Hi all, we are replacing these black tiles with laminate wood flooring (or engineered wood) this weekend and not sure what colour/style to go for-thin or thick boards, light or dark...it’s a very light room with 5 bifold doors and 2 windows. I can put tablecloth on table (blue) if feel too ‘woody’ once floor down. Is anyone able to advise or use photoshop or something to show what it might look like?? I really struggle with vision on big projects and can only do it if I can see it!! Don’t want to make a big (and expensive!) mistake...any help appreciated!! Thanks, Edwina

Comments (2)If you don't want to make too much of a feature of them then pure white in a satin finish is probably the way to go. I however, love darker skirting boards so depending on what colour wood your floor is, you could do something a little different and pick a nice neutral that complements the colour of the floor....See MorePlease help me with colours and flooring
Comments (3)Hi, Taking into consideration all the elements in your room I would advise you to go with the lighter, golden-toned wood flooring option. Bear in mind wood is a light reflecting finish (as opposed to a carpet in an equivalent tone which is more light absorbing) so will create a more spacious feel to the room. Furthermore the lovely varied tones and graining in the samples you have allow for it to blend subtly with your table and chairs. In contrast a straight cut plank with more even tones would results in a clash of woods as you mentioned. The doors are indeed very yellow in tone; ideally if you could, I would advise changing the stain colour - if they are hardwood strip them back and apply a clear varnish or wax . If they are laminate or veneered they unfortunately can't be stripped back but you could paint them a neutral paint colour to break them from the other wood in the room and allow them to blend better with the wall paint colour. Regarding the wall paint colour, if you do go ahead with the blonder toned wood flooring you could take a small step away from warm yellow based neutrals to a cooler grey or green based neutral paint colour to introduce a subtle contrast on the wall surfaces. A subtle "hint" staying in the neutral range, not a definitive grey or green! I would advise avoiding any neutral with a pink or yellow based tint due to there being a lot of warm tones already in the room - in the floor, the dining table the chairs and the sofa fabric....See MoreNeed Living room colour advice
Comments (7)Your welcome..if it were me I would bring home a couple of samples and see how they work with your sofa etc..if you don't mind me saying seeing as it's a dark room maybe just be careful when putting white on the wall as I find that sometimes it can look a little mucky..good luck with it all....See Morewood flooring and doors
Comments (11)Your lights in the pic look very similar to my 3D kitchen picture and I'm getting a Leicht kitchen too , is your kitchen from an independent shop in Ealing :-) ? I am also having the same worktop! I was going to go with a dark wood on the island as well called 'Calypo' but I had already decided on my wood flooring ( very light oak - Scandinavian look ) and they didn't go together, so changed my colour to white. Best thing to do is to take your wood floor sample into the kitchen showroom. See if the shop selling the floors can lend you a big piece of the floor ( rather than a very small sample ) and then you put them against each other and get the opinion of your kitchen designer too....See More

If the room is very light then you can afford to go a bit darker on the flooring, we do have a couple of options when it comes to laminates that might be of interest to yourself.
The first option could be ourQuietwalk London board, this comes with an underlay pre-attached to the back of the board.
Another option could be our Balento Olympic Calgary, This board comes in at an overall thickness of 15mm with an underlay attached also.
Here are also another couple of options -https://www.floormonster.co.uk/laminate.html?color=291
We would be more than happy to send your FREE samples of any board you may like.
Kind Regards,
Jack
