BEST INTERIOR PAINT COLORS TO MATCH HARDWOOD FLOORS

Tips on matching your hardwood flooring stain with your wall paint colour.

A huge constellation of factors comes into play. But if your rooms have hardwood floors, two components will be especially critical: 1) the colors and undertones of the wood and 2) your own fashion. Study your flooring, and determine how neutral or bold you wish to be.

Neutral

Virtually every wood or engineered hardwood floor looks great with neutral coloured paint. White, cream, tan and taupe generally qualify as impartial (depending on the colour of your floor, of course). Accents like pillows, lamps, and rugs can add pops of color if the room starts to resemble a film set depicting a colorless, dystopian, robot-ruled future.

Neutral Plus

For those who want just a little color but who don't wish to go too bold, choose a color that's similar to the undertones of this wood. For hardwood floors with a golden, orange or red undertone, use warm colors such as butter yellow or terracotta. Gray or ash-colored wood do well when paired with cooler colors, such as green or blue.

Contrast

If you'd like a dramatic room, look back to the undertones of the hardwood flooring, and select the colors that are contrary to those on a colour wheel. Flooring with gold undertones will now be paired with lavender and reddish tones with lavender green. Grey and ash-colored floors would be paired with a soft peach.

Comparison Plus

Play up the dark and light contrast by pairing dark flooring with light walls and vice versa. For rooms with hardwood flooring, paint the walls a deep burgundy. When the floors are a dark mahogany, decorate the area with a peach or light gold paint.
