If you want instant transformation for your room, start with the floor. There are different kinds of flooring materials, each with its own decorative qualities. Ceramic flooring is a top floor material that can make a room look modern or more understated, elegant or down to earth, or creatively funky that no one would ever mistake you for a boring homeowner.

If you have ceramic flooring, half of the load is already done for you. In times of furniture replacements, moving the fixtures around won't be a backbreaking work. The surface is smooth enough for furniture to be moved effortlessly. Underfloor heating also functions best with ceramics, which makes for a warm room literally. And with the complements of rich shades, figuratively.

Ceramics also have different shapes, sizes and designs. Geometric patterns are common for a ceramic flooring as well as solid colors. Dark ceramics are outstanding with light walls and ceiling. Depending on the ceramic used, a room can look elegantly old-fashioned or stylishly contemporary.

Decorating the floor can simply be accomplished with the use of area rugs. Rugs are the most useful for spacious rooms or spaces that don't have much adornment, color or design. The area rug's color, design, shape or pattern can be a moving contrast from the room's walls or furnishings, or a seamless match to the rest of the room. Decorating is always enhanced with the use of area rugs.

The design of a floor is often overlooked when decorating a room but the truth is that, when done properly it can have a huge impact on the look of the room overall. Given the amount of space taken up by the floor, it is better to keep any design quite simple, and put the details into the furniture, artwork, fixtures and fittings. Furniture, etc, is easily changed, but pulling up an entire floor of tiles is rather more work and a lot messier. Keep the floor simple - a black and white geometric design is as complex as you need to get and put the details in above floor level.
