Designing a space can feel overwhelming. You’ve got to think about furniture, lighting, windows, decor—the list goes on. But what if we told you that designing the perfect room doesn’t start with picking the couch or finding the right art piece?
It starts with two things: flooring and paint.
At Laws Flooring & Rugs in Jonesboro, we help homeowners build beautiful spaces from the ground up—literally. With a wide selection of premium flooring and a full range of paint options, we make it easy to set the tone, color, and energy of your home by focusing on what matters most.
The Psychology of Color Meets the Power of Texture
Color influences mood. Texture influences experience. When the two are combined, you can shape how a room feels before a single piece of furniture enters the space.
Let’s say you’re designing a calm and cozy living room. A muted sage green on the walls, paired with a plush neutral-toned carpet, creates an instant retreat. Want a bold, modern kitchen? Go for sleek wood-look luxury vinyl flooring in a deep espresso paired with bright white or matte charcoal walls.
It’s not about matching exactly—it’s about complementing and creating balance.
How to Start Your Design Journey
1. Choose Your Flooring FirstFlooring has permanence. It’s less likely to change in the short term and more central to the room’s identity. Hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, carpet—each one gives off a different vibe.
Hardwood is warm and classic. Tile is crisp and clean. Carpet is cozy and soft. At Laws Flooring & Rugs, our team helps you consider room function, foot traffic, pets, and your personal style before choosing the perfect base layer.
Once flooring is selected, the paint should support its tone and mood. Cool-toned gray floors? Try warm whites or dusty blues on the walls. Warm-toned oak flooring? Cream, sage, or even deep navy can bring it to life.
We carry a wide array of paint shades—so whether you want timeless neutrals or adventurous pops of color, we’ll find the hue that completes your vision.
High-gloss paint on walls reflects light and adds energy, perfect for modern kitchens or entryways. Matte and eggshell finishes are more relaxed, great for bedrooms and cozy living areas.
For flooring, a distressed finish on hardwood might match beautifully with a rustic wall color, while a polished tile floor may benefit from a soft, textured wall paint to avoid a clinical feel.
Don’t Forget Flow
If you have an open floor plan, visual flow is key. Even if you’re changing colors between rooms, keeping undertones consistent helps the home feel connected. Choose flooring that runs throughout shared spaces, and use accent walls or ceiling paint to define zones without breaking the visual harmony.
