Help Me Pick A Floor Style!

I am in the process of selecting a floor style/color. I know I want to either go with a light natural look (not too yellow, more pink) or a medium cool brown with hints of warmth.
Of the three samples in the picture, which one do you think looks the best?
Close-up of the light one, since the highlights got blown-out.

Comments (2)I think the link below should give you some ideas. If you have a granite supplier in you area, visit them for more options vs the home improvement stores. Here is a link that might be useful: finished kitchens...See MoreHelp me pick my floor!
Comments (1)Personally, I love the darker as well. It does have some red notes, but since you say that one of your goals is 'warm', well, I think it is much warmer looking than the lighter flooring. WE have an even darker floor in a hallway, and it camouflages dirt well until the morning sun hits it in the right way...then you see all the dirt. But it isn't hard to keep clean....See MoreUnknown style, but what I like. Please help me pick pulls.Photos
Comments (10)I was unable to get a photo of my cabinet doors after work. I was late getting out and the cabinetmaker's hours and mind did not match. I am curious as to what cabinet doors you would use these pulls on. The drawer fronts are completely plain and this is where I want the pulls. The small knobs are going on the door at the lower corner. The brushed pewter with the design inside the circle is a square knob 1 1/8". The square at the bottom of the door is a 2" square. Would you please show me some photos of the knobs you would use on these doors? I thought I was about ready to place my order, but now I am back to square 1, no pun intended. I originally had picked satin nickel cup pulls for the drawers and a square satin nickel knob, but the knob was 1 1/2" and seemed to large for the 2" square. Thank you.

Comments (5)Natural = classic AND contemporary AND modern AND transitional! Whew. Natural wood works in every situation. Transitional interiors often have white + natural wood as a theme. Think white cabinets (in a more traditional style) with butcher block counters and modern SS appliances. They are often light and airy. The light and airy is pulled off by the natural hardwoods. Contemporary = sleek but comfortable styling without too much drama = natural hardwood. Modern (eg. Scandinavian Modern) = big, scopey walls, big splashes of colour (both furniture and art) set off by natural/pale coloured hardwood (European Oak). Classic (think Museum flooring) = natural hardwoods or hardwood with an amberizing finish (oil based) that has turned "honey gold" over time. All of these themes can be 'pulled off' using a natural hardwood colour. As pretty as the white washed floors are, they are a trend that will (eventually) pass....See MoreSarah Davis
5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoThank you Sophie and housegal200, I appreciate your insight; we are not planning on replacing the sofa. Of course, photos don't capture the true color as in real life, but I agree there are some that are too gray; namely #2.
I had a fourth sample I ruled out, because I thought it had a touch too much gold.
What do you think?
I included #1 sample (right), so you can see the comparison. Note that it is close to our current carpet shade.Sarah Davis
