Dark floor, light doors: does that clash?

I like the hint from . We are planning many wooden furniture/decor in the ground floor and therefore also gray tiles. Upstairs hardly any, so there will be a wooden floor there. Otherwise, it can really clash...

My in-laws have a dark wooden floor, which is really difficult in combination with wooden furniture and color. They would prefer something more neutral by now. If you want to combine different types of wood, you have to pay close attention to the undertones so that they don’t clash. So only combine reddish, yellowish, grayish, etc. types of wood with each other. And get cards with color combinations for this so that you can think about walls and decor in advance.

I think you should either use similar tones from floor to furniture and door, or appropriate contrasts like white doors and dark floors (we have that and we find it very stylish, especially since it is timeless and classic, you don’t get tired of it). I wouldn’t choose such different wood tones, it just clashes completely.

I can confirm that as well. @TE, personally I don’t like the combination shown either and we faced exactly the same decision. I wanted beautiful wooden doors, but they constantly clashed in grain or color with the chosen floor. Then we already had furniture in mind, which color-wise matched the doors, but the top panels (e.g. sideboard, coffee table, and TV unit) were also made of wood. So another wood tone came into play and the combination didn’t work at all anymore. In the end, we decided on our classic. White doors, gray vinyl flooring, and the furniture’s wooden parts have slightly gray undertones. For us, it was also important that you can’t just swap out doors on a whim if you made a mistake, with furniture it’s just easier to fix :)

Basically, in my opinion, one should choose everything that is permanently installed as simple and timeless as possible. Because, as already mentioned, doors cannot be replaced as easily as furniture, curtains, decorations, and even flooring (unless it is not permanently glued). We have white wooden doors in the old building style (we have an old building) and I wouldn't know when they should go out of fashion.

Well, door leaves are relatively easy to replace. But yes, the average person does that less often than a dresser or a side table. With a wall unit, however, I would have my doubts whether it gets replaced more often than one moves...
