Oh, poor Weiners! The choices you have to make and then live with them for a very long time, so don't rush into anything. Take your time.
Don't envy you having to make that decision, and am not sure if asking other 'cooks' into the kitchen is the best idea, might only confuse things more.LOL

However, since you asked - for myself I like the richness of #3, but only in rooms with lots of sunlight. Because of the shading it would probably mix well with both dark and light wood furniture.
If sunlight is a problem I'd probably choose #1.
To my eye #2 just doesn't seem to mesh with the dark diningroom set.

I've always been partial to the darker tones, and would probably pick #3 for myself.

However, everyone brings up a good point, that the multi-shading of #2 will go with more things, and not show wear and dirt as much.

We were going to go with a multi-shaded carpet, but my silly Mom chose a sandy colored tan (single shade) instead. The sales rep said the multi-shaded one would work best with high traffic, and dog hair. Leave it to Mom to pick a light-colored single shaded carpet with black dogs! Oh well, means I need to dig out the vacuum more often!

Thanks for all the thoughts and information. This is engineered wood flooring.

I think you should name your floor Juju.

Juju is an excellent name for a floor.

I like #3 for a more formal room to go with the cherry dining room furniture. Less formal #1. Casual #2.

Juju, then he'd have 3 floors named Juju1, Juju2 and Juju3. Can he handle that?

btw--#3 also works in a more casual room if it's all one continuous floor. Thank goodness. :)

I think it would have to be LivingJuju, DiningJuju, etc.

I pick 3. 1 is too orange. 2 might work if you have the cherry wood and some lighter wood furniture, but 3 is more traditional and will go with anything.

For what you have described, I pick 3,if it was for me, I would pick 2.

Number 1. The others have too many shades in them.

Fellow weiner, #1 is my choice for ya! The dark wood of the dining room will make a nice contrast to the light floor, then when people move into the family room the floor will blend with the lighter furniture and be a little more relaxing, as a family room should!

Hope we're helpin here!

Weiner, I don't think you've included all relevant options. If you're concerned about durability, appearance, and longevity, you're doing yourself and Weinermrs a disservice if you don't at least consider

Of course, Jujufloor is nice too.

Found a pic on the internet of some Juju-flooring installed in a kitchen:

BR, is that Juju floor self cleaning?

I have nothing against NAMING a floor Juju, but I have to have PICKED one in order to name it.

Yay, Juju-floor! BR, you just floor me! How do you DO that???

Thanks, Juju.
It's all just sleight-of-mouse. Watch carefully...my fingers never leave the clicker...

Weiner buddy, read all the responses and your choice is easy. Since the vote is about evenly split. Pick any of the three, 1/3 of the people will like it and two thirds will go yuck. I suggest a rousing game of duck duck goose (it's so fun on a new floor.)

#3 ...because it is more traditional. Other two appear very contemporary(also a harder sell for when & if you sell the home). Any type of furniture will look good on the richer #3 floor.

Good luck!

Hi, WM. Your question brought me out of the woodwork. :) Home decor is all about whatever gives you a warm and cozy feeling when you walk through your door. Guess none of these floors are screaming warm and cozy at you, huh? Number 3 is screaming at me. It's the richest, warmest of the colors. The other two colors strike me as being on the cold, univiting side and they may look stark against the warmth of cherry wood. Number 3 is a medium tone, on the warmer, dark side but not so dark that it wouldn't bring out the beauty of any furniture finish. Casting my vote for the more warm, rich and sumptuously expensive look of #3.

Zed, #1 is not at all contemporary. I have the light wood floor with parquet around the sides and its 120 years old. Also doesn't fade from sunlight. I'd say its held up very well for its age.

Want some more help? Not! I woke up this morning and now #1 looks better to me- I was looking in lamplight last night and in daylight I changed my mind and 3 looks too dark now! So I totally sympathize with your dilemna.

I like #2 - #3 looks... ahhhhh like it needs to be mopped to me. Just Kidding - LOL


Good luck choosing - - actually all 3 are pretty.

#3 is my choice. It goes much better with the dark furniture in the formal dining room and compliments the softer shades in the family room. Having 'magnolia' shades on the walls enhances the dark richness of the floor and brings both rooms together in 'harmony'.

The second one is the best!
