What do consumers not like?
The disadvantages of the coating include its color - according to some, it is too dark. Mistresses are well aware that on a dark surface, as well as on white, various pollution and accumulations of dust, pet hair are very noticeable. But if you remove it in time, then the dark surface cannot be called a drawback.

Color wenge in the interior. Nuances
To use the color of wenge when performing the design of the room, it is necessary to understand the advantages and features of the material, as well as its role. Otherwise, the coating simply gets lost in the interior, suppressed by other elements.
It is best if the rest of the elements in the room are bright. Good lighting and several bright color accents will give the room lightness and airiness, and then the dark shade of the floor will not stand out too much, “push” on the eyes, suppress other design elements.
What you need to know when decorating a room?
Of great importance in the design of the interior is the size of the room: the smaller the room, the less this color should be in it. It is best to make several separate inclusions in the form of a wooden figurine, headboard, shelves, countertops of a dark shade.
If the room is spacious, this color of coating is an ideal design option. You can cover the entire floor in a large room, or you can perform zoning with this coating - any case will be advantageous. But at the same time, it is unacceptable to overdo it and use in one room more than two shades of laminate. In this case, the color of the furniture should differ significantly from the color of the material covering the floor.
An important detail: horizontally located dark surfaces combine perfectly with vertical details in a contrasting shade.
The color of wenge can be used in the design of other surfaces in the room:
- Sten (wallpaper).
- Windows (textiles).
- Furniture (leather), etc.
Features of the use of light paintings
If it is decided to lay a light shade on the floor, then when decorating the room, you can use the dark finish, only a few important rules must be observed:
- When choosing a coating, it is necessary to take into account the purpose of the room. So, in the office, cold tones will be appropriate, but in living rooms it is better to lay a coating of warm tones - this will help create the necessary atmosphere of comfort in the house.
- The number of dark elements should be minimal.
- If furniture and other accessories are in a contrasting color, it should ideally fit the color of the floor, and the contrast itself should not be very pronounced. Such an option as a dark brown shade with red, white, lemon, will not work - they are very different and will cause discomfort.
- If you decide to design the room in one color scheme, all the elements located above should be lighter.
- If the doors, windows and walls are of a contrasting color, in order to smooth out the transition from the dark floor a little, you need to use a medium baseboard between the shade of the floor and other surfaces.
