dark or light floors!!!! help!!!

Kim Cardilli
hace 5 años
Hi! We are adding wood floors to our open concept family room (we are getting new couches too haha don’t mind the ones in pic) and thinking of refinishing our red oak floors!!! Deciding if we match color- make more “brown” - (these are jacobian but more yellow as mixed with polyurethane against our original wishes) - go a shade darker- or go lighter!! But how light?!?!? Or how dark??? Or keep same???? We have 6 boys (ages 7-15) and 2 English mastiffs - we are changing the kitchen cabinets to white next! Want to lighten the whole flow up- so doing white cabinets and counters- and the walls are a light grey color.....The main floor is all open concept and around 2,100 square feet.....what do you think!!!

ALL 3 pics are the exact same floor just turned around to take them.....

    I would keep the same as you currently have. Very dark floors show dirt and hair.

      I love the color of your floors now. Not too dark, not too light. Just right!!

      kimbreitzke I agree with previous posters. Keep the same color. BUT here is an important pieces to that. You need to make sure the additional wood flooring matches the species (Red Oak) and also the plank lengths and grade. Sometimes a contractor will use shorter planks for the new section and it wont look right. Be picky about this part.

      The color you have now is perfect. A medium stain is timeless. With red oak, when you go lighter they tend to read pink, which isn't very flattering. Dark floors are beautiful but they show EVERYTHING, so with small kids and dogs medium is best.

      As others have said, make sure they match the species when putting in the new flooring!

      I agree with everyone else, keep the floors! You mention that you want to lighten up, yet you have gray walls. I would definitely paint the walls a much lighter color, and nothing gray. You have a gorgeous home!
