and the combination of the color scheme of the interior with it. As for the quality of the white laminate, it is very important not to save and not to buy a budget option, since the quality of the white coating will be reflected primarily on the surface in a couple of years already.
dark colors laminate flooring is not so whimsical. White laminate is very easy to clean, but again, it is better to choose specialized products for laminate, which will extend the life of the laminate.
Of the minuses of a white laminate, I would call what is on it the smallest imperfections are visible and breakage of the structure, here I have a drawing and if you hook it, it will be immediately visible, since contrasting areas are very noticeable on white.
The quality of the laminate is different. The thickness of the tiles is also from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, the pricing policy of the Russian, Chinese and European manufacturers differs significantly due to different technologies production, the tiled base is made of different breeds wood: oak, aspen, alder. Composites from tree species impregnated with various synthetic fillers, protected by a film that preserves the plate from deformation and covered with a laminated or matte PVC surface, which allows you to create a 3-layer, or even more, structure of your floor.
It is in the white laminate that this protective film has a high degree of reaction to heating, this is done for installing underfloor heating and changing temperature regime in room. Actually, I was satisfied with the choice of laminate and the quality of its installation, which is easy to do on your own, you only need high-quality glue.
