Please help me with the wood floor selection

Hi,

We have narrowed down to Acacia for our flooring. We prefer darker shades as it reduces the "busy"ness of the wood. I am attaching 2 wood samples..both are darker..one has a brownish shade and other one has red tinge. Which one looks good?

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated!

I would go with the wood floor that does not have strong red undertones. it is more likely to work better with other wood furniture pieces that you may have.

I have a very well built set of furniture my Father made - so for the emotional reasons I will not give it up. Then comes the BUT - it is pale and made out of solid birch with absolutely beautiful flaming, swirling type of wood - and I love dark almost black, black and some grey for my furniture. I like silver over gold, latter of which I will not accept. It is crime to paint wood - generally speaking especially when it is beautiful - and so I will not do. The set of furniture includes a bit over 3 m long very near ceiling height book selves with center area designed for the TV and a stereo.. electronics. It has its own lights. There is section with led-glass and other with wood doors - some open shelves. Down there is a bit larger base with drawers. Then there exists an additional extension which can also be set else where in a room. There is 1 sqm large a coffee table high enough to work as a laptop table with structural design and a hidden base compartment for a home safe (how ever not good for permanent work table - no way). I designed the table top for it and made it when I was a teen. The design includes glass cover. In addition I have a nicely sized, bit larger than usually lamp table with 3 drawers. I designed the legs for that - so they are not common type while still simple. They are more narrow at the ends than at the top. They have silver handles and traditional framed centers for the doors. The pale birch of the doors in this particular object found online is exactly what my birch is like - tone included... I like the black legs on that. I do like Art Deco - but something about this object just does not work. I need more options and ideas. This might be just the first and most important piece of furniture to get because... I prefer much more things like these.. Please help me to find that small, but not too small a piece that can unite well enough dark and the existing pale birch. Thank you.

Need advice about less ugly flooring option--French rental apartment

I see your point, It does look ugly :) Since its a rental apartment, do you have the authorization to remove it ? Because unfortunately, you can't put down vinyle over lino, it will not work (and its not because of the uneven floor). You can remove the lino and put another one, less ugly. It can be nice actually :) http://designmag.fr/design-dinterieur/lino-sol.html You are speaking about sticker, its quite cheap, why not trying and see if it fits with an uneven floor ? Although Im not sure that it will look pretty. Last solution, you can paint the lino, it will not last forever but it could be nice. Ask for expert advice to by the appropriate painting pots.

I take it you are removing the bamboo? The entire house is getting the engineered hardwood? Including the Kitchen? Or is it a straight swap "Acacia for Bamboo"?

The undertones are a personal thing. Right now the "cool brown" tones are in. The "reds" are out...and so too the "orange" tones. Which means that, fashion/trend wise both of your floors are on the verge of being "unfashionable".

Personally I believe you should go with your heart. There are many of us who prefer the reds of mahogany. I'm someone who has grown up with mahogany (thank you Great Britain for your colonial period) so I have a soft spot in my heart for "red".

Your "brown" version has quite a bit of orange in it. It is an orange/brown which would have an easier time making the direct swap between "gold/orange" bamboo to "brown/orange" Acacia. Same undertones for the two floors.

I guess this is personal taste. Are you planning on painting? Right now the brown/gold works better with the light sage paint...but the red works better with the light beige (I'm assuming you have different paints in the home...the photos are showing some distinctly different tones for wall colour).

Go with what makes your heart sing. Not trends. If you are an "orange/brown" person than have fun with the orange/brown. If you are a mahogany red gal (like me) then go with the red.

These colours are so close to one another that it is going to come down to personal wish...not trend.

I would suggest not to go with the red undertone. The key will be to match the right shade of 'brown' to the key colors that make up the majority of your soft furnishings. The 'brownish' shade will go better with the creams, gold, and peachy tones. Also, if you are a person who likes to redecorate your home often, this shade will adapt with you and is unproblematic solution that will also allow you to experiment.
