Different flooring on 1st and 2nd floors.

10 years ago

How do people feel about having different colors of flooring on different floors. I want a very light floor on the main floor, but my husbands office is on the second floor and the furniture is far from modern. He wants to do a dark wood on the second floor and I wanted to ask for opinions. Thanks!!

It is perfectly fine to do whatever you like. I can see no reason why it would matter if they match or not.

Different floors/colours on different levels is completely acceptable. The N. American taste is very accepting of this. Keeping the flooring consistant THROUGHOUT THE LEVEL is the main point (exceptions: kitchens and baths). It certainly makes coordinating a space easier than mix-and-match/patch work flooring.
