Hi Carly,

I suggest to go for a lighter coloured wood to your walnut. It is worth getting a few flooring samples and seeing them against your furniture. It also depends on what style you decide to go for as well. Herringbone or straight boards? Herringbones are all the rage at the moment and looking to stay and it adds a lot of character.

I highly recommend Havwoods flooring (tell them I sent you you might get a discount!): https://www.havwoods.com/uk/selection/free-samples/?p=30&s=1

I think ascot would work well with walnut furniture: https://www.havwoods.com/uk/products/hw2002/

Matt finish walnut will show pretty much everything...the yellow 'doodle hair will show everytime it lands. The good news is everything is so dark you will only see half of the dog hair. A ligher floor in a dark home will have the same effect as a dark floor in a well lit home. You might want to look at a floor that is stained (like white or European Oak) with a mid-tone brown (2 steps lighter than walnut) and you will have your crisp definition between wood and wall AND you will have a floor that is more forgiving with 'doodle curls. And be aware that many people find a matt finishe VERY hard to live with. It shows every hand print, paw print, nose print, "skin" print you can imagine. Skin oils are SHINIER than a matt finish = shows up every time a finger, toe, foot, dog pad hits the floor. Everytime. A satin is easier to live with.

Hi there - did you manage to choose? I think you may have accidentally posted a picture of the house with only one of the potential colour mock-ups you mention, but if you're still deliberating over which colour to go for would love to see the others!

Hi all, I'm looking for some inspiration and help with a wall colour for a kitchen and sunroom. Basically I have Farrow and Ball Pavillion Grey kitchen units and need some advice on a colour that would work well on the walls. I have tried a sample of Colour Trend Oyster bed but its too similar to the pavillion grey. Any tips or suggestions would be really appreciated...really stuck on this one! Thanks a mill
