All too gray. Get clearer wood looking colors.

Agree with Sophie--all are too gray. You need a hint of reddish gold to pick up the warm tones of the sofa unless you're planning to replace it.

Thank you Sophie and housegal200, I appreciate your insight; we are not planning on replacing the sofa. Of course, photos don't capture the true color as in real life, but I agree there are some that are too gray; namely #2.

I had a fourth sample I ruled out, because I thought it had a touch too much gold.

What do you think?

I included #1 sample (right), so you can see the comparison. Note that it is close to our current carpet shade.

Thanks, Sophie! I do like the look of maple or even hickory. I will take your advice and checkout some more samples, based on your expertise.

On a side note —

I really like the Scandinavian look with the natural floors. I think it is more modern than the gray gray gray that has seen it's day!

Also guys, I didn't pick out the furniture, my husband did (he is very proud). They are quite comfortable, but if I had the choice I wouldn't have picked that colour!
