Please share all colour choosing wisdom!
Hey all!
My fiancé and I are planning to install Coretec LVP in the 1200 range and we’re stuck on colour choices between Leaf and Lumber. We’ll be installing ourselves throughout our entire house including 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and dining room, approx 120m2 total.
We don’t get a lot of natural light inside and have read it’s a good idea to err on the lighter side to keep it brighter in a low light situation, however, we don’t want a grey toned floor so we really only have Leaf and Lumber to choose from, with Leaf being the lighter of the 2.
We really like both colours but struggling to decide one way or the other. We can’t access samples to keep at home for a day or two as the shop only brings them out in person.
One of the possible deciding factors is the leaf boards have grooves in between them whereas lumber sits flat, I’ve read that can be a pita to keep clean but then others have said it’s fine so we’re not sure how heavily to factor that in.
I’m adding some photos I took with the samples in different areas, some are in natural light (lower than normal as it was late afternoon and raining), some are in a warmer light from our lamps or lights being on and some are with minimal added light.
If anyone has used leaf or lumber in their home, or has any advice or insight into which looks better or if the grooves are indeed annoying to keep clean, we’d love any advice we can get so we can make a decision and order them in.
Thanks so much!
TL:DR which of these colours would work better in low natural light, throughout the entire house?
