Location: west of East Texas | Lighter. Dark is more trendy right now and does look expensive but come on... doesn't everyone remember the '70's and how dreary it got with all the dark paneling? I could see it being that way in a trailer after a few trips. There are other ways to make the interior look 'richer'. |

Location: In my own little world | IMO lighter is always a better resale. Dark in a small space would depress me if I ever had to spend a lot of time in it. And light gives the appearance of larger, thus opening up the space. Even in clothing fashion trends black as it is slimming, light does not do that.

Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo. | The lighter -- the coffee. The space appears larger and more open. Dark cabinets have been a trend for a long time and that trend is losing popularity in home design. |

| I like the lighter ones. I watch Flipping Vegas and she is always going on about the lighter Oak cabinets and how "dated" they are and always goes with an expresso shade...and I hate it. Makes the space look smaller and I find it depressing. But then again, I like what I like and fashion trends have little effect on me. |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | Of those 2 I love the bottom one. It's a nice mixture of light and dark. That way it won't show dirt as bad. Any darker you'll be kicking your shoes off outside and can be a pain if going in and out. Dark wood shows dirt quickly and you will be mopping when you come in the door. Out of those two as a whole the bottom one.

Location: Dubuque,IA | I recently bought a new trailer and it is all dark wood etc and I feel like it really cuts down on the "light" in the trailer and feel ike I always need a light on. The trailer I got rid of was made in the late 90's and was all light colored and when the dealer got it he commented that the interior was "dated" but I would rather have the light color to brighten things up!!!! |

Location: where ever my L/Q trl is parked | My trailer is medium oak... I live in it and believe me even with light wood I still have to have the lights on during the day.... my trailer is facing west so I have the southern sun. I would feel very depressed if the wood was dark. |

Me too. We just bought a used trailer and I looked at ads for a looonnnggg time, I just can't make myself like dark wood!
Maybe it's because my bedroom furniture while growing up was oak? |

Location: Buffalo, TX | Thank you so much!!!....I figured the dark would win because it's still so popular, but just checking to see if the majority still like it....I'm actually a light/medium wood person, and was considering lighter wood in my new trailer, but I guess I better go with the flow and do dark again....I do think the lighter wood in a small space makes it feel more open, and I really don't get the trend in dark wood, but who am I to question it, I have to order what sells the most...these pictures are from 14'-15' LQ's and I'll be doing 11'-12', but for sure this time doing the lighter floor color....thanks again! |
