Should wood floors match kitchen cabinets?

Tip # 1

Should you already have wood floors in your home, consider using the same flooring throughout. This creates a cohesive, seamless look. Select contrasting cabinets with the color of your floor in mind.

Tip # 2

For new wood flooring, select a contrasting color. If your cabinets are a light tone, a dark or medium-toned floor will set them off, and vice versa.

Tip # 3

If you have painted cabinets, you may select from a range of floor colors or finishes. With white or cream cabinets, dark floors provide a nice contrast, however, medium or light tones can offer a subtle look.

Tip # 4

If you’re adventurous and would like to mix wood species, to provide more variation in color among the planks, be sure to choose a wood that has lots of natural variation.

Tip # 5

Remember, the style of your flooring is as important as the color. You don’t want to select a style that clashes with your kitchen’s style or other design elements. For example, rough-hewn floors look more at home in a rustic kitchen than in a sleek modern space.
