my parquet flooring in room is dark brown..
it makes the room looks grounded and small..
if resanding it and giving it a new finish...is it possible to turn the dark brown colour (those olden days parquet) into a very light brown colour with some finishing layer?
what kinda flooring & floor colour makes the small room looks spacious?
Not much can be done with the colour.it makes the room looks grounded and small..

The natural colour of these old 5 finger parquet is usually red/brown, which is of mixed wood origin of either merbau or kempas. Some may even have a shellac to make the colour darker and make the colour variations between the individual pcs look more even.
You could explore laying laminates or engineered on top if the dark colour really bothers you. But that said, laminates seem to be going backwards (ie. from a wood floor to plastic) and engineered can be expensive. Decent quality engineered (even budget range) can cost anywhere from $15s/f. You might be able to get the cheaper chinese import ones at slightly less.
