Colour Inspiration

Start with the colour. See where it takes the room.

Some spaces begin with a paint shade, a fabric swatch or a feeling. Others start from the floor up.

Maybe you already have a wall colour, cabinet shade or fabric in mind. Or perhaps you just know how you want the room to feel. Start there, and use colour to narrow down which patterned vinyl floors could work.

If there’s already a colour in the room you want to work with, start there. Or choose the palette you keep coming back to and see which floors begin to fit.

Pink flooring

Pink can warm up a simple room or pick up colours you’re already using elsewhere — from softer blushes to something with more punch.

Green flooring

From soft sage to deeper olive, green works beautifully with timber and warm neutrals, or with colours you already have in the room.

Monochrome flooring

Black and white can sharpen a simple room, pick up darker details or give everything else a cleaner backdrop.

Neutral flooring

A quieter palette doesn’t have to fade into the background. Pattern and warmer tones can still give the room plenty of character.

Pastel flooring

Gentler colour can bring personality without taking over — useful when there are already other things in the room doing the talking.

Looks to match the mood

Sometimes the best starting point isn’t a specific shade, but the way you want the room to feel. So start with that instead.

Soft & playful

Think blush tones, lighter palettes and colours with a little whimsy.

Still working out what should lead the room?

Colour is one way in. Pattern, practical advice and seeing how a design behaves in a real room can help narrow things down too.

Want to start with pattern?

If colour is only part of the picture, start with the pattern instead — stars, checkerboard, stripes and plenty more.
