Perhaps keep the color as natural as possible to compliment the greenery outside.

You can get basically 3 types of floating floors. I have different types of flooring explained on my website and it shows you the make up of each floor... What I would look for is....a floating timber floor with a minimum of 6mls of timber on it.. This way you can actually sand the floor just like a regular floor board. Make sure that you have someone to lay it that has experience...it is not just clicking it together... Also, make sure that whoever puts it down used and underlay...it is a thin sheet ...just as you would under carpet to stop any moisture and thirdly ... make sure that they run a glue line down each piece on the join, this will minimize movement. I have the different types on my website that you can have a look at and you sill see the difference. Hope this helps....Robyn www.wildinfusion.wix.com/wild-infusion-blog

The photo below is my suggestion for colour of floor. Furniture should be darker - similar to below. For the rug - choose one colour from the artwork and find a similar coloured rug. Don't put a mantle over the fireplace - it could be a health hazard - bumps and bruises. Blinds - unless you want them to make a statement I think white - to match window frames would be fine.

I think Riven refers to the texture of the surface. Ours looks and feels like real timber, and is not a flat shiney surface like most Laminex. Still very durable and water proof. I believe that it should only be used on vertical surfaces, which was not problem for us. Floors are a real personal taste thing. We got samples of the flooring and samples of the Sublime Teak, and then procrastinated for weeks. Our flooring has texture to it as well. We also had help form a great designer who worked in the tile store we used.
