How to work with trendy grey wood floors?

But, what if you have the weathered-grey wood-look floors that are in many homes (and quickly becoming dated)?

Again, if it’s not in the budget to replace your grey wood floors, start layering in the more current warm tones into your decorating. Add colours like cognac, gold, chocolate, plum, green, or rust. These colours look fresh with lots of cream or white and grey.

How to work with vintage, warm wood floors?

Don’t forget that a floor is just a foundation. You can make liberal use of pretty area rugs, furnishings and decor to satisfy the eye (and distract from less-than-perfect floors). So, don’t panic if it’s not in the budget to replace your wood floors yet.
Remember, decorating is not about everything being as “new” as possible. It’s about interest, mood, colour, texture and pattern – creating a look and a feel.

Keep in mind that the way to balance overly warm (yellow, orange or red) wood floors is to introduce lots of cool, fresh, and airy colours in your decorating.

What is the most timeless wood floor (or wood-look option)?

I often say that pale natural (oak or maple) or medium neutral brown (like oak or hickory) are the most timeless colour options for wood or wood-look floors. They are natural, versatile, and generally won’t scream which decade they were installed in or limit your decorating options.

Few things you need to know before you decide to replace your flooring.

Don’t put farmhouse rustic wood floors in modernist interiors
If you have a house with modernist architecture, for example, wide-plank natural or rustic farmhouse wood floors are going to look forced and out of place.

Unfortunately, there are few wood-look flooring options on the market that look like vintage, narrow plank mid-century floors. This is another instance where it’s best to consider working with what flooring you have if possible.
Of course, if you have no option but to update the wood floors, take care to choose something that is warm enough in tone to fit the style. And, again, choose the smoothest, least busy, and least rustic option you can find, as they’ve done in this Mid Century kitchen below.
