The Old House Flooring Home Decorating

Renovating 90s home

last year

I purchased a 90s home and wanted to keep the existing hardwood floors in the living room, stairs, and upstairs (just restain to a lighter oak color). Now I am having trouble choosing flooring to match with these thin planked older hardwood style in the entryway and kitchen (originally tiled). Ideas for a more organic modern look?

Match the oak. No question. The best houses have one flooring type throughout. You are blessed to have a floor that is readily available and fairly inexpensive. Don’t overthink it. Bring a flooring pro in to match the species and quality and install it everywhere. With a water based finish it will be a little less orange.

A suggestion: paint the walls a warmer color:

Try the B M 980s strip.
