How to choose furniture that matches hardwood floors

Hardwood floors come in many colors and finishes. Your furniture should improve your hardwood floors, not make them worse. They should fit in with the style you are looking for and unite the rooms in your house. The furniture you choose to go with your hardwood floors should not only fit the style of your home, but should also fit your budget. Also, according to Decoratemyrooms.com, since furniture is such an investment, it should be durable so you don't have to replace it often.

Step 1

Measure your space. If you have hardwood floors throughout your home, measure each room separately. Take note of the size of each one and clearly mark what each room will be, such as a bedroom, living room, and dining room, so you know what furniture to buy.

Step 2

Think about the color of your floors. Are they dark wood, light wood, or do they have shades of pink and red in them? Because hardwood comes in so many colors, you'll want to choose the right shade of furniture to contrast with them. This will make both of you stand out. For example, if you have a wooden floor that is a very light tan color, you should aim for dark tones in your furniture. Black furniture would look great with tan light wood floors. Similarly, if you have hardwood floors that have hints of red like dark cherry maple, you should choose furniture that is softer in tone; But your furniture should also have touches of red to make the red color on the floor stand out. Sofa and chair fabrics that have hints of red or pink will work well.



Step 3

Buy a consistent color for all rooms. If you have hardwood floors of the same color throughout your home, Decoratemyrooms.com suggests that you purchase the same color of furniture for each room in your home. That way you can move the pieces throughout the house and you won't have to worry about whether they will match the environment. This will also give it a very uniform look and keep the look you are creating consistent in all rooms.

Step 4

Buy furniture dowels. Just like you don't want your furniture to be removed from your hardwood floors, you also don't want to damage your floors. The World Floor Covering Association suggests purchasing felt furniture pads to place under furniture legs to avoid denting or scratching the floor.
