Struggling to choose a color for your new wood floor? Don’t stress, you’re not the only one. You may be torn between choosing a color that matches the rest of the wood floors in your house or one that matches your kitchen cabinets - so we’re breaking down some color options below:
Unstained White Oak
Lighter colors in their natural state can make any space feel calm and serene. They can also help brighten up an otherwise dark room, and can take a smaller space and make it feel more airy and open.
Keep in mind that lighter-colored floors will often take on the color of the coating. If you choose an oil-based finish it is common to notice a golden tone. Similarly, since wood is a natural material, it will be faced with aging and color change over the years. Try to imagine what your floors will look like 5-10 years down the road when making your decision.
Deeper, Darker Stained Oak
Darker stains, such as brown, are nice if you want to avoid a gold or orange tint. Dark, rich stains are perfect for floors with a distinct pattern as they will help to bring out the wood grain.
It is important to consider the color of the furniture in the room. If your table or furniture legs are similar in color to your floors, consider adding an area rug to create a transition.
Reclaimed Floors
If light-colored floors and dark stains don’t resonate well with your design ideas, you can always opt for reclaimed wood. Reclaimed natural oak can look as if it has been stained even when it’s not - a great option if you prefer a charming aged look.
