Painted Floors: Adds Colors & Character

Painted floors can change the entire mood of a room. Solid white floors look clean and crisp, but bold shades and patterns add an extra dash of personality. Stripes, stencils, and strategic stain applications are just a few other possibilities.

Preppy Stripes
Designers Jason Oliver Nixon and John Loecke added fresh, clean stripes to an otherwise traditional space. Different shades of green pop against the painted floor and the overall effect, despite multiple patterns and shapes stay streamlined and uncomplicated.
 
Sunny Stencils
A foam core stencil adds a beautiful pattern to the bright yellow floors.
 
Checkered Chic
A playful black-and-white painted floor pops against the kelly green desk chair. Tall windows and an unexpected sky blue ceiling open up the space.
 
Painted wood floors were in a widespread use in American homes by the late 1700s and are now making a comeback, in both historic and contemporary homes. Also, painted floors are 
low-maintenance and can be simply cleaned occasionally with soap and water. Scratches in the wood are not a problem, they will look better with age and show character. If floors show patterns and colors, it will distract from other imperfections in the future, this is a great solution to freshen up a space and add character.
