You have just decided to purchase Chevron Vinyl for your next flooring project, but you are not sure how to style it. Don’t worry, we understand. Even though the chevron pattern is a timeless design, styling it can be quite a challenge. So to make your life a little easier, in this blog we will give you all the useful tips you need to combine Chevron Vinyl with the interior of your choice.
Keep it simple and balanced
When it comes to matching Chevron vinyl floors to the rest of your interior, one of the key tips is to keep it simple. As you have probably noticed, this pattern is already quite bold, so using striking furniture would only make the room look busier. In any case, we would advise you to choose subtle pieces of furniture and accessories that enhance the chevron pattern rather than compete with it. Let the floor be the star of the show ⭐️. And if you are wondering whether you can achieve a harmonious interior with chevron floors, you definitely can! Just choose neutral colours such as white, beige or grey, and even a bold pattern like chevron will help you achieve that harmonious look you are after. Our Akupanel Wall Panel collection, for example, offers a wide range of neutral shades that can help you create that seamless blend of colours!
Colour coordinating
Understanding the colours of your interior can be the key to successfully integrating chevron patterned flooring. If your room has neutral tones and you want to maintain the calm feel of your space, choose soft tones such as beige or taupe. You can even use different shades of the same colour to create a coordinated and sophisticated look. For example, both of our Chevron Vinyl colours Untreated Oak and Natural Oak are a perfect choice for creating that calm and cohesive atmosphere 😉. However, if you are someone who likes to make a statement with your interior, try to create a contrast with your colour scheme. For example, if your chevron flooring is in a light shade, dark furniture and accessories will surely create a striking and captivating result.
Play with lightning
Lighting is often underestimated, but in reality it plays a major role in enhancing the overall atmosphere of a room. There are so many ways to play with light and bring out the beauty of chevron floors. For instance, pendant or floor lights can illuminate the chevron pattern from different angles, emphasising its pattern and movement. Or, if you prefer natural light, you can use mirrors and place them in certain areas to reflect sunlight. This will brighten up the room and bring out the pattern of your beautiful chevron flooring. All in all, strategic lighting can create captivating visual effects, so don’t ever underestimate the power of light!
Consider the room
Finally, consider the room in which you want to install your chevron floors. Features such as size and shape can influence the style of chevron that will work best. In smaller rooms, choose a chevron pattern in lighter shades, which can create an illusion of spaciousness. In larger rooms, on the other hand, darker chevron floors can add a sense of warmth and intimacy. And for those of you who have already decided on a room and would like to keep your interior the way it is, we would simply advise you to make sure that your new chevron flooring doesn’t clash with any other design elements. After all, the goal is to enhance the aesthetics of the room and create an environment that reflects your personal style 😋.
