Wood Floor Color Advice

RE: Wood Floor Color Advice Post by kibby (80) | (10/31/2008) Contact Go with a darker floor--russet or burgundy. It will be elegant. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Wood Floor Color Advice Post By Kathy (Guest Post) (10/31/2008) I have traditional furniture. Floral fabric recliner, burgundy leather recliner with grommets, & a couch and loveseat in an elegant burgundy/gold/subdued green plaid. Couch & loveseat will be replaced in a year or 2 so not too concerned about them. Dining room has medium antique oak table, china closet and buffet. LR and DR open to each other. Both add up to about 400 sft. Not big rooms. Fairly good natural light. Can't decide on color of new hardwood floor. Buying prefinished so limited in choice. House is colonial so i feel like the lighter colors wouldn't work well and am leaning toward a gunstock color which appears to be medium in color but does have some red in it. Any suggestions? Hate to make a mistake. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Wood Floor Color Advice Post By Karoline (Guest Post) (10/29/2007) I have a slate gray with black grout wall/fireplace.

We are planning to have hardwood floor in the kitchen. Please let me know what color (hardwood) floor do I need to choose. I am interested in contrasting colors. Would a butterscotch hardwood color be fine? Also, please let me know if the matching hardwood colors looks great in this case (with regency bronze cabinets). Best Regards, Tara from Pennsylvania Answers: RE: Hardwood Floor Color Suggestions Whatever you do, be sure to take flooring samples home and lay them on the floor next your cabinets. Look at them in the daylight, with and without the lights on and later after dark with the lights on. Store lighting can distort the way colors look. As far as the color itself, I would recommend a strong contrast between your flooring a cabinets, either lighter or darker, so that you don't end up with the look of endless wood.
