One always thinks about painting the walls but why not consider
painting a floor? Granted this is not
for every home but painting the floor can add a strong decorative element to a
room. I like to think of painting a
floor when the room needs a little character or to give it an unexpected edge.
Be aware that painting floors are more difficult than
painting walls as you are dealing with different floor types and also need to
consider furniture and foot traffic. I
recommend hiring a professional but here is a link from Elle Décor to get a
sense of how it works and if you are handy enough to do yourself: Elle Decor
Polyurethane is also something to consider. It is a clear coat that can be used as a
protective layer over the paint. Be sure
to know what finishes (flat, semi-gloss, etc.) are appropriate for the
paint, the polyurethane and the floor type and for the look you want to
achieve.
Imagine these spaces below without the painted floor to see how they give the room character.
Here are some floors tastefully done:
Painting floors a simple white or black can work beautifully as well..
Lastly, here are some kitchens that while they would be great with typical wood or stone flooring, have been painted successfully..
