How to Choose the Perfect Floor Color for Your Space
At Choice Flooring, we know that picking the right floor isn’t just about durability—it’s about finding a color that makes your space feel like home. The right shade can open up a room, tie your design together, and even make your home feel warmer or more modern. With our wide selection of Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood, we make it easy (and affordable) to find your perfect match.
Here are some expert tips—plus a peek at a few of our most popular floors—to help guide your decision.
1. Let Your Natural Light Be the Guide
-
Bright, sunlit spaces: Light shades can keep things airy and fresh. A customer favorite here is our Sand Dune Oak (SPC, 7" x 48", 5.5mm thick, 20mil wear layer). Its light tan-brown base with subtle grayish undertones reflects natural light beautifully, making smaller rooms feel bigger and brighter.
-
Low-light rooms: Medium to dark tones can cozy up a dim space. Floors with natural variation, like our West Coast (WPC, 9" x 60", 8mm thick, 20mil wear layer), bring warmth and character with its light brown tones, darker variations, and natural knotting.
2. Match Your Floor to Your Lifestyle
-
Busy families & pets: Mid-tones like Sand Dune Oak are forgiving on daily wear, blending in dust and footprints.
-
Stylish, timeless homes: The beveled edges and natural wood look of West Coast create a sophisticated, classic foundation that works with everything from farmhouse décor to modern minimalism.
3. Design Around Your Style
-
Farmhouse feel: Light, rustic tones like West Coast fit perfectly with shiplap walls and cozy textures.
-
Modern coastal: Try Sand Dune Oak for that sun-bleached, breezy vibe that pairs beautifully with whites and neutrals.
-
Bold, urban chic: Deeper browns or charcoals (also available in our showroom) add drama and elegance to industrial spaces.
4. Think About Scale
-
Small spaces: Lighter colors, like Sand Dune Oak, can make rooms feel more open.
-
Large, open areas: Wider planks, such as the 9” width of West Coast, give a balanced, seamless look that makes big rooms feel connected and inviting.
5. See It Before You Decide
It’s one thing to look at a tiny sample and another to picture an entire room. At Choice Flooring, we make it easy with large floor displays in our showroom. You’ll see how full planks—like West Coast with its realistic knotting or Sand Dune Oak with its light-gray undertones—look in a real space, so you don’t have to guess.
✨ Pro Tip from Choice Flooring: Always test samples in your own home before deciding. Flooring colors shift depending on lighting, paint colors, and even the time of day.
