Flooring
Hi, first post from a long time lurker. I have a unit with an open floor plan with a large living/dining area and a small kitchen off to the side, kind of like an L shape. There is no doorway to the kitchen, it just opens to the living/dining room. There is also a hallway that comes into the l/d area from the other side of the room (the top of the L). I would like to install vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen and hall, but here is my dilemma-
The living/dining area has original narrow plank hardwood floors in a lighter finish. I'm not sure if I should try to match it as best I can, or contrast it with a dark floor. The floors will butt up to each other. I was planning to use the same floor in the kitchen and in the hall.
I would say this is a C+ 1 br unit in a decent area.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Picky C unit tenant applicants make me nervous.
