New wood floors next to old wood floors
Comments (1)You won't need much (if any) matching "patina" on the new floors if you're determined to sand the old floors. Sanding removes most of it, along with most decorative stains. You may still have some stains like ink or old standing water marks on the old floor, and of course deep gouges, etc., will still be there. But you shouldn't have too much trouble matching the floors if they are sanded and sealed at the same time. If you feel there is still need of some additonal softening of the boundaries, a threshold works for a door way. If it's in the middle of the room (like when you take out a wall) an area rug over the meeting line - even if it doesn't cover it clear across the room - will pretty much fool the eye if the two floors have similar color and not too different widths and patterns.

Comments (3)Have your stair treads refinished to match whatever stain you pick for the wood floors....See Morenew house has rustic wood flooring and rustic wood ceiling white beams
Comments (2)I think you can't ever go wrong with white blinds. Especially if they are high quality custom ones, they will be around longer than your current color scheme....See MoreMatching new hard wood floor with existing floor
Comments (13)M., sorry, this isn't mine. just using some pics to show you examples. the 2nd photo is a red oak, completely sanded and done w/a natural finish. You'd be surprised at how beautiful old wood floors finish up! Call in a professional wood floor refinisher and get some estimates. it won't be an issue to match your existing solid wood flooring. https://www.svbwoodfloors.com/blog/wood-floor-faqs-whats-the-difference-between-a-lace-in-and-a-header/ here's a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDqi5NAnTKk look at this before and after https://adamsfloors.com/installation...See More- 13 years ago
