When shopping for flooring, there is one challenge that can arise depending on your home design and layout, and that is space. Some of the hardest areas to tackle in your home for selecting flooring are small spaces like pantries, half baths, and other small rooms etc. Not every home has a blank canvas or large areas that are easy to decorate.
But don't worry, there are always ways around these challenges. With the proper guidance from a sales associate, you will leave knowing you were provided with the best flooring options for smaller spaces and beneficial tips and tricks to help you in choosing the right flooring for the small spaces in your home.
Best Flooring Color for Small Spaces-
When trying to pick a color for your design space, light and airy is the way to go! Color has a huge effect on how big or small a space is perceived. We recommend a light neutral beige or gray depending on your interior decor style. Pair your light washed flooring with a light wall paint, such as Snowbound by Sherwin Williams. Dark flooring in small spaces can make the room feel tighter and more compact. Adding a harmonious wall paint draws less attention to a harsh break between where the floor and the wall meet, ultimately giving the illusion that your space is unlimited.
Flooring size for Small Spaces-
Another difference maker to give your space a larger feel is wide plank flooring. Wide plank flooring allows for fewer seams between each plank, giving the illusion that the space is less crowded. Our Legrand Pergo 7.5" Laminate flooring is a great choice for a light, wide plank option.
Large Tile Flooring in Small Spaces-
If you're interested in a tile floor for a small space over other alternative flooring types, our Ibla 12x48 Large Format Porcelain Tile is a great choice. This tile is 12x48 inches and has simple detail throughout each piece, giving the space minimal detail and not cluttering the area. If you’re looking to add a bit more detail, you could add the same Ibla tile in a herringbone pattern like shown in the photo.
Another great 12x24 floor tile pattern option is our natural stone Arabescata Carrara. This tile is a more gray tone than that of our Gemini tile above.
