Wood look luxury vinyl plank!

Personally, I don't care for anything gray-ish.

Ms. Fifamom, I'm a bit jealous of your nice clean concrete slab. I've still gotta get the residue off of our slab where we had glued down sheet laminate.

Yup, we're in the same boat, gonna go with LVP for our entire ground floor, as well ~1800 sq. feet and now realize I haven't a clue which floor color is going to work. (Although I'm also tempted to put it in our upstairs bonus room and the stairs if it wouldn't be too noisy.)

I plan on giving havenly a try to help nail down a floor color as part of a color scheme (?) that compliments our kitchen cabinets.

@lupins4 - no vinyl - we want porcelain tile - white / grey / beige / cream; @littlebug zone 5 Missouri - we like grey beige colors - tired of dark colors for flooring; @ Hans Hinners - thank you - our floor is a micro topped with an acrylic overlay - needs to be completely grinded off to the raw cement for tile.. we are having a test spot done on Wednesday afternoon to see how it comes up.. the overlay has been down for 11 years and we are tired of the butterscotch color.. the grinding is going to be a total pain.. we actually want a 'greige' floor.. just not sure yet what type or size of tile.. I honestly found an amazing marble tile that we love but it is not practical..

That’s a lot of tile! Are you in a warm climate?

I know this is overwhelming. To cut down on the chaos, you might want to go ahead and get the walls primed "white" so that you can make decisions in a neutral lighting situation. Right now you are getting issues with the green and the beige walls (as well as the orange concrete). All of these are throwing colour into the space. Try to get the walls/floors as "white" or "colourless" as possible; even if it is just primer white.

You will then be able to see what things LOOK LIKE without the influence of sage or yellow or orange being thrown into the mix. And don't forget to change the lighting FIRST (assuming you are doing a lighting update of course) before choosing any colour - for any finish.

Start at the beginning: prime the walls. Change out the lighting (at least use the bulb "colour" you want). Cover up the flooring (white sheets if you must). Then start picking your colours. These few basics will ensure you are seeing everything PROPERLY....without the influence of outdated (ie. will be covered up eventually) colours that will not be used in the future.

@lupins4 - Henderson NV - warm climate yes; @ SJ McCarthy - thanks for the input - not possible to paint walls a primer - we have major reno going on at this time.. I may be able to paint on portion of a wall... the only lighting changes will be in the kitchen - taking out track lights and adding can lights.. I might try the white sheet on the floor and then lay down some sample tiles.. I think my 'orange' floors really throw us off.. they are butterscotch by the way.. is that orange?

@Hans Hinners - that is Sunset Park - I live in Green Valley near the GVR... we have mild climate here.. right now most of my furniture and boxes are outside under covered patio and the washer and dryer are hooked up outside kitchen window while we renovate... we are in demo stage, then rough plumbing to repipe 1st floor, framing, electrical, more plumbing, paint, floors, etc.. etc.. I am giving us 6 months to do this and we are living on the 2nd floor... what stage are you in for your renovation? did you blow the budget like me? LOL

I really would avoid tile unless in FL... cold hard and a pain to remove down the road when you want another change. What region are you in?

Ah just saw that you’re in NV. Is this your forever home? Are you comfortable with the idea of these floors being long term?

I'm in the early stages of planning and realize my interior design expertise is lacking. Might try havenly to avoid making any major design blunders.

We got on this journey because of a potential move but the job fell through. We figured we would fix up the place anyways.

Blown Budget?!? The first flooring quote came in at $16k for endura amber oak lvp and a bit of carpet installed to cover 2025 square feet. Ouch. Can you say on-line vendors and DIY.

@bri bosh - we do not plan on moving from this house... forever home not sure but if we do move out we would leave to kids or rent it out.. hopefully these will be the last floors we do.. when we did the concrete overlay floors we specifically discussed with the contractor about laying new floor over it and he said 'sure no problem' - they went out of business and no less than 5 other flooring companies said we need to grind / remove the overlay... we did a wet grind yesterday on about 12 x 15 of the overlay - it came off - there is mud splattered on my walls... and now we are going to try a dry grind.. @hans hinners - we have been quoted about $12K for porcelain tile floors parts and labor / $10K for floating engineered hardwood / $12K to redo the overlay plus I have to pay about $3K for the grinding..
