You can follow the rule that the floor in the room for greater psychological comfort should be darker than the walls, and in the bedroom more appropriate colors, such as beech or bleached oak, are appropriate, and in the nursery there is a bright nut or bamboo.
For the northern side and dark areas where you want to add sunlight, you can recommend golden shades of fruit trees, light oak, maple. Classical interiors require traditional floor design for oak, beech, ash, modern ones will be perfectly complemented by the colors of wenge, mahogany, zeban.
