Here at Big Bob’s, we truly believe that a picture is worth a thousand words which is why we have a gallery of floors on our site for your browsing pleasure. In that gallery of floors, we show a variety of different room scenes with different flooring options and different design styles. Many of our readers have commented that they would like some insight into what makes these room scenes so appealing.

• The wider width plank hardwood used in this room was an excellent choice for the size of the room. The wider the plank, the larger the room appears.
• The graining of the hardwood helps add character, dimension and depth to the floor.
• The furniture compliments the stain of the wood, but doesn’t match exactly. Remember, it’s best to blend or coordinate, not match.
• The warm rich color of the walls creates a warm and elegant, yet comfortable feeling.
• The ceiling accent color adds to the warm feeling of the room and provides an accent color for decorative items such as artwork, florals, window treatments and a future area rug.
• The round table creates a comfortable walkway or path that will be excellent for the flow of entertaining.
• The metal in the light fixture ties in well with the metal pickets on the stairs in the adjacent room.
• The addition of an area rug would only further warm up the room. An area rug that blended the color of the walls with the ceiling color as an accent would look fantastic in this room. A darker background rug would give the room a more formal feel where an area rug with a light background would give the room a more casual feel.
