Learning how to match wood floors to your decor and room colors can be a little hard.
Since hardwood flooring comes in so many rich and vibrant hues, selecting the perfect one for your home can bring a room together.
Rather than searching for tips for matching wood floors, stick with us and learn how to color match the right way.
How to Pick a Hardwood Floor Color
When it comes to the colors of hardwood floors, you have a lot of options to choose from. Some of the most popular hardwood floor colors include:
- Mahogany
- Brown (light and dark variations)
- Black
- Gray
- Blonde
- White
Picking the color of your hardwood is a great way for you to express personal taste, but you have to take a good look at what the color of your decor is before you choose. You don’t want your exotic hardwood flooring clashing with your cabinet color, for example.
On top of that, here are a few things to consider when matching wood floors to your other home elements:
Blending Floors
If your new hardwood will be transitioning to existing flooring like carpet or vinyl, a transition that blends both flooring colors together is essential. You want the colors of the floor to blend when it transitions.
Take a look at the picture below. See how the light colored wood compliments and transitions to the white tile cleanly?
Match Tones Do you already have wood flooring installed in other rooms? Try to use similar tones for your new wood flooring to create a sense of unity. Sun fading may also cause the wood to change tones, so choosing a lighter toned hardwood will help if that happens.

Compliment your Cabinets
If you’re getting wood flooring in the kitchen, matching the floor to your cabinets will bring the whole room together. You’ll want to get a color that either complements or contrasts your cabinet color. You can get a color that matches, but it isn’t guaranteed to look good.
For example, a darker colored hardwood hickory or maple brings great color compliments to white or light gray cabinets. The picture below is a great example.
Hardwood is the cream of the crop flooring type, so making it stand out with your decor will do wonders for whatever room you install it in.
