Creating a beautiful home goes beyond choosing furniture—it’s about designing a space that reflects your personality and enhances your lifestyle. At Acadia Floor and Decor, we specialize in helping homeowners transform ordinary rooms into stunning, functional spaces through thoughtful flooring design, color coordination, and modern décor choices.
Whether you’re updating your floors, remodeling your living room, or giving your home a style refresh, here are five proven ways to elevate your interior design—from the ground up.
1. Layer Your Lighting for a Brighter, More Inviting Space
Lighting can completely transform how your flooring and decor look. A well-lit room highlights your interior design details and adds warmth and dimension. For a designer-quality finish, use three layers of lighting:
-
Ambient lighting: Recessed lights or ceiling fixtures that brighten the entire room.
-
Task lighting: Floor and table lamps for reading or work areas.
-
Accent lighting: Wall sconces, track lights, or under-cabinet lighting that accentuate textures, art, or flooring details.
💡 Pro Tip from Acadia Floor and Decor: Choose warm white bulbs (2700K–3000K) to enhance the natural tones of hardwood and luxury vinyl flooring. Installing dimmers lets you adjust brightness based on mood or time of day.
2. Mix Textures to Add Depth and Dimension
Texture is what makes a room feel dynamic and inviting. The best interior designers know that mixing materials—like wood, metal, stone, and fabric—creates visual balance.
Ways to incorporate texture:
-
Pair smooth hardwood floors with woven rugs or textured runners.
-
Combine leather seating with soft linen cushions.
-
Introduce natural stone or wood accents for organic warmth.
At Acadia Floor and Decor, our wide range of engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, and tile flooring allows you to create contrast and dimension that enhances your entire design. For example, wide-plank oak flooring pairs beautifully with plush rugs and sleek modern furniture.
3. Build a Cohesive Color Story That Complements Your Flooring
Color harmony can make or break your space. Start your design plan with your flooring color and undertone—it’s the foundation of your entire aesthetic.
Design tips:
-
For warm flooring tones (like walnut or cherry), choose creams, taupes, or earthy neutrals.
-
For cool-toned floors (like gray or ash), complement with crisp whites or blues.
-
Add an accent color—such as navy, emerald, or terracotta—for personality and contrast.
🎨 Acadia Insight: Neutral floors give you flexibility to change décor easily. Many homeowners love light oak vinyl plank flooring because it brightens rooms and pairs with virtually any color scheme.
4. Add a Statement Piece to Define Your Space
Every great room needs a “wow” factor—a design element that draws attention and creates a lasting impression.
Popular statement ideas:
-
A dramatic chandelier over a hardwood or tile floor.
-
A bold, patterned area rug that complements your flooring color.
-
A feature wall with decorative panels or textured stone.
-
Eye-catching artwork or a sculptural mirror.
At Acadia Floor and Decor, our premium flooring collections can serve as your statement piece. Options like herringbone-patterned hardwood or marble-look porcelain tile instantly add elegance and character.
5. Personalize with Meaningful Details and Home Decor Accents
A room feels complete when it reflects you. Personal touches make your home memorable and comfortable.
Add character through:
-
Family photos or travel souvenirs.
-
Indoor plants for color and freshness.
-
Layered textiles like throws, curtains, and pillows.
-
Scented candles or diffusers to engage the senses.
✨ Acadia Advice: When decorating, balance personal elements with timeless finishes—like wood floors or neutral tile—that will stay stylish even as trends change.
