Flooring and Trim Help Please

Renee
5 years ago

I’m looking to update this living room area. I would appreciate any input, especially in regards to flooring and trim choices. The house has all oak trim, doors, and cabinets. I am wanting to do what is best for eventual resell within the next 5 years. I'm planning on changing the flooring throughout the entire upstairs.


Would the flooring be better in a really light or dark wood instead of oak? If so, which would look better light or dark wood? I’m having trouble picturing this. If I do go with a wood flooring, that is not a matching oak color, would I also need to paint all of the trim white- including around the windows? All of the interior doors are also oak. Would these need to be changed as well?


Would changing the flooring mean that I would then need to do something with the kitchen cabinets? I’m afraid one change is going to cause a cascade of needed changes throughout the entire house.
