Favorite Dark Wood Stain Colors

Love having clients who want to refinish their floors. Love it love it. Flooring makes such an impact on the setting for the home. It’s like the canvas to build on and create the perfect space. I love working with clients and their flooring options, because, it is the BIGGEST  and most INFLUENTIAL part in a home and, unfortunately, it is my own personal item on my to-do list. I guess I get to live vicariously through my clients.

We will be using a professional flooring company that works with Duraseal Floor Stains.

My clients are great, and wanted dark flooring. But as a few days passed I heard, “not too dark.” At first, I got to know that their taste was very transitional meets clean lines and woods i.e. Room and Boards. Yet, again, as days passed I got to know them better and heard from the Mrs., that a little less modern meets YHL (young house love) is okay. Basically, we have a Mr. meets Mrs. taste as they discover their new found home.

Well, no problem. I narrowed it down to three mixes I hope they will like. We will have a sample showing in a few days, who knows, maybe we will have to pick a new mix!! fingers crossed.

Options are:

Another mix I believe will go well for my clients, is 50/50 Dark Walnut with Provincial. This mix is more of a cottage meets modern feel. Getting a little cottage for the Mrs. and a more modern feel for the Mr.

Now, another favorite for this specific build is Dark Brown and Ebony with a MATTE finish. It is a tad lighter but has that Room & Board, for Him, and that rustic/cottage look for Her, and it doesn’t go on TOO dark.
