Son's got Awesome taste in DogFellas!
Sometimes the dark stuff can turn a nice space into an Irish pub. I always go there when I see that. Especially if the darker floor has a rustic look to it. I'd do an entire home as Pub style. But then I'd need the Guinness kegs and wife would get surly and sore at me. Thank God I can win at surly.
I like a wood look dark floor. Most o the time. Looks great with a sage green theme wall..
20 years ago I put in a fairly dark oak laminate but it was brown. The stuff he picked is a distressed look but is mostly black. It is much darker than I would have chosen. I think a brown would have been warmer. I had oak cabinets in the kitchen before with a New Orleans style ceramic tile. He had the cabinets painted white and went with the vinyl planking throughout the downstairs- except the master bedroom. That has carpet that matches the stairs and the second floor.
He redid the fireplace too. It was oak. Now that whole wall is a charcoal brick with a rough cedar mantle.
Grey walls and white trim.
