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.

I would rather focus on the staircase and invest money there instead of making various compromises to somehow match an unsuitable staircase with the rest.
Very clear and strong colors (light green, red, blue…) look good with this kind of beech wood, which is why we chose core beech for the furniture in the children’s room. The wood looks warm and cozy there. But in my opinion, beech simply does not fit a modern living style. And a staircase is not something you can just replace quickly. Since you are buying one now anyway, the additional cost for a different option will likely be less than replacing it completely later on.
For comparison: We have two beech staircases. Replacing one with a white timber stringer staircase with oak treads (the other one would have been completely white) would have cost €17,000 at the beginning of 2022. It’s better to make a bold choice and pick what really fits. We ended up painting our two staircases white ourselves because the replacement cost was too high.
