I don’t think you’ll get the floor to lighten up to match the newer parquet. Convince hubby to go for a darker stain ;-) I’d personally stain and finish with an oil as it’s easier to reapply than a varnish. Osmo oil are pretty good. They do hardwearing oil/wax floor finishes in a range of colours and finishes.

I've dealt with similar issues. It's a tricky one! You can dye the concrete too, and get it matched with the wood dye. Your professional should be able to advise. I would advise putting a skim of new concrete, dyed to match the wood, over the top, or sealing the old concrete so that the dye doesn't soak in and come up patchy. Other options, which I'm sure you've thought about, include paint instead of dye (but there are implications for the treatment of the floorboards) or have the concrete dug out and replaced by floorboards (expensive and dusty). Good luck!

Hi Jen, choosing a new floorcovering can be one of the biggest decisions a homeowner makes. Floors set the tone of the room so it’s important to get the look and feel just right. As champions of carpet, here’s our top five reasons why you should have it in the home: 1. It’s Warm - Coming in to a warm and welcoming house is the pinnacle of luxury. More people are now turning their back on the cool, sleek look of laminate flooring, for the natural warmth of carpet. 2. It’s Easy To Clean - While you do need to whip the vacuum cleaner over your carpet, there is little other maintenance compared to the upkeep of hard wood floors or laminates. For example, with our easy clean ranges (Sensation, Apollo and Primo collections), cleaning becomes less of a chore - plus you have the added reassurance of a 10 year stain and wear warranty. The key to good carpet maintenance is to vacuum once or twice a week. 3. It’s Quieter – Forget footsteps clacking against wooden floors, a large surround sound system vibrating or noisy children playing upstairs, one of the major benefits of having carpet in the home is that it absorbs sound. Not only does carpet absorb up to 10 times more sound than hard flooring but it generates less too. 4. It’s Good For Allergies – Over the decades studies have shown that carpet reduces the number of allergens in the air as compared to hard flooring. Carpet prevents allergens from becoming airborne by trapping them in the fibres of the carpet, helping to keep them out of the air and out of your lungs. Vacuuming the carpet then removes the trapped allergens completely. 5. There’s More Choice – Carpet is super versatile. Fancy a more rustic look, opt for a textured loop pile. Want a deep snuggly pile, seek the super soft lustrous carpets out. And when it comes to colour, you can choose to play it safe with neutrals and cool greys or be bold with dark statement inky blues or even stripes! Any style you want to achieve can be done with carpet. We hope that helps your decision! For more flooring advice, visit www.cormarcarpets.co.uk
