BY CIOT

Every company has a story to tell and ours is a love story which transcends through three generations

In 1950, Giovanni Battista Ciot founded the company in an office building on Saint-Laurent boulevard where it still operates to this day In the beginning, Ciot specialized in production of terrazzo and installation products. Giovanni’s eldest daughter, Margaret, worked alongside her father

In 1967, Joe Panzera, a client of Ciot, took over the reins and began diversifying the products and services offered thus rejuvenating the enterprise Joe and Margaret married soon after and had two daughters to whom they passed down their passion for innovation and renovation. Today, this new generation is ushering in a new era for Ciot

For the past fifty years, our product selection has constantly evolved and offers an impressive array of natural stone, ceramic, plumbing accessories and most recently, hardwood floors Additionally, we offer custom mosaics and exclusive services for architects and designers Ciot is constantly at the cutting-edge of the latest trends.

Ciot is an undisputed industry leader Present more than ever in the market with its eight locations in Canada and the United States, the business has recently unveiled its latest store concept in Atlanta in October 2019

Harmonizing Bold Red Walls with Wood Flooring

The Behr 2025 Color of the Year is called "Rumors", a bold and sophisticated deep ruby red This color is meant to evoke warmth and drama, fitting seamlessly in both interior and exterior spaces. It has a rich, jewel-toned vibe, perfect for creating a focal point or making a statement in a room. Behr describes it as a versatile hue that can be used for anything from full wall coverage to smaller accent touches like furniture or even doors.

Pairing a bold and rich red hue like Behr's 2025 Color of the Year, "Rumors," with wood flooring requires a thoughtful balance of tones and textures. Since "Rumors" is a deep ruby red with a sophisticated and dramatic feel, the right wood flooring can enhance the room ’ s aesthetic by either complementing or contrasting with the wall color.

Flooringoptions

Light Wood Floors : Light, neutral-toned woods can create a beautiful contrast against the deep red walls The warmth of the wood softens the intensity of "Rumors" while maintaining an elegant and balanced look. These lighter wood floors help keep the space feeling open and bright, especially in smaller rooms where too much dark color might feel overwhelming

Medium-Toned Woods : For a more grounded and cohesive look, medium-toned woods with their golden or honey undertones, can complement the richness of "Rumors " These tones echo the warmth of red but add depth without overwhelming the room. The blend of warmth and sophistication creates a classic, timeless aesthetic.

Dark Wood Floors : Dark wood floors create a dramatic, luxurious feel when paired with "Rumors " The combination of deep red and dark brown or black can evoke a modern, Art Deco-inspired atmosphere, perfect for formal living rooms or dining areas The key to using dark wood is ensuring there is enough natural light to prevent the space from feeling too enclosed or heavy.

TexturesandFinishes

Matte Finishes: Matte or low-sheen finishes on wood floors can tone down the intensity of dark or medium wood options The subtle texture of matte floors offers a contemporary contrast to the bold "Rumors" walls without creating too much shine.

High-Gloss Finishes: On the other hand, pairing "Rumors" with a high-gloss wood floor finish can amplify the room's drama, especially with dark wood flooring This can be particularly effective in formal settings or areas where you want to make a strong visual statement

StylingTips

Contrast with Neutral Accessories: Pairing bold red walls and wood floors with neutral or metallic accessories (like gold or bronze) can create an elegant and balanced aesthetic

Warm Lighting: Warm-toned lighting helps enhance the natural warmth of the wood and the red hue of "Rumors," creating a cozy yet luxurious environment.

In summary, the best wood flooring match for Behr's "Rumors" depends on the mood you're aiming to create. Light wood floors offer contrast and openness, medium tones add warmth and harmony, and dark wood floors deliver a dramatic, high-end feel The finishes and additional textures you incorporate will further refine the look to fit your space

Fascination and respect for nature have always been at the core of Ciot' s product selection

Luxury is in the details

Ciot Legno brings to your home the best the forest has to offer

For over 50 years, we have travelled the world's quarries to find treasures hidden deep in the mountains We are continuously amazed at the eons of natural history recorded in every slab of precious stone and marble

We strive to unearth the most exclusive and unique natural products, and this time, it' s deep in the forest that we have fallen in love with one of nature's most beautiful and noble materials: WOOD

Very much like natural stone, every layer and coloration of wood is a testimony to the passage of time which makes every tree unique

Long driven to find the most exclusive stone products, we now pour the same passion into wood, researching its history and provenance We seek the utmost quality, the richest colors and the most exquisite finishes the world's best artisans can produce.
