Home Decorating Flooring Living Room

What floor color to go with reddish orange ceiling beams

last modified: 4 years ago

I finally got the go ahead to tear up our 40 year old carpet and get wood flooring! Our living room has wood beams that are very reddish orange in color. I have no clue what color of floor would look best in there. My husband doesn't want the beams painted.

Floor/beams: same stain

There are some other things you could do to make your room more cohesive.

Agreed. Match the beams.
What are the surrounding floors?

The floors are all the same nasty brown carpet except for the kitchen which has a beige tile floor

Lol match the beams. So a deep brown wood. Would be my first choice
You can also go very light. But might be harder to match...

I would recommend a light maple floor like this one, Millennium Unik Maple wood floor.
