Need Advice: Floor Stain Color with Wood Vaulted Ceiling

6 days ago
last modified: 6 days ago

Hi everyone! I just bought a new home and could use some advice. The house features a half-vaulted ceiling with wood paneling as a design element, and the tone of that wood is going to influence the stain I choose when I refinish the hardwood floors — which brings me to my current design dilemma.

I'm torn between going light or dark with the floor stain. Personally, I'd prefer the ceiling wood to have more of a brown undertone rather than the reddish tone it currently has, and I'm not a big fan of the existing golden oak finish on the floors.



What floor stain shades would pair well with the wood-paneled ceiling without making the space feel too dark or too dated? I'd love your suggestions — especially if you've tackled a similar challenge!

Thanks in advance! 😊
