My husband and I recently relocated from Indiana to Florida. We installed LVP in our Indiana home prior to selling. With so many different types of flooring (hardwood being one) we wanted a co-hesive look for the 1968 home prior to putting it on the market. We used floating as to not damage the existing hardwoods should the new owner choose to refinish. When we moved to Florida the home we bought had old carpet, it was a no brainer on our part to replace the carpet with LVP due to humidity issues is Florida. We used the same brand just a lighter shade in our very large greatroom, dining, kitchen and guest bath areas. LVP is easy to clean, wears well with our two dogs, stays cool and provides a great waterproof surface when coming in from the pool. It's affordable and relatively easy to install for any DIYer with some experience in home remodel. We get compliments all the time and visitors have to reach down and touch the floor as they believe it is hardwood. I am sold on the product.

If your home is very modern, you could try painting the trim the same color as the wall. Use trim paint though. We have recently stepped out of the "box" and tried this and LOVE it. We have gray walls with oak floors and now same color gray trim. I've also included the photo that inspired us to try this look.

that's more taupe/gray. from the pic, I'd say no. this color is betterhttps://www.amazon.com/Achim-Home-Furnishings-VFP1-2GO10-Planks just saw this Aquaguard (water resistant LVP) from Floor/Decor, Calico, $2.99 sf) go with more of a neutral charcoal. and you really don't want a flooring w/movement, since your countertop is so busy. look for something in a large vinyl rectangle or hex in a solid color. that will be your best bet. like this you will have to bring home samples and take pics w/your lighting. any chance you can do tile? 10-14" tiles could be laid down over what you have

I agree, yours is pine, not oak, but, it is still very nicely done, and I personally wouldnt be changing any of it. I dont think stained trim, is dated. It is just a notion some have gotten in their heads. I do agree, some should be painted, because, it probably wasnt done all that well in the beginning. (like the trim, and doors in my house). Yours seems to be done well, and is in great condition. You have a darker stain, than your inlaws house, is why the color is different. These days, to get any wood trim, that doesnt have to be painted, is very expensive. You have nice quality trim from older growth lumber, and I just would not paint it. I did paint mine (definitely not white though ), but, in my house, it was necessary, since it was not in great shape. It actually should have been all replaced, but...
