Choosing a suitable stain colour for your newly sanded floors should not be a daunting task.

Do not worry - Niagara Floor Refinishing is here to help - we will help you make the right choice.

When you book with us, we will visit and demo a few colour samples on your floor to help with choosing the right stain for your own home, on your own wood floor species and in your own light conditions.

When choosing a floor stain colour that is going to be a permanent feature of your home, you should consider things such as:

Style: neutral tones like light browns or honey can feel classic and timeless, while darker stains like espresso or walnut can feel more modern.

Room size: darker floors can make a large room feel more intimate, while lighter floors can make a small room feel larger.

Lighting: lighter floors reflect more light and can make a room feel larger, while darker floors absorb more light and can make a room feel more intimate.

Cleanliness: lighter floors can hide dust and food crumbs better than dark floors, so you might need to sweep dark floors more often.

Furniture: you could contrast white kitchen cabinets with espresso-toned floors or pair cream-colored furniture with soft gray wood stain.

Depth: lighter colours can create more colour variation and depth in the wood grain when bright light is reflected.
