Lauren Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Installing my new flooring in new studio next week. Both are laminate for cost and durability. Which one do you like better. The golden acacia boards or the reclaimed look that's lighter? They are up against a espresso board that I'm doing a wood wall which will have coffee bar and flat screen. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee254/ca18det007/Mobile%20Uploads/E96B2709-F241-4961-AAE5-147DFBD7EE96_zpsfj0g3ncx.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbs3000 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 how good is the lighting in there? I personally prefer the golden acacia but if you are doing a wood accent wall and there isn't a tooon of light in that room I'd go with the lighter one.

cstmg8 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah, what is the rest of the room like? I think either is fine, but each gives a very different feel to the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdhill Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Suggest you go very light or very dark....bamboo is a nice option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Bamboo is awful for a dance floor. It's to hard and most will buckle. The room has fluorescent lights , recessed lights and chandiliers. Lighting won't be an issue. The wall will be a light brown grey. More taupe. All white trim. Accent wall is kinda tucked into the front corner. I should also mention it has 30ft long by 6 ft high mirrors down one side of the room. On opposite wall it will have giant floor mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I want people to walk in and feel that it's warm but also expensive and they have to spend some money. I'm not exactly cheap lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 The darker, for sure. If you want to up the baller value (and you might, since you're trying to deliver a particular message), you might want to think about wider planks (if that's an option).

Wide planks aren't an option. We have looked everywhere. We did have wide planks in the old place and honestly this smaller acacia planks are amazing. I get what you are saying though.
