It depends on your home’s style, lighting, and foot traffic:
-
Dark stains create a warm, elegant, and cozy atmosphere, making them ideal for formal spaces or homes with minimal foot traffic. However, they can show dust, scratches, and wear more easily.
-
Light stains are better for brightening rooms, hiding everyday wear, and making small spaces appear larger. They're especially well-suited for high-traffic areas and family homes.
Ultimately, choose a stain that complements your lifestyle and enhances the look and feel of your space.
