My studio apt is small. I want a modern look, what stain should I use for wood floors and kitchen cabinet?
since your apt is small, i wouldn't recommend a dark stain. maybe a honey colored stain or a cherry finish. cherry would be more modern looking but not super darkened.
"Modern" ?
The Modern movement of the 50s - 60's be all about plastics. Formica and such.
The Modern movement really begin in the 40's but was pretty much unconscious by the 70's when everything became "Earth Tones" in a direct response to too much plastic.
Sorry, I dont know what wood stain to suggest, but wood within the 50's was VERY pale - almost white wash. Good luck
Answers: I would use a light stain on the floors and cabinets. My house is small and we enjoy both dark floors and cabinets. It make the room look even smaller, and it is also a bear to clean! If you don't similar to the lighter stains go for something in the atmosphere tones then. Just avoid the dark.
