Tuscan Flooring to Match Italian-Inspired Interiors

 

Give Tuscan flooring the ideal home by creating a haven of Italian style. Read on to find out how.

 

Tuscan style is a form of interior design inspired by the natural beauty of Italy’s countryside. It focuses on natural elements and earthy tones to create a simplistic but highly stylish overall design. Tuscan style in its purest form is very rustic, with an abundance of natural materials such as stone, wood and iron. This type of interior design is popular with people looking to create a welcoming home reminiscent of an old Italian villa or farmhouse.

Walls and Tuscan Flooring

True Tuscan style is based on natural-looking stone and wooden floors, such as the aptly named Tuscan flooring. These are complemented by textured walls which create a really rustic feel whilst adding another sensory element to the design. Predominant colours for those looking to adhere closely to the traditional style are browns and greens, along with sandy tones, russet and golden shades.

Furnishings and Accessories

To create a genuine Tuscan look, furnishings should be solid and simple. Functional elegance is a high priority, and wood will undoubtedly be predominant in the furniture chosen. Stone may also be incorporated, either on the floor or as worktops or table tops. Stone accessories also work well to complement the look. Stone statues and vases can really add depth to a Tuscan-inspired design.

Vibrancy can be added to rooms with colourful ceramics, which are a traditional element of Tuscan style. Wrought iron will also add a characteristic touch, whether it is incorporated into light fixtures, accent tables or even picture frames. The combination of iron and wood not only adds something visually, but it also provides texture and added interest in any room.

Heart of the Home

The kitchen will be central to any Tuscan-styled home. Stone or stone-look flooring will be the order of the day in this room, along with wooden or stone worktops and natural units. A real Tuscan kitchen will have plenty of pots and pans on show, as well as a plethora of colourful herb pots and condiment jars that are as practical as they are attractive. This will undoubtedly be a working room with a strong focus on functionality as well as rustic style.
