Making the most of colour
Today, the large variety of flooring designs offer many options in colours, structures and visual effects. The aesthetics of floors enter into an emotional relationship with people. For example, identification and curiosity are life prolonging and activating factors for ill people living in a healing environment.
Beautiful floors give people composure and dignity, thus contributing to a positive feeling. They stimulate or comfort, and they evoke other sensations, especially in combinations with light and sound. Floor design can help people slow down, concentrate, orientate themselves, have fun or to move freely.
