Choosing your finish: Wood Effect vs. High Gloss

Black wood laminate flooring: This is the most forgiving of the dark options. The natural grain and texture help to break up the light, meaning it hides footprints and dust much better than a flat surface. It’s perfect for lounges and bedrooms where you want warmth and character.

Black gloss laminate floor: This is pure luxury. It reflects light beautifully, which can actually help a dark room feel brighter. However, it is a higher-maintenance choice—much like a black car, it looks incredible when clean but will show every smudge. It is best suited for rooms where you want maximum visual impact.

How to keep black laminate flooring looking fresh

Because black surfaces tend to show dust, smudges, and minor scuffs more clearly than lighter tones, they can occasionally lose their "day one" lustre. To refresh it and bring back that deep, saturated colour, follow these steps:

  • Deep Clean: Use a microfibre mop and a dedicated laminate cleaner. Avoid using too much water; a damp mop is all you need. Soap-based cleaners or vinegar can leave a cloudy film, which is often what makes black laminate look dull.
  • Tackle Scuffs: For minor surface marks, a soft, dry cloth can often buff them out. If there is a deeper scratch, a laminate repair kit (a hard wax stick matched to your floor's colour) is a smart, permanent fix.
  • Prevent the Dullness: The best way to refresh the floor is to stop grit from reaching it. Use felt pads on all furniture legs and place mats at every external door. On a black floor, these small preventative steps make a huge difference in maintaining that finished room feel.
