Well, they all look the same to me, so I'd say #1 is your best option.

OK, the pictures just came in. I'm for #3. I like the richer colors.

Please vote for 1, 2, or 3, and state any reasons you may have. Thank you!

Weiner, in order to make a decision I would take into consideration the style, coloring and shades of the furniture you have--unless you are planning on replacing that as well :)

Either one or three, depending on your wall color and if your furniture tends to be dark or light in color.
NOT #2.

Number 3 for me too,the tones are very nice and warm.The other two look a little washed out to me.

Weinermr, I like #2....because too dark, like # 3 SHOWS EVERYTHING!!! Too light like #1 shows everything too! I speak from experience, we've had both, now we have something similar to #2 and I love it!!! It blends with any kind of wood better, (whatever your furniture might be) and with colors in the room also. JMHO. God knows I'm not a Interior Designer, I just like what I like!

I like #2 too. It has light and dark colors, and just about anything will look good with it. I like the varying shades, it adds greater visual interest.

Have fun!

I like #1 the best. Your floor will fade in places due to sunlight exposure and I'm afraid the daker wood will show this more.

The pictures shown approximately represent the rooms in which the floors will go. The same flooring will go in a small dining area, and an adjoining family room. The furniture in the dining room is dark cherry, and the family room contains much lighter, more contemporary and casual furniture. The walls in both rooms are off white.

I appreciate all opinions, because the choice is proving to be impossible!

Can I have one that you don't pick? :)

I like #1 the best (light oak in a homogenous color instead of mix-matched like in #2 or darker stain like in #3), but it all depends on what YOUR tastes are!

Let me know when you'll be sending your rejects to me!

i prefer #2 as i like the contrasting tones of the wood. and since you have 2 rooms, 1 with dark colors and the other with lite, then i definately say go with #2 as it would blend with either tones of furniture.

and on a personal note i don't care for dark woods in #3. and #2 just speaks to me. jmo fwiw.

#3. Looks richer and real-er. :)

I like #2. I like the combination of light and dark.

The votes so far are pretty even, which is exactly the problem we are having in making a choice!

I like #3 -seems warmer and more inviting to me.

I like #1 best. Its very similar to what i have in my living room and its very easy to keep clean. It doesn't show dust much because dust is light colored.

I think our flooring is most similar to #3 with the deep golden colors. (Hmmmm, that could be why it' called Honey Wheat.) We are very pleased with it and have had no problems whatsoever with scuffs, scars or dust showing. It blends well in every room and with a variety of woods, both painted and stained. We also like the way it reflects the lights in the rooms and the fire in the fireplace. It is a very rich, warm look.

Number one for me, for the same reasons Max said. The other two choices have to many color contrasts for me and makes it look busy. I would be constantly noticing it, and it would annoy me.

By the way, is this real wood, or a laminate or whatever type of wood products they are making now?

Also, what color will your walls be? And what color is your furniture? Is it wood furniture, if so, what type?

Also, how much sun does the room get? If it gets a lot, you may want a darker color to absorb it, but if it doesn't get much, you may want a lighter color to brighten up the room.
