White floorboards aren’t the most practical or durable option, but they are very trendy and stylish at the moment and many design fans are painting their floorboards white to create a bright and neutral floor that acts as a cool backdrop for the rest of the room.

If you’re afraid of pure white floorboards due to the maintenance and the work involved, you can stick to cooler toned wood for a similar feature but with a more natural and traditional twist.

If rustic isn’t your style but you love the light and neutrality of white, opt for a sleeker finish and modern accompanying décor for a stylish and seamless white floor to support contemporary fashions.
