Share Your Reference
Send us a photo, material sample, paint code, or any colour reference — a cabinet door, a tile, a fabric swatch, a Farrow & Ball colour, or an existing floor you want to match. Any format works.
COMPLIMENTARY SERVICE
Every Floors Toronto engineered hardwood order includes complimentary custom stain matching. Whether you need to match existing millwork, align with a design palette, or create a completely unique oak tone — our team works with you until the colour is exactly right. No upcharge. No compromise.
Most flooring suppliers charge a premium for custom colour work. Floors Toronto includes custom stain matching at no additional cost because we believe the right colour is not an upgrade — it is the standard. Every engineered hardwood order placed with Floors Toronto is eligible for complimentary stain matching, whether you are a Toronto homeowner, an interior designer working on a luxury renovation, or a contractor delivering a multi-unit project.
A simple four-step process designed for designers, contractors, and homeowners.
01
Send us a photo, material sample, paint code, or any colour reference — a cabinet door, a tile, a fabric swatch, a Farrow & Ball colour, or an existing floor you want to match. Any format works.
02
Our team develops custom stain formulations on actual European white oak planks — the same species and grade you are ordering. You see exactly how the colour behaves on the real material, not a chip.
03
We send physical stain samples to your Toronto address or to your client's project site. If the first sample is not right, we refine and resend at no charge — as many rounds as it takes to achieve the exact match.
04
Once approved, your custom stain is applied to your full order with batch consistency guaranteed across every plank. Delivered to your Toronto or GTA address on your project schedule.
Our custom stain programme works across a wide range of reference types and design contexts.
The most common match request — align your new engineered hardwood to existing kitchen cabinetry, built-ins, doors, or wood panelling. We work with warm oak, cool grey, and deep espresso tones equally.
Matching to a Benjamin Moore, Farrow & Ball, or Sherwin-Williams wall colour creates a cohesive interior. Toronto designers frequently use this approach to anchor an entire room's colour story through the floor.
Transitioning from tile to hardwood across a Toronto open-plan space requires tonal harmony. We match engineered oak to porcelain, marble, limestone, and terrazzo references.
Upholstery, leather, drapery — any fabric or soft surface reference can be used as a stain target. Particularly popular for whole-room custom residential projects in Toronto's Annex and Rosedale neighbourhoods.
Hospitality and retail clients use custom stain matching to align flooring with brand colour systems — ensuring consistent material identity across multiple Toronto locations or an entire property portfolio.
When adding hardwood to a new room of a Toronto home, we match the stain to your existing floor exactly — eliminating visible tonal breaks across open-plan spaces or between adjoining rooms.
Custom matching begins from our curated palette of European oak stains — or from any external reference you provide.

Warm Sand

Christine L."I needed the floor to match a custom walnut-stained millwork throughout a Forest Hill renovation. Floors Toronto nailed it in two sample rounds and the fact that it was completely free was genuinely surprising. Every other supplier quoted me an upcharge for this."

Priya S."For a Yorkville townhouse project, I needed a very specific grey-beige tone to work with honed limestone and white oak furniture. Floors Toronto matched it perfectly and the stain held consistently across every single plank in the order."

Michael R."We used the custom stain service for a boutique hotel in the King West area — needed the floor to match the brand's warm walnut identity. Floors Toronto delivered on spec and on schedule. The free service saved us a meaningful amount on a large commercial order."

Send any format and our team will develop a stain sample on real European white oak.
Floors Toronto provides unlimited stain sample revisions at no charge until the colour match meets your approval. Most custom matches are achieved within two sample rounds. Physical samples are shipped to your Toronto or GTA address.
