This hardwood currently extends into my kitchen. The area at the bottom of the stairs has gotten absolutely destroyed by a new dog, etc. Floor refinisher actually suggested tiling the foyer. Do I go light so that the runners stand out or dark? I am thinking something super simple so as not to compete with the pattern on the runners. Also, I am afraid that a light color will look too “bathroom”. This is a two story foyer with a 10 foot window over the front door- plenty of light. Thanks for any advice
