Flooring Change? - [email protected] - 01-24-2026

So I was inspired by someone else who was playing around with showing different flooring options for his coach. We have been talking about changing our flooring for a while but this is a great way to envision how the flooring is going to look. I used google gemini to do this. 

I think I like the dark walnut, especially with all the light colors throughout the rest of the coach. 

What would you pick and why?

Here is how it looks now, carpet in the living room and granite in the kitchen into the bathroom.

What color are your columns on the sides? They appear dark, but there’s just enough glare to possibly hide their true color.

If they’re dark, I’m also leaning dark like you did. If they’re lighter, than the dark with light accents. Somehow the light floor seems to clash with the light furniture.

If I can make any recommendation, stay away from the flooring company Bella Cera. They have some very weird ideas about where and who they sell to. You could easily find down the road that what they sold you before isn’t sold in your area anymore and they refuse to sell you more. I have a section I can’t complete after I removed a piece of furniture because they don’t sell the product in my area anymore. They won’t let a retailer sell out of that retailer’s local area, so I can't even have it shipped in. Very strange.

The columns are actually gold with black stripes on them. We are actually thinking of wrapping them with something else but the gold is not too obnoxious. 

Here is a better angle showing one of the columns:

John, I did your coach in weatherford. I have purchased engineered wood from that store since 1990. They are a Bela Cera dealer. Sometimes the dye lot is different or they discontinued the style.

Ernie,
Bella Cera told me I could not buy any more flooring to finish the changes, as they’d taken that particular product out of the area. They also said that a dealer in any other area could not sell it to me per their dealer agreement. It was a very strange conversation with them. That’s why I called you several years ago asking if you had any left overs from the job- knowing that was a crazy ask.


Jeff,

I’d still say the dark. If you decide not to wrap the columns, it works. If you decide to wrap them, I’m sure you’ll pick something that works.
Ernie does a very nice job, if you need an installer!
