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.

Wow, that's a lucky find! It's like finding gold under your floorboards, people pay thousands of pounds to have original looking parquet flooring in their home. Looking at your photos, the flooring looks like is is in good condition and has been well preserved. I say keep it as it is and give it a light sand and seal. There are companies around that can do this professionaly for you or you can hire a sander and do it yourself.

Hi Orla, Over the years, we have had many good experiences with The Amtico Company, as they offer a wide range of high-quality laminate flooring in many collections. In particular, the Click range is easy to fit as it uses a special system where the pieces literally 'click' together. You can browse their colours (it sounds like you want a warm mid-tone, as this will both somewhat hide dirt and isn't too dark) at the link. We've also fitted many Moduleo floors, and also had good experience with them. They also have a click-fit range! We've gone into a little detail about various laminate and vinyl brands on our site, if you'd like to browse some alternatives. Hope this helped, Kings

Hi Jamie, Yes i think that you are right, and would suggest you explore a 'scandi' style of timber floor with these colours, and perhaps look at a washed oak type of finish to stop it ending up looking too cold. Here is one as an example of colour from Kronospan. Good luck :)
