Hi, I have a montez leather sofa http://kasala.com/products/montez-leather-sofa It is the charcoal color - but sort of looks like a really rich dark grayish brown. And I have a matson coffee table found here: http://www.plummers.com/living/accenttables/matson-i-coffee-table/3626 These two look really nice on carpet floors, which is when I had purchased these. Now, I have a new place, and planning to put hardwood floors, and really confused about what would look good even with an area rug added. The coffee table has really rich wood like grains, and I'm not able to wrap my head around what would be a nice color. I tend to really like dark walnut shades with mild distress, and enough grain variations that damages are not visible. This particular one looks really elegant in person. http://www.ernesthemingwayfloors.com/trail-creek-buckskin-floor.php It doesn't look very rustic, and the distress on the hardwood is visual, and the floor itself is very smooth (very mild distress). Any suggestions on the floor color selection would be really helpful!! Thanks, Srikar

You list is all "stone" products. Stone products are natural. The durability is guaranteed with stone. Stain resistant...remove marble and granite from your list. Both can stain and etch and both will do this with "flooring" more than they will with a counter top. Gloss levels all change...but it will take years to do it. All stones have maintenance = homeowner needs to work at keeping stone looking good. Stone = expensive. There is no "benefit" for "reasonable" when working with stone. They all cost plenty of money. Stone is expensive. No way around it. If you want "glossy" that doesn't stain for a "good price" then you have forgotten to mention the BEST option: porcelain tiles. Porcelain will do everything you want for a lower price. Stone is expensive, it can stain (especially "oil" stains) it will "etch" or lose gloss level with certain liquids (acid based liquids will do this) and they all need to be maintained and eventually need repolishing to maintain "gloss". Durable is all you can expect out of stone. The rest of your wish list belongs with porcelain tiles.

Hello , Jaisalmer stone is commonly found in yellow color, and less frequently with creamish and pinkish tinge. It's quite durable and adds a modern uncommon touch to the place. Prices vary upon a number of variables.. somewhere in the range of 100-450 per sqft.. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

Hi Chetna, The following are certain options which you may use instead of actual wooden flooring - 1] Laminated wooden planks This is the most commonly used type of flooring these days. The tiles can be arranged on a flat surface that is either cemented or tiled. The flooring is shock proof, fire proof, water proof and comes in a wide array of colours and patterns. They are basically interlocking tiles with an mdf/hdf base and are reusable. But apart from the planks, one needs profiles and other accessories for laying them. The laying time is only a few hours. Laminated Wooden Planks 2] Tiles with wooden patterns These are available both as vitrified and ceramic tiles. They come in actual plank sizes (165mm x 900mm) and also in tile sizes (2'x4') etc. They are very easy to maintain but take more time to lay as compared to laminated planks. They require pigmented cement to fill the joints in order to give the seamless wooden look. Vitrified Tiles Ceramic Tiles 3] Vinyl wooden flooring They come in rolls or strips that can be just applied over the existing floor (cemented or tiled). They come in matte and gloss finishes. They are easy to maintain, water resistant and inexpensive but difficult to repair and might turn yellow as they age. Vinyl Rolls Vinyl Strips Hope these options help. All the best!
