Laminate flooring with wood trim?
Hello all!
I hope I can get some designer advice as I seem to lack it. We moved into a 2 storey house two years ago. One thing I intended to change asap was the green rug (1998 era) that is in the house to a laminate flooring. Since all of our window and baseboard trim and staricase is wood, what color should I go for flooring? Darker, lighter? I know some might say I will have to change my baseboards as Im changing my flooring but I want to try and reuse the baseboards and think it will cost just that much more for trim as this trim is throughout the entire house. This house is also an open concept.
I will attach the picture so that you may have an idea of what color I am working with.
Ideas? Advice? Help!!

My viewpoint with my clients is to keep them out of the extremes of color when it comes to flooring, as flooring is one of the more expensive items to change. When you chose a mid-range finish, it will endure better the trends toward very dark or very light. I hear designers suggest black granite counter tops, and I am old enough to remember people tearing them out because they felt they were too dark. And, that will happen again. So head more to the middle for finishes that have to endure, that is crux the of my thinking.
Best of luck.
