Light Blue Walls Dark Hardwood Floors. The best way to compliment your dark floors is with light colored walls. Dark hardwood floors and lighter walls offer a beautiful contrast. I'm not saying your walls need to be white, but you don't want them to be as dark as your floors (unless it's an acce n t wall).
If you wish to lighten the mood of the room, choose gray wall paint that matches your flooring but is several shades lighter. This brings a lightness to a room with dark floors and provides a striking contrast. Not only that, but the lighter color will cause more light to bounce around your room making it naturally brighter, and feel larger.

Light hardwood floors, including ash, bamboo, birch, and white oak, can really brighten up a room, giving it a larger, airier feel. Over time, you'll find that your dark flooring results in less sun damage, retaining its dark sheen for longer. Dark can sometimes be too dark and make the space feel enclosed. The hardwood floors match the natural wood on the ceiling and window panes to create a wholesome country style.
