Office:

Different types of companies also have different office decoration.

General offices choose neutral flooring, do not excessively require the sense of color design, and basically meet the functions, simple and comfortable style, not gorgeous or dull.

If you are in a company with young people and highlight innovation, enterprising and youthful vitality, you will choose some colors with bright colors and color collision on the flooring, which will make the whole office more energetic.

In some design companies, if they highlight their own design elements, they may choose flooring with a more sense of design. For example, antique brick design with low color purity and gray historical wood grain design

Hospital:

Although the flow of people in the hospital is also large, generally in the hospital, in order to relieve the pressure, we do not use special dark or dark colors. In ordinary places, we generally use neutral colors, which can resist dirt without depressing people. You can also use a slightly brighter color, which will make people feel better.

2) According to day lighting

When we choose the color of the floor, we first need to consider the lighting of the room. The lighting conditions of the room will have certain restrictions on the color selection of the floor. Rooms with excellent lighting conditions can choose a wide range of colors, and the color of the floor can be light or dark. Rooms with low floors or insufficient lighting conditions need to choose places with high brightness and bright colors, It’s best not to choose those dark floors. Otherwise, it will make the whole space dark and narrow, which is easy to produce a sense of visual oppression.

Here, we also need to pay attention to that if there is light in the room, it is better. Even if it is in a fully enclosed place, but the light is turned on during use, it also depends on the light intensity after turning on the light.

3) According to the area size

Color can affect the sense of visual space, bright and warm colors can expand, and cold and dark colors can compress. Therefore, for a room with a small area, it is best to choose those dark cold colors or choose the floor with simple and light colors, which will make the room look spacious and bright and give people an open feeling. If you use the floor with bright colors or warm colors, it is suitable for a space with abundant area, which can produce a quiet and stable effect.

4) According to the matching of floor and other indoor architectural styles

The color of the floor also needs to be determined according to the indoor decoration style. For different decoration styles, the color of the floor is also different. If the color of the floor is not appropriate to the decoration style, it will make people feel disharmonious. The pastoral and European style is very suitable for those fresh and natural styles, while the simple, modern and Japanese decoration style is more suitable, It is more suitable for those floors with simple lines.

If other building decoration is light color, the safe color selection range of sheet vinyl is large. However, if other buildings are dark, it is recommended not to choose too dark vinyl sheet flooring, so as not to make the whole space too dark and lose the sense of harmony.

5) According to the matching of floor and wall

Walls and PVC plastic floors can deliberately use close colors, such as close colors, showing a more enlarged and extended sense of space. The color of the floor is similar to that of the wall, so that the space can be extended and enlarged.

6) According to people's age

The color of the floor also needs to be selected according to the user’s age. We want the group faced by this building. If it is mainly young people, young people now always like those wooden floors with rich colors and certain visual impact, so that they appear energetic. If it is mainly facing the middle-aged and elderly people, the middle-aged and elderly people usually like those light and elegant sheet vinyl floorings. If it is mainly for women, the color of fashion and youth will be more suitable. If it is mainly facing children, the colorful and colorful vinyl sheet flooring will be more able to attract the children’s attention.
