If you’re after classic elegance in your home, traditional interiors exude warmth and comfort with an overflow of sophistication. All-white is not necessary so you can experiment with colour by selecting one primary hue along with two or three accent tones to add visual interest.

Tie all this together with traditional flooring, which will contribute to the timeless elegance of the space. For a traditional flooring style that captures the essence of this design, consider wood-look floors with a strong presence in mid and dark tones. Highly durable and easy to maintain, the ideal traditional floor will slot in seamlessly with your classically designed home.

 

Add warmth and comfort with traditional flooring ideas 

There are various ways to incorporate flooring into your traditional design. Dark hardwood traditional style flooring oozes luxury in traditional homes yet creates an inviting space while balancing out natural materials and organic colour tones. 

At Armstrong Flooring, we have many flooring styles to suit this aesthetic. Havana Oak in Chesterfield is a good mid-tone colour, while Cocoa Oak in the Aspirations range provides a darker contrast tone.

Here are a few traditional design ideas to keep in mind when it comes to styling your traditional floors:

  • More is more when it comes to decorating so think layers of patterns and texture with traditional pieces that are ornate and curvy. 

  • Huge chandeliers, high decorated wall light fixtures and sculptural table lamps will create a statement to a room. 

  • Symmetry is a key element so furniture and accessorising should be thought out to create balance and calmness.
