When it comes to wood floors, there are many different colors and hues.  You have to paint the walls with the many options in addition to the overwhelming choices.   To help you coordinate the interior paint with the wood floor colors, we at L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc. would like to share some general ideas.

Dark Brown Flooring Goes with what Color Walls?

Often being visually striking, dark hardwood floors need to be properly balanced with light colors in the space.   To offer comfort, you need a dark floor saturated in natural light.  Dark wood floors are ideal with homes featuring open floor plans for a cozier effect.  While offering a relaxing atmosphere, balance can be created by using soft shades of blues and greens to lighten the space.   While the subtle undertones found in the floor are perfect, you can compliment the dark wood floor, light beiges, greys, and other pale and light shades.  Paint the ceiling a bright white color brings contrast to the space but to allow more natural light to reflect in the area. 

Best Wall Paint Colors to Go with Light or Honey Floors

Light hardwood floors is a fairly popular choice with the interior designs of homes.  The lighter color is appealing to most since they can help make a room feel more open, bright the space, and help you conceal the dirt.  The light floor can be magnified with walls painted grey-blue or pastel blue. There are undertones in light floors, for instance when there are blue undertones.  Use a grey paint with an undertone of another color to reach the goal for a more inviting and relaxing environment with lighter floors that have grey or ashy tint. Paint the walls a creamy or off-white or even a darker tan for a crisp clean look that brings warmth and comfort to the space since light wood floors usually have brown undertones.  Utilize a semi- or high-gloss finish to increase the durability, other options that creates clean lines is using the wood floor’s color for the trim. 

What Color Paint Goes with Cherry Wood?

With the elegancy it offers and its versatility, cherry wood floors are a common application.  You can draw the eyes to the floor with the walls painted white with slight undertone that matches the cherry.  Paint the walls a green color if you want to ensure the wood floor is intensified.   Avoid choosing one with yellow undertones while choosing the shade of green.  With red painted walls as well as pastel colors, cherry floors also look stunning.  While creating a calming feel to the room, a grey with blue undertones is a popular option as it complements the cherry floor. 

 Paint Colors that Go with Oak Floors

Especially with defined wood patterns, solid oak hardwood floor is breathtaking.  Oak is known for its durability and longevity more than most other wood floor types.  Making most pastels ideal to compliment the deep reds the reddish hues in red oaks provides warmth which also lightens the room.  White oak tends to look a lot lighter than what homeowners expect once installed.  To make the subtle undertones in white oak stand out more, white paint is exceptional.  In order to make the white oak stand out, for those that prefer contrast, dark green, cinnamon, plum, navy, or charcoal/
