Gray is a mixture of black and white, but grey color is very rare in Nature. Wood has many and different appearances – a variety of colors, patterns and grains. Grey hardwood floors vary in many different ways depending on the species of wood, the intensity of the stain, and the variation of the coloring. Most often we see warm or cold shades of gray with hues of yellow, brown or beige hues in the warm end of the gray palette or blue and green tones in the cold end.

Gray is a special color and has really unique properties as it can be used to create different atmospheres and visual effects. It can give a feeling of peace and stability and the peaceful effect of the gray is enhanced when combined with white or other neutral colors. Grey hardwood floors look very clear and are the perfect choice for contemporary interiors or formal rooms.

Darker gray shades are the ideal backdrop for intense bold color accents, such as red, for example, while lighter grey hues work extremely well in grey and white bedroom ideas, with yellow, pink and natural wood. This means that to achieve the desired visual effect, color combination and ambience in the room, one has to choose the right grey shade so that the overall impression is relaxed and comfortable.

As a rule, dark grey floors visually reduce the space while light gray and medium gray floors create an atmosphere filled with air. As far as style is concerned, gray works perfectly for modern styles, such as high-tech, minimalist or urban loft and the shades of gray are reminiscent of metal, concrete and asphalt.
