Working on a Traditional Garage Look

but kinda stuck on the type of flooring that should go with this. I put Chair Rails, and Crown Moulings. Colors are BM- Warm Glow and Linen White.

Please suggest a type of flooring that will help give a "traditional look"

I'm at about the same stage in my garage re-mod. What I'm doing, and what you may find matches beautifully with your walls is a concrete acid stain.

It maintains the concrete finish, but adds color. It will give it an "earthy" look that will match the walls. More depth than epoxy paint...

Here is the first coat. The great thing about this stain is that it accents all the imperfections already in the concrete and gives the floor alot of depth.

We're letting it dry overnight and applying another coat in the next 48 hours.
