What brightness combinations to stain floors, trim, and doors?

3 years ago

I'm building a new house and will have pine floors, trim, and doors. I'd prefer to do a cool or neutral toned stain for all, but not sure what different levels of brightness to do each one. Any thoughts on what makes sense? (e.g. floors=dark, trim=medium, doors=light OR floors=medium, trim=dark, doors=medium, OR ....)


Fwiw, the floors will be wide plank (10-12") and overall, it's like a mountain cottage style home. Walls will be cottage white, and half of them will be tongue & groove pine (also painted cottage white).
