Wood floors in kitchen -match or complement the cabinets?
Comments (3)Whether or not to match or complement depends on many factors (size of kitchen, number of cabinets, the overall feel of your kitchen etc.) But for what it is worth, I like kitchens in which there is some contrast between the floor and the cabinets. I've seen many pretty kitchen lately in which the cherry cabinets are almost an exact match for the wood floors. It creates an almost "womb"-like effect -- one feels engulfed in the same tone of wood. This isn't a bad look -- but I would prefer a bit more contrast to set off the floor and cabinets....See Morematching flooring with wood cabinets
Comments (7)yes, the white subway tile looks great w/alaska white granite (also call Delicatus White). do not do the 4" granite piece up the wall if you will be tiling. here is White Springs Granite (not sure if Alaska White is also named White Springs, but they are close looking) w/cabinets similar to yours. this has the 4" piece up the back and a painted wall. either do this, or eliminate it and tile the entire wall. not both. notice the darker flooring like you wanted. Alaskan White. so you can see how it looks next to white cabs as well. with white backsplash in glassand in ceramic subway with just the 4" pieceand running it up the back all the way (i dislike the darker granite they have w/it) notice how the white island stands out w/the dark flooring against this granite. even if you did a two tone look (half wood half white) or maybe just painted the hutch off to the side, this gives u an idea. hope these help....See MoreStaining wood floor to match tile wood
Comments (6)I'm with you mark_rachel...I'm wondering what "base" means. As for faux wood tile up against real wood floors = fashion faux pas that you will regret for the entire 25+ years you will live with the tile. If you can't stomach the tile/wood clash, you will simply spend more money in a few years to rip out the tile and do it again. If you want a nice compliment, look at travertine-look porcelain tiles in tones that will work nicely with the wood floors. And the kitchen floors should be chosen with all the other elements in the kitchen (a total of 7 elements for a kitchen) at once....See MorePaint to match wood floors and cabinets
