What kind of wood flooring would go well with grey slate tile?

Comments (9)Sigh. Nope. You have a peachy-gray floor tile downstairs and a flaming red/orange/brown floor upstairs. There is really no match. The ONLY thing I can think of = ebony coloured floors. Sigh. Yep. Wood that is SOOOOOO dark it almost looks painted (match the dark grout lines). This is really the only thing that will pull these two floors "together". And living with a SUPER DARK floor is HELL. I wouldn't recommend it. You have a very good eye for complimenting the tile. The vinyl floor you have chosen is a beautiful match to the tiled floors. If this is your MAIN floor and the tiles are STAYING FOR 15 YEARS OR MORE, then I would suggest you IGNORE the Santos Mahogany and run the floor you want into the space. But IF YOU PLAN on removing the tile in the next 5-7 years, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you stop and take a breath. You will need to sit down and figure out what direction you want to the space to take when the tiles are removed. If you are doing renovations 1 step at a time, you BETTER HAVE a 7 year renovation plan IN PLACE. That plan will include COLOURS. You will want to create a story board (just like they do when making movies or TV shows) that documents what COLOURS you want things to be at the END of the 7 year plan. Whew. This decorating stuff is not as easy as it looks! And then the next question becomes, how long are you planning to keep the Santos Mahogany?...See MoreWhat kind of style is this, and what might go well with it?
Comments (18)I don’t have specific advice, but twice in the last year I stayed in historic buildings that were recently restored and converted into hotels. They maintained the fabulous ironwork of their original era, but they were paired with very clean-lined, modern furnishings and lighting, and the juxtaposition was stunning. I think Beverly’s advice to be consistent and have a vision is key. If it were me and I wanted to feature these beautiful railings I’d if at all possible bring in a designer. I’m curious to find out if the railings are a definite style. I saw a bit of French, art nouveau and maybe even a little English arts & crafts. Definitely too delicate for Tuscan. Congratulations on your beautiful new home....See MoreWhat color/style of floor tiles would go well with this vanity?
Comments (6)The bathroom's fully gutted. No walls, flooring or other material yet. That's what we're trying to decide now. I was thinking of going with simple white walls because the space is so small. We've only purchased this vanity and sink (a slightly longer version than the picture), a matching linen tower (the grey wood color) and bathroom hardware in chrome. We've also purchased a simple mirror with LED lighting all around....See MoreRelated Professionals
