go darker on the floor, contrast is good esp if there is someone with low vision in tour life.
I don't know, but I did go to Pergo and see that they had some pictures with wood on the walls as well as on the floor and maybe that can give you some ideas.https://na.pergo.com/laminate-flooring/laminate-flooring-on-walls
Base your decision on how much lighting is in the room as well as you furniture
Pergo has some great flowing that have several hues in the flooring, allowing it to easily blend with multiple shades of wood.
If it is a small rom, I would get the same color and type. It will make the room look bigger.
I'd actually go lighter to lighten up the room. It looks like we all have our own preferences.
I would go dark on the floor and maybe a pretty rug on top, have you thought of maybe painting your paneling?
We have oak.
How big is the room? Why not choose a colored rim and continue with walnut on the floor to make the rm. look bigger?
Paint the paneling! Any color you would like.
Do you have pets? If so, think carefully about choosing dark wood as it shows every bit of fluff, lint, hairs, etc. Dark flooring tends to look more formal and is very elegant; I have it myself (and love it) but I definitely need to Swiffer-dust it a LOT and I no longer have pets or children running around.
Lighter wood tends to look more casual. If I were you, I’d choose a middle color - not too dark and not too light; that’s the safest choice. You don’t say what room this is for. Is it your living room? Have you ever considered painting your panelling? If you ever do, I’d also paint the baseboards a warm white and paint any doors and doorframe a warm white as well.
You might want to choose a contrasting floor like one of the new rustic gray washed colors... some have a brownish tone to them.. .that would work with the wall color... but leave your options open to paint the paneled walls at a later time if you wanted to... Having the floors the same shade and tone as the walls would make the room feel like a small wooden box and I don't think you would be very happy with that.
I would match it. Make the room look larger
I would definitely paint that walnut looking panelling on the wall a cream white or some soft neutral white in a low sheen....it is almost impossible to come close to an existing color on the floor to match panelling....and you will brighten up the room and the only wood you see would be the floor...and you could get any shade you wish without worrying about matching....and really nobody does wood panel walls with wood floors, you need a brighter color to make the room as light as possible....
If it were me, I would paint the paneling (which I’ve done successfully in 3 past homes). Then you could select any color for the floors; but always make sure it’s contrasting. If you choose to keep the paneling as is, I might skip putting down a wood floor and opt for some travertine, ceramic or marble tile.
Go with a shade if two darker not real dark.
Darker to match lines on panelling!
