Choosing a Floor Color

It seems like an easy task; choosing a floor color, yet it always ends up taking days and multiple debates. Too dark, every speck of dirt shows. Too red, and it looks dated. Too light, and the wood grain doesn’t pop. So go with middle of the road medium? Maybe?! How ‘bout we just flip a coin?!?

But there’s a better solution:

And this is going to sound crazy…but…let your house decide! Spending time in your home throughout the day, with different lighting, will tell you if that gorgeous ebony stain is too dark or absolutely perfect! Also, always have your flooring specialist stain a few samples to see the color options on your wood. Compared to teeny-tiny piece of paper, this will give you a more tangible sample. Although, keep in mind that it will be covering a vast area and will have a clear coat which will cause the color to be ever so slightly different. Let your space speak to you and your color choices will be on point, time and time again.
