What color is best for parquet floors?
Parquet floors can be finished in any color. Many patterns, however, can be accentuated by using alternating light and dark parquet flooring colors. In a Versailles pattern wood floor, for example, the intricate arrangement of rectangles and squares in a puzzle-like fashion can be made even more visually appealing by using different colored woods or even different materials like tile or marble.
Why choose a light or dark floor color?
Dark hardwood floor colors have a dramatic appeal that can help to make a strong design statement in a room.

Light or gray color wood flooring provides a more spacious feeling and can help brighten rooms. Lighter floors also help to hide dirt, debris and dust more easily.
