ExploreOne way to achieve medium dark hardwood floors is to start with a hardwood species that has a naturally dark feel. Walnut floors, for example, have rich chocolate hues with auburn undertones in the heartwood and lighter colors in the sapwood. Cherry floors have lustrous hues that turn a deep, glowing red when polished and grow even darker as the floor ages. And Birch offers intriguing combinations of color tones with rich reddish-brown in the heartwood and blonde outer edges with warm amber portions.
Alternately, you can choose a wood species based on the grain patterns you prefer and stain the wood to any color. Here, your options get a little wider.
