Choosing the right flooring for a room encompasses several characteristics that together have a significant impact on the way we perceive and use the spaces within a home. In the case of wooden floors, the size of the planks and the direction in which they are installed are critical factors in the final result. By exploring the various options available in both the selection and installation process, we can transform rooms, making them more spacious, cosy and visually pleasing.
Does the Size of the Rulers Influence the Feeling of Space?
Wood flooring planks are available in various sizes, from small planks to large-format planks. Choosing the right size can influence the perception of space.
In larger rooms, opting for large-format rulers can create a feeling of spaciousnessThis makes the room look even more spacious. The uniformity of the planks also contributes to a modern, clean look.
On the other hand, in more compact rooms with irregular shapes, smaller rulers are a more sensible choice. They harmonise with the proportions of the room and help create a cosy atmosphere. Wooden floors with small planks can be particularly effective in kitchens and bathrooms, where it is important to maintain a visual balance.
Orientation of Rulers to Change Perception
The direction in which the wooden planks are installed also plays a crucial role in the perception of space. In narrow rooms, such as corridors or passageways, installing the strips across the space can create the illusion of a wider room, avoiding the feeling of claustrophobia. To optimise this effect, avoid dark colours on the walls and floor, as this can diminish the feeling of spaciousness.
In short rooms, such as small bedrooms, installing the strips lengthways can add visual depth. Choosing light-coloured floors in conjunction with darker walls can further amplify this feeling of depth. This technique is especially useful when you want to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere, even in limited spaces.
