There’s nothing more relaxing than a day at the beach. That’s why so many people are turning to beach-themed decorating for their at-home coastal getaway.

Whether your room is open and large or small and cozy often makes a difference in choosing the best flooring color. Light hues, for example, often open up a small space and give it the feel of being larger. On the other hand, darker, earthy color choices for the floor can make a large and cold room feel warmer and more intimate.
