" Decorator Miles Redd says, &amp;quot;If you want the look, just paint it.&amp;quot; That instruction works perfectly for floors. Applying paint to the ground has had a long history of enlivening rooms, whether the whitewashed wood floors in traditional Swedish homes or the beautiful patterns made famous by tastemaker Pauline de Rothschild. A solid color can conceal unsightly cracks and highlight furnishings, while a geometric design or faux-stone motif adds instant drama.
