DARK PARQUET
Dark wood floor for a designer house.
The dark parquet is synonymous with elegance, charm and personality. Permanently present among the trends of recent years, it has become a must have for those who dream of a design house with a refined and original atmosphere.
If then combined with a woody essence such as oak, it can really be installed in any room, even in the most delicate ones such as the bathroom and kitchen, giving a unique glance throughout the house.
The dark parquet has the ability to markedly change the perception of spaces: in very large and bright environments it manages to give a welcoming and sophisticated touch, while in rooms of limited size it creates small and intimate shelters far from the world.
Choosing a dark parquet therefore requires awareness of the image and sensation that you would like to give to your home: the floor will, in fact, become the protagonist and will envelop the spaces with decision, characterizing every environment.
The combination with the furnishings and walls will then be fundamental: opting for the right shades and the correct materials will enhance your style and influence your overall project.
Which dark parquet to choose then? Here are 3 colors that will transform your home and some advice on how to combine them.
- Dark oak parquet
Dark oak parquet
The dark oak parquet is certainly one of the most refined choices. An example of aesthetics and functionality, it is perfect for any environment, including the bathroom and kitchen. Its characteristics of hardness and resistance, combined with ease of maintenance, make it a timeless floor, capable of conquering at first glance.
The dark oak parquet matches any furnishing style: from the most classic and romantic to the most contemporary.In the latter case, a modern house will be enhanced by opting for a brushed surface: the wood will seem natural and material, but at the same time the floor will be more practical for hiding scratches and dents.
The furniture able to marry with the Dark Oak Parquet must be clean, minimal and monochromatic. Green light therefore to total white, gray or black & white furniture, but also with stronger and more lively colors for those who want a young and eccentric home.
As for the interior doors, it is better to stay on the same color nuances, perhaps playing only on the shades, or even opting for wall doors painted like the walls. Too noticeable contrast may tire over time.
The dark parquet can be proposed in each of our collections: let yourself be inspired and choose the laying that best suits your personal taste.
Dark gray parquet
The dark gray parquet is one of the trendiest floors because it combines with the most diverse styles.
Depending on the nuance or tone, it is possible to create very different atmospheres: the dark gray oak parquet adapts to elegant and refined taste, the brushed one is perfect for more contemporary homes, the one with knots and cracks in evidence is suitable for those who love the ethnic mood, while the compact and pickled gray parquet is combined with a Scandinavian-inspired look.
Its metallic appearance makes any environment elegant and its cold character can be mitigated with different laying patterns: splendid are, for example, the Italian spine or the design tiles.
Then choose ton sur ton interior doors, playing with shades of the same color, or glass doors, sliding and modern, to give brightness and airiness to the spaces.

Dark brown parquet
The dark brown parquet can be proposed in different wood essences: from the honey chestnut shades of the Oak to the delicate nuances of the Walnut, up to the warm and golden color of the Teak.
Depending on the wood chosen, we will be able to obtain different types of parquet for aesthetics and practicality. Teak, for example, can be an excellent compromise to cover the interior and exterior of the house with the same material, giving continuity and harmony to the look, as well as resistance, sturdiness and ease of maintenance.
A dark brown parquet can be combined with furnishings with a classic and rustic taste, but can also enhance the more industrial and modern style, especially if chosen with a brushed, pickled or planed surface.
Extremely versatile, it goes well with any color and material and also tolerates strong contrasts with lacquered, satin and brightly colored furniture.
The doors that best suit the dark brown parquet are those in the same wood essence, even with different color nuances.

Dark colored parquet on the walls
How to decorate the walls in case of dark parquet? There are two possibilities: monochromatic colors and wallpaper.
As for the color, you prefer light shades, from white to taupe, from pink to pastel shades. In this way, the rooms will appear large and bright.
If you prefer wallpaper, opt for 1950s-60s geometries, floral motifs or romantic patterns.
The dark colors on the walls can only be used in the case of large sizes or windows to make the spaces intimate and welcoming. The only exception is the bedroom, where the dark color can help create a relaxing and comfortable alcove, capable of enveloping and giving a reassuring sensation.
In the case of small or dark environments, it will be inevitable to choose neutral colors to give depth to the spaces, brightness and the feeling of amplitude and airiness to the room.
If, on the other hand, you are a lover of the eccentric style and you dream of a fresh and original home, you can dare with bright colors such as green, turquoise and coral, perhaps playing with matching furnishings to create harmony and continuity.
