Help picking a floor stain color for red oak hardwoods!?
Comments (4)Hi John, do you have any photos of the space you could post? That might be helpful. In general, it's trickier to make wood floors work with wood stained cabinets, but I've done it. Since you don't want reddish floors, I'd aim for a cooler brown - more towards a walnut. I would NOT do ebony floors; those super-dark floors are impossible to keep looking clean. They show dust, lint, grass, etc. Also, what stain product is your contractor using? Most come in pre-mixed colors. That may determine the palette you have to choose from. Other stains can be tinted or adjusted if needed. Adding green to a stain color, for example, will help cut the red of the oak floors. You have to go easy though, you don't want to end up with a noticeable green tone. You're welcome to email me directly if you want more info - I don't check messages on here very often.

Comments (7)You don't want to pick the floor color in isolation. It has to work with the elements you are not going to change. Are you keeping the wood beams? Are you keeping the exposed brick? Are you planning on painting? Do you already own furniture that you will be using long term or will you be buying new in the next few years? I suggest using some online or phone apps where you can upload the picture of the room and change flooring materials - test different looks in your room and decide what color you are aiming for. I think that the wood beams and red brick make your space unique and wonderful, so I would use that to plan the rest of the space (flooring stain, paint colors, furnishings), but you need to decide what you love and how to make it work in your home....See MoreHickory hardwood flooring stain options… please help!
Comments (1)Get more than one opinion . Hickory is very easy to work with once you know how. And after a good sanding, hickory takes stain really well. But that's the key. You need to sand it really well. To open up the pores, start sanding with heavy grit sandpaper - we suggest starting with 100- grit....See Morerevwoods_sw
