Parquet in small apartments

• If you want to lay parquet in small apartments, you have to make sure that the grain of the parquet is not too coarse and that the colors of the parquet are kept rather simple.
• Large-area patterns in the parquet optically reduce the space. Troubled colors have a disruptive effect on the harmony of the room when the rooms are small.
• Canadian oak, Canadian maple or steamed beech are ideal for small apartments in terms of color and pattern.

The color for the wooden floor

• If you tend towards light colors for your parquet, think about beforehand whether you have pets or want to have them in the future. Soiling by animals often leaves discoloration on the parquet that is difficult to remove.
