What color floors should we do?

il y a 10 mois

We need to replace our cheap, discontinued engineered floor and need a different color. What would you suggest? Not a fan of grey tones. Doors are all new, kitchen is new so wanting something will compliment it all and not clash. We’re just embracing our wood tones/90s traditional home so aren’t going to be painting doors. Thanks!

How about considering warm, rich tones like a classic walnut or a cozy oak? These colors can bring some natural elegance to your space while complementing your new doors and kitchen. Just make sure to grab some samples and see how they jive with your existing wood finishes.

Personally, I would do hardwood in a lighter color than your cabinets, close to the color of your doors and trim. You could do an engineered hardwood (pre-finished real wood, not fake plastic "wood") which is a cleaner/faster install than a site-finished hardwood. Pros and cons to each. Or were you thinking of a different direction like tile or LVP floors?

I am also not a fan of grey on the floor.

Colours - which colour and where!?
Q
Commentaires (0)
This is the wall of my living room leading up to the stairs. We would like to paint a wall - hubby thinks wall with painting and chimney which protrudes from the wall. I'm inclined to think the back wall on either side of the chimney (more work). What do you think - we do have high ceilings... Now the second problem is the staircase...we will varnish the stairs the same colour as the parquet BUT...the banisters and upright were painted white at some point partially sanded and now look strange. I want to paint them because there is a lot of crevices and I think it will be too much work to sand it all done. We are leaning towards a darker colour - in the picture it looks black but in fact it's a a dark shade of blue. I was also thinking of F&Bs "Black Blue". I would like any and all suggestions on where to paint and colour ideas. Thanks so much!

comments on furniture placement?
Q

Hello Catherine, It seems like a different solution is somewhat blocked by 1) the size/shape of the room, 2) the door and window positions as well as 3) the type and size of the furniture... (sorry I know this is obvious). Something has to give... Could you give the exact room size and confirmation of doors or passages? (door to the right? arched passage to the left of the piano?) Is the furniture that you have included actual or new? What are their footprints? How is the bay window done? full height floor to ceiling? starts at bench height? How is the window exposed? East, West, North or South? How high is the fireplace and is it's angled wall also full height? Most upright pianos are around 1m30 (or à little more than 4 feet). Putting a TV above it can be an option, but perhaps a little uncomfortable, not to add that visually it will be an odd addition unless you take the "fake painting" version (ex Samsung "The Frame"). thanks in advance, Lynn

are the doors and cabs the same color?

if so, i would stay in that family and go 2-3 shades darker. if your home gets little natural light, then i would go lighter.

if u stay in the same color famiy, then whatever shade u choose, it will be a cohesive look

Something like this floor color can pick up cabinet, door and trim colors.

I'd go lighter...bring in samples. its impossible to know your interest in grain/knots/texture/ hand scraping or other effects which are elements to capture / or not... A variety of samples that you evaluate for a few days , in the space will help the most. I'd take the first one w a few knots and adjust the tone , depending on how things look in your home.

I agree with Herbflavor's point, lighter white oak floors could go with your decor too. Here are a couple of installed pictures.

@Mrs Moon Your new doors are lovely. Love the wood casing and trim too. If it were my home I'd choose a beautiful stone and heat it underneath. Otherwise I think the beauty of your wood risk being lost. Whether you like the thought or not, good luck! https://www.houzz.com/magazine/your-floor-how-to-find-right-stone-tile-stsetivw-vs~528881

We have natural wood trim and white ash hardwood floors. The floors are natural ( never stained). Lighter floors are wonderful.

Here’s a mash-up of your woods with the floor Unique Wood Floors posted. I think all the woods go nicely together.

And here are your woods with the white oak. I prefer the warmer look of the floor above.

A natural Hickory could go nicely in your decor if you don't mind some natural wood variations.
