Does the living room stand alone or are there other rooms/floors visible from living room that need to be considered? Maybe look to mid to light tones of browns with little to no grey in them. A photo of the space would be helpful.

So it faces west? What else?

The way to select a floor is IN your own home. Narrow your selections to three at most, BUY A BOX of each and lay the planks out and decide.

Is there a better way? No, there is not. why? Because you can tell little from a sample board of LVP, and you need to see MORE of that flooring to avoid nasty surprises, a boatload of money wasted in a big disappointment. That is why.

Multiple floors are a killer of unity in any home, so consider any other flooring nearby. Don't butt LVP to another wood floor, don't do a room at a time, as these often get discontinued.

Beyond that? Nobody can answer which floor, you haven't enough info, no pictures of the space, we have no idea what is next to the space, no idea your style or anything else: )

A picture paints a thousand words. Its amazing, complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a few photos. Don't be shy just do it, post some images of the space and you will find the talented designers here will be happy to help with ideas.

I love wood floors. I agree all floors throughout a home on the first floor should be the same. It makes a space look more unified and put together. I have a west facing family and sun room. I have dark dark dark floors that while I adore tend to show more dust in the evening because of the light trickling in through the windows. Would I do it again? in a heartbeat. But my dark is chocolate, where you dark is slightly more gray than your other choices.

What is your style?

What are the colors on your wall?

Furniture colors, textures and design?

What feeling are you trying to convey?

Would you classify your space a midmod, country, traditional, coastal, rustic, farmhouse, urban,...???

Once we see some photos we can help with how to find the right floors. And then once you narrow it down to 3 or 4 colors bring those samples home. Eventually you might buy a box from the two favorites. I was lucky my floor guys gave me sample boxes to put out to see if they would work. I have engineered hardwood.

Lastly, one thing I did after narrowing down my choices, I scoured the web to find any and all photos of the floor brand color and make style. I searched Houzz to find others who used the same exact engineered hardwood floor type. I asked my installers if they could direct me to their other clients with the same floors. This helped me to make my final choice. Of course my home with different windows, textures, furniture, colors.. had an impact on how the final floor came out.

Here are some ideas of similar colors that you have above.

@Boxerpal This is for a new construction and im looking for modern or farmhouse look. entry way is in east and living room , dinnette falls on the west. cant really bring a box to check.

"Can't bring a box to check"

You don't have to bring it to the site - you can lay out a box anywhere, and you do that with your kitchen cabinet sample, your counter tops etc sample.

Or you can take the chance you will love a house full of the stuff.

What is open to what in your home? Are you planning other types of flooring on this living floor or is it going everywhere, considering this is LVP?

SHOW your floor plan.

Wonderful. If I find any modern farmhouse Ideas I will definitely post them.

What is the manufacture of your floors? I can not tell by the tiny photo. Maybe you can search on Houzz for the same floor to get some ideas. Of course the photos on Houzz have all been touched or used with giant powerful flash so colors can always seem brighter.

Wishing you luck on your new home.

JAN living room, entry, dinette,kitchen and dining room are lvp and flex room , stairs are carpet on the main level. on second floor all the rooms an walkway are carpet except for laundry and bathrooms. fireplace is stone.

Article may help regarding the many considerations, but suggest testing, as it’s a long term commitment and will have a major influence. https://www.charlestoncrafted.com/hardwood-flooring-trends/

@Boxerpal shaw and cortec flooring comes in allowance of builder

I understand budget. It's still a big commitment. You are obsessing on the wrong thing. You haven't informed cabinetry, nor counter tops.

It's a production/tract home, and you get to pick from what is there in your picture? You need better pictures, not at that angle and out of the lighting in the flooring store.

WITH the other mia information, cabinetry, and counter tops.

Should I select cabinets first then flooring ?

countertops we eere thinking of something like below

Addressing your first question, I don't care for any of the choices on the floor. West exposure needs the right wall color, and there are many from which to choose. I'm using S W Silver Strand here because it is a light, easy color, with a vague green undertone, with this Cortec floor.

Penmore Walnut

for this effect.

IMO this cannot be done here . You need to see the samples on a nice sunny day outside in real light Then when doing your lighting in the house all LED 4000K to mimic that bright sunlight. I agree you can gbring a box to anywhere and lay it out to see a whole choice of grain for sure .You do farmhouse is a wholr resft of things that are actsully now becoming dated . What colors do you like and do you like warm creamy whites or tend to lean toward cooler grayer tones in other things? I find those samples you show mostly have a yellow undertone so you need to figure what tones you tend to like even in what you wear. Flooring, wall color lighting and all your stuff have to work together .

You select:

Cabinet painted or stained

Counter and NONE of those except the top one. Quartz is fine, choose something less obviously "faux marble" and less strongly veined (like the top one) in your picture.

What ARE the kitchen cabinet options from the builder?

And before anything else? You get dimensions on this not great at all kitchen....

We don't know your family, kids, etc. I do know that is one BAD and useless pantry as shown

Post a plan with all the dimensions, and the kitchen plan which can't be this. Where??? Is the fridge?

Check the clearances, what is the dimension in the dinette? Given island and door? I doubt you fit more than a 48 inch diameter table and four chairs.

Jan we planning on painted cabinets. builder grade cabinets are mdf based and we think to upgrade atleast island to wood materiel and paint it same as perimeter. pantry is of 10.5x4ft and island is 7ft. Fridge, oven and pantry door in order.

A four foot by ten foot long pantry? Do plan to walk into the space? You will have ten running feet of 12" deep shelving.........................? Because you do need room for a human body to BEND OVER?

Your range is directly in traffic path from the mud area and garage : (

We checked the model it should be good enough for 1 person. there isn’t much space to expand as well. only 4 feet on the left is hard to reach because of fridge and oven laying there. orelse they are just going to close the space as dead space.
