What color of furniture legs/fabric goes well with white oak flooring?

last year

last modified: last year

Hi, I am shopping for furniture for my family room (rendering below). I cant take an actual picture since its protected, electrician and plumber are still back and forth. All built-ins on renderings are finals and pretty accurate in color. Only the furniture has to be decided. It is a white oak, with a stain of Natural Bona and slightly whitened. Remodel design is very modern, so I was looking for 1 couch and 2 chairs placed as in the rendering below, but probably a little slimmer, especially the chairs, since space is tight. Which color do you suggest for the legs and fabric? I like this West Elm Lottie Chair , and not sure what is best, if brass or black legs. Black would match the spider light fixture on top. Any idea with pictures for modern furniture with light white oak flooring is appreciated. You can also see a 3D walkthrough rendering here: https://neo.foyr.com/magiktour/index.html?view=629c376d5f4b3639ba140c85

Maybe a basalt tile in a gray would work? But you will need to seal that of course, but if you want a gray even a slate would work with your flooring and cabinets. Tile per se will be tricky because it is going to look a bit odd if you aren't careful. Any reason other than cost you aren't using the wood throughout? This wood is darker than what you are doing, but kind of gives you an idea of the darker slate with the wood and white cabinetry and modern styling.

Such a nice space! All that wood is going to boss around your decorating. You are smart to try to work with it instead of fight it with cool colors. I think orange is definitely out as an accent color. It is just going to enhance the orange tones of the wood. I would consider painting all the doors in the dining space, it will make the space look less chopped up. I saw on another thread that you are replacing the kitchen floor. Have you considered a slate look tile with faint brown accents? Your floor will have a nice clean look and the accents will work with the wood and will look good with your taupe cabinets. Daltile porcelain slate.

And believe me… I’m an over thinker. I looked at a gazillion whites and read a bunch of articles about undertones, which way the condo is facing, etc. So glad I just went with it.
