It is a no brainer that darker stain colors are in. They create a sense of elegance and sophistication that epitomizes an upscale lifestyle. That being said, today we are talking about the Jacobean Stain color. Jacobean is the perfect median between Dark Walnut and Ebony. It creates a mood that is inviting yet sleek. Paired with white or lighter colored walls will definitely improve any home, making it feel anew. And for all lovers of interior design, its contrast to lights makes for an ideal minimalist setting.
With all that elegance comes maintenance. Yes, it is no secret that scratches, dust and smudges are more noticeable in dark stains like Jacobean but with proper care such as mopping and dusting, there is no reason for your floors to be kept unhealthy. A pro-tip is use *Minwax Stain Cover to comoflauge minor scratch marks. The marker comes in an array of stain colors therefore finding one to match your floors should not be a problem.
If your feeling even bolder try out dark wood floor stains in your kitchen rather than tiles. You'll for sure be the envy amongst your neighbors.
