Are these floors too dark?? PLEASE help!

9 years ago

This is my first post but I finally need HELP! I am trying to find a hardwood flooring for my new house that I will be running throughout. I would like something between 5-7" in width in a matte finish that has wire brushing. Cost is also a concern (I was able to find some flooring that I LOVED but it was far too much $$$).

I found this floor and I really like it (the pictures show the same floor, just different angles). The price is also the best price point I have found so far while still keeping a quality product. My only concern is... is the floor too dark? I personally love the look of dark floors. I know they can be harder to clean but will this one be? It has the matte finish and wire brushing and is not quite an espresso.

Do you think it will show a lot of dirt/dust or is it not quite that dark? I don't want to be spending all my time cleaning.

The cabinets and trim will be a white and the paint colors/furniture will be light.

Looking forward to hearing your advice!
