What wood tone to go with calacatta marble floor?

8 years ago

What wood would you use for bathroom cabinetry to go with 2" hex calacatta gold marble floor? I'm trying to avoid anything too red, too orange, too yellow, too dark, too grainy, too bossy...lol...I have the perfect vision in my mind but having a bit of a hard time conveying this to the cabinet maker. I have walnut, alder, birch, and cherry samples, some with brown (Daly's 341) stain but it seems a bit too dark, except on the birch in which case it just looks blah. Any ideas? I'm going for a warm wood and white traditional look. Not contemporary or too rustic.

I like medium brown walnut, that's always a good choice. If you want to avoid wood stains you could opt for a whitewashed or greyed stain on alder. Good luck to you, I hope you enjoy your new bathroom. Happy New Year!

Have you tried searching photos here? If you find a few that you like, you might be able to find out what wood they have in common, if any.

@acm...Yes! I have spent countless hours looking at photos here. Thank you for including so many great ones with your reply. The third photo down is one that I love and have shared with the cabinet maker. Wish I knew exactly what wood and stain was used on that cabinet. Hopefully our guy can figure it out.
