Wall color I love and hardwood floors too!
Comments (7)Here's the other close up picture. A lot of these colors do look very similar to the picture I posted. Lolauren, what color do your walls look like at night? Are they more grayish? I would have never looked at any paint samples under Gray, lol. Dlm2000, that's a beautiful color but I think the picture I posted has a little more yellow in it. Thanks for the links, Sueb. Will go check them out now. Dee...See MoreWall/trim color suggestions with espresso hardwood floors?

Personally, I love espresso floors with a warm taupe, warm white trim and beautiful lighting! I'd avoid cool grey tones. Cruzmisl, your picture didn't post. Could you try it again? Hope these help... good luck!...See MoreTrying to figure out what color to stain my red oak hardwood floors. M
Comments (6)A light or no stain on red oak will give you pink floors, so best to go with a medium brown. A medium tone is also classic - as styles swing back and forth from light to dark I think it's best to be in the middle. Who wants to refinish their floors every 5-10 years? This way you won't have to do it again until they need it instead of when fashions change. Just don't go too cool on the brown - they shouldn't look gray. Gray floors are definitely out on the coasts - if this hasn't happened yet where you live it is on its way....See Morewhat are the trending hardwood floor colors?
Comments (31)The house I grew up in had oak hardwood throughout and I remember being so embarrassed by my mom's oriental area rugs and our floors. All my friends had wall to wall carpet in their homes and I thought our house was old fashioned and ugly. Then I lived in a dorm with cement floors, tiny NYC apartments with parquet floors, and finally, in my 40's, I had a place with wall to wall carpet. They looked crummy and you couldn't change them. UGH lesson learned. So I bought a 100 year old house with original old growth hardwood and I haven't looked back. Today I think non-trendy, classic, hardwood floors are the most lovely thing in the world. I love the grain in the wood, the warmth they give a room, and I have come full circle on the oil finish. I don't like grey toned floors, or dark stained floors, clearcoat light floors can have a weird pinky hue sometimes. Nothing beats a natural wood grained floor, unstained, and three coats of satin oil finish. Oak, cherry, walnut, douglas fir, red birch, and the exotic woods look best just left alone and unstained....See MoreRelated Professionals
