In the modern construction market, a variety of wood called “Bleached Oak” has become very popular. Such material is most often used for decorating walls, floors and ceilings, and furniture and interior doors are also made from it. Bleached oak has a pronounced texture and many different shades: yellowish-white, pinkish-white or grayish-white, called "Arctic oak". This will allow you to choose the most suitable finish for your interior.
Such wood goes well with many colors, fits perfectly into any interior and gives it a sense of comfort and coziness. The “white oak” color is most advantageously combined with shades of the cold gamut, since it itself has a cold “nature”. However, one should not be afraid to fit it into the interior with bright contrasting tones. An excellent addition will be chocolate brown tones, turquoise, impressive shades of red tones (burgundy, raspberry and purple) and, oddly enough, white and gray.
There can be only one drawback of light wood - joints. Dust and small debris are almost invisible on the floor of the color “bleached oak”, however, it clogs perfectly at the joints and accumulates there. Consequently, joints require additional and more frequent care.
The scope of application is quite extensive: these are all kinds of decorative elements, and various furniture, as well as floor coverings, for example, laminate. Bleached oak is a fairly light material, which means that it visually expands the space, making it lighter and more airy. Until very recently, only very wealthy people could afford finishing from such material, while now almost anyone can order the material that has become available. Many simply fall in love with this color because of its versatility and order not only floor coverings, but also panels for wall and ceiling decoration.
However, this will not make the space boring or monotonous, since the color of the coating will vary slightly depending on the light incident on it. And thanks to the wide variety of shades of bleached oak itself, the number of options becomes more than sufficient.
Perhaps now you are wondering what kind of color scheme to choose. In this case, you need to use a simple and simple hint that all professional interior designers use: first you need to decide on the main color of the interior, and only then choose the flooring. Warm colors prevail - you should choose a bleached oak in beige and yellowish red tones. If cold gamma prevails, grayish-white tones of the coating are chosen.
If you chose interior doors or ordered bleached oak furniture, then know that you have made the right decision. An oak treated in this way has a chic appearance, however, it should be remembered that such color accents should either contrast with the main color scheme, or have perfect similarity with other elements.
