Moody and dramatic interiors, balanced with the right amount of natural light and soft furnishings, can not only create a chic and sophisticated scheme but it can also make a space feel bigger thanks to its tonal depth.

Embrace its moody aesthetic by pairing tiles with darker walls, either a deep navy, forest green or black to create a truly striking scheme. To avoid the space becoming overly intimidating or oppressive, balance it with soft accessories and an abundance of layered texture. Colourful books, throws and statement artwork will help. Complement the deep tones of the flooring and walls with wooden furniture that is a few shades lighter such as a hickory or oak.

Don’t be afraid to play around with laying patterns with dark flooring either. Here, the large parquet pattern is a great option for those looking to style a bigger room.

This naturally dramatic floor, featuring ashy tones, works beautifully when matched with lighter walls and natural furniture. By introducing a lighter colour palette such as off-white, grey or taupe, you can instantly brighten and open-up the room to balance the darker base. For any of our floors, when styling, we always recommend picking out key undertones within the flooring – here crockery, vases and even chair legs that share similarly dark grey hues complete the scheme.

To brighten the space even further, why not pair the Pavestone laying pattern with a complimentary stripping to create a crisp grout effect.
