The advice of adding a rug under the dining table is golden . I just recently discovered this by chance . My dining table is a golden teak which is several shades darker than the rest of the woods / floor and it always bothered me . Then I bought a sisal rug for the living room and it seemed not large enough for the space . So last week I placed it under the dining table to see if it makes more sense and voila .... it was the perfect spot . The sisal rug is lighter and it lends itself to a great harmonic look with the other light woods now . If only I saw this video sooner Nick :)

Ohhh god, this! I have a conundrum with 4 different wood tones... 3 were not of my own choosing :D In our previous home, we had darker wooden floors and dark book shelves/cabinets (very classic, modular - not gonna get rid of them). We happened to buy a house... so the floor in the living room is light (warm), there is mid-tone warm timber on the fireplace (the edge that goes around it) and there is a coffee table and a lower cabinet which are a 4th different wood tone... So I've been sitting here thinking how to create a "happy marriage" between all of them. The only thing that is easier to change is the coffee table and cabinet situation. At least I learned from Nick that it's a good thing some wood texture is showing for all of them yet it's different... My dark book cases are against a light wall and light floor. Not sure a carpet would really work here. So my best guess is that I should probably mirror the book case color in a darker coffee table, maybe place a rug under the coffee table to play off from the light floor... but then there are the curtains and the rest aaaand I'm going crazy :D
