I am having hardwood floors installed in my living room and hallways. I have the old 1970's wood paneling all around the living room starting from mid wall to floor. The color of the paneling is almost a coffee brown or reddish mahogany color. One wall in the living room is all brick which is where the fireplace is located. The brick wall has mixed colors like dark red,brown and sandy reddish brown colors. I also have neutral or light earth toned colored porcelain tile in the front door entryway. I am trying to decide what color stain I should go with on my solid hardwood floors. Should I go with a more natural or reddish coffee brown mahogany color stain to match the wood paneling. The type of wood and texture I'm going with is Red Oak #2 hand scraped. I am looking to do a antique rustic or distressed look. I don't want my living room looking like a den or cave. HELP!!!! I need some advice!!!
Hi, I went with lighter oak floor as I did not want to be a slave to my dark floor. The dark floors show everything and require constant cleaning. I had painted my walls a rich brown color but repainted after a number of years as I found it too cave like. Hope this helps.
