Q: I’m torn between going dark or staying with a natural color on my parquet floors, 700 sq. ft. 1 bedroom apt. The apartment faces North and West so it gets good afternoon light, but I’m worried dark floors will make the rooms too dark?

A: I have had one decorator say that dark colours never go out of style. If you like a dark colour, go with it.
