Hello,
we need your input to help us choose the right wood color for our flooring.
We are still looking for the floor for the upper floor and attic hallway and rooms, and we want to install the same floor throughout.
We plan to install a vinyl/design floor ourselves in the upper hallway and rooms. Which look would you recommend?
We like a darker wood tone, but are concerned it might clash too much with the relatively light beech staircase.
Here are a few examples we are considering. Feel free to suggest others as well.
We mainly need help with the look.
Just to clarify, we do not want parquet. Only laminate or vinyl/design flooring were options for us, and from what I found, vinyl is better than laminate.
Please do not recommend parquet instead.

Yes, we definitely want to install laminate/vinyl flooring because it can be laid as a floating floor and we can do it ourselves.
Tiles are not an option for us.
I like the dark wood tone I posted best. (dark wood with a grayish tint)
However, we will make sure that the floor is not too similar to the staircase; there should be a clear contrast.
What do you think about pictures 1 and 2? Are they too similar to the staircase?

Schorsch_baut16 Feb 2023 15:25My issue with the two samples is that the beech wood has a warm, reddish tone, while the vinyl samples have a cool color tone. In my opinion, they clash quite strongly, especially when different textures are added. I would get a sample piece of the stair wood and take it with me when shopping around. Maybe lean more towards ash with a whitewashed finish.

There are laminate floors (probably vinyl as well, but I’m not 100% sure) with a tile look. I’m not sure if you were referring to my last post, but if you did, you didn’t read carefully enough...

I would say we are getting the standard beech.
The stair treads are lacquered. Honestly? I have no positive associations with this beech color. It was popular when white tiles were all the rage. It has a kind of nursing home vibe…
However, these beech treads are included in almost all standard building specifications, including ours.
We had them stained before lacquering. Ours are now a chocolate-nougat shade. Black/ivory wasn’t available from the long-established stair company. If you’re planning to have hardwood flooring or any wooden furniture, I’d suggest asking about staining. 😉
