Whether it s matching a dining table to an existing hardwood floor or trying to mix various wood furniture pieces together many people are hesitant to combine different woods in a space.
Matching with dark hardwood.
If you are choosing to match furniture to the floors go with a lighter color on the walls.
Gather samples with different intensities of the same color then pair them with the existing faded floor.
Avoid darker variations of brown and yellow as they can be too much of a contrast from your floors causing a clash.
Here are a few tips to choosing walls to complement dark hardwood floors.
When choosing paint colors for dark hardwood you will want to consider the undertones in the stain used to finish the floor.
If your floor is black or almost black in color you have a very elegant foundation from which to work when picking out your wall paint color.
You don t always need contrast where dark floors are concerned matching wood furniture as closely as possible to the color of your floors is a simple way to make your space feel elegant and put together.
But mixing wood tones can be just as beautiful as mixing metals in a room.
When the floors have a dark wood finish light to medium wood finishes on the furniture.
Between grey beige taupe or greige neutrals are a great way to match your light wood floors while still giving your walls character.
Choose whichever sample is closest in color to the existing floor.
Even though the match may not be exact once furniture area rugs and accessories are added to the space the slight difference in floors will be minimized.
