Dark hardwood floors

What are the pros and cons of dark (walnut) hardwood floors?

    Dark floors can add a rich contrast to lighter walls and visually ground a space. At the same time, dust is more visible on dark floors so they have to be cleaned more often. Walnut is nice in that it doesn't have prominent golden or reddish undertones that are present in some other wood colors so it can pair well with a variety of neutrals, including cooler ones.

      Walnut is very soft
      And typically you don't stain it to show the variations

      Dark floors look beautiful. They show every speck of dust/dirt. If you like everything to look perfect be prepared to wipe/dust/mop them every day.

      Dark floors do show the dirt. I have them throughout the main floor of the house. I think I won't have them in the kitchen ever again, though I do clean way more often so maybe it's like eating vegetables. Good for you???

      It's not the stain that shows dirt it's the finish. Matte doesn't show it. I do that all the time.

      I have oak floors stained walnut, low gloss. Cleaning them once a week works fine for me and if anything I'm slightly fussy.

      Satin gloss level is very popular over Black Walnut. So it matte. Both gloss levels will help to hid marks or dust.

      I love the look of natural Black Walnut. To me, this would be a dark floor I could love. I like plenty of movement in my floors (which is why I like and sell cork). The natural movement in Black Walnut will help hide the things a stained hardwood would show. The changes in the floor help things work a bit better. The won't look AS dusty or as dirty as a dark stained floor which appears as one large sheet of "dark". The natural blond streaks that Black Walnut shows is something that will help things hide a bit more.
