# How to Design a Living Room With Dark Wood Floors
Instructions

1
Paint your living room's walls white or a soft color to balance the room. The combination of dark floors and dark walls results in a drab and depressing room, which conflicts with the intended mood for the living room.
-
2
Cover one wall in a bright color as an accent wall. An accent wall brings the attention to the wall and anything on it, which decreases the natural tendency to focus on the dark floors.
-
3
Decorate the room with light colored furniture. Neutral colored furniture creates an aesthetically pleasing combination in the living room, as the furniture's color balances the dark floor.
-
4
Place an area rug in the living room to break up the amount of darkness in the room from the floor. Swap out the rug as desired to freshen up the look of the space.
-
5
Set the mood with ambient lighting, which can soften a room that is too dark and is relatively inexpensive.
