It would be best to post larger samples to give an adequate answer. Also having photos of the Home would be great. It’s an important and costly decision so proper steps ought to be taken.

I like the first one. Or if you can find a wood one but not that yellowish one you have. I know the following examples of wood colored alternatives to the one you have don't show a kitchen, but the color scheme will give you an idea. Overall I like the 1st one on the left on YOUR picture the best.

well,,,those make quite a difference! if you get the busier looking floors, then everything else will need to be subdued. I say out of what you've picked, Schofeld Mill and Oyster are the best.

looks nice. you don't have to do a plain white subway tile you know (so sick of white subway in every, single kitchen!)

but, here is a pic of white counter, white subway and similar color cabinets w/darker floor

here's a white quartz w/carrara subway.

maybe something in this color? Or maybe it's just my monitor making it more yellow. see the one below how it's a tad more neutral? that would be perfect w/yours. (marble subway tile too!)

I like the Schofield.

Emily,

I like your counter and cabinets. Very pretty! I vote Schofield as it avoids yellow. But if Oyster can avoid the yellow go for it! And I agree with BethH " (so sick of white subway in every, single kitchen!) " You have a lovely space that can lend itself to a wonderful unique and beautiful tile.

Have you taken the Oyster sample in other rooms of your house? I myself am searching for flooring. It can be so challenging. The lighting in my family room is totally different than formal dinning or front hall. I find I keep going between two different floors. I keep telling myself whatever I put up will be 1000 times better than what I currently have.

I believe with light floors you need to have excellent lighting. Not just natural light but lighting that will make anything muddy or dirty yellow more blue, clear, crisp, especially with your gray cabinetry.

Keep us posted as to the choice.

I'm a bit concerned with the "laminate" in a kitchen. Please be aware that most laminates are not RATED for kitchens (if you read warranties, some SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDE kitchens). The steam from a dishwasher has been damaging enough to cause laminates (especially in this price range) to require replacing inside of 3 years. Yep. Three years. Some of the HIGH END laminates (like $4.50/sf) can get 7 years....Patricia will tell you that her's has gone 10 years without issue. And then she will tell you that her laminate is out of Germany and is a VERY HIGH END product ($4.50/sf might be too low for her product).

If you insist on putting laminate in a kitchen, I'm going to offer this advice: please purchase enough "overage" to re-install your kitchen TWICE! Yes. Twice. That's how we get a laminate to "live" in a kitchen for 15 years. We buy enough of it to replace the kitchen by year 7....sigh.

That means a 300sf kitchen will need to have 600sf delivered to the home. The first 300sf is installed while the other 300sf is put into storage for use at a later date. And I'm not kidding about this. I've seen it. I've helped replace a 4 year old laminate because it bubbled and delaminated in a kitchen. It isn't pretty. It isn't fun. And it is HORRIBLY upsetting for the homeowner to find out that the product was only sold for 18 months....and then it disappeared (production runs on these are VERY short. Once it's gone it's gone).

Please do yourself a favour and find out whether or not these laminates are water resistant or water prooof (by the price I would say "none of the above").

As an aside, why is a FLOATING FLOOR being installed FIRST??????? Floating floors (like laminates) are installed AFTER the kitchen...not before (it can be done....but it usually isn't). A floating floor will NOT run underneath the cabinets. It will stop at the BASE. Please do NOT let the General Contractor install the floors underneath the cabinets. It will void your warranty immediately (but then again putting laminate in a kitchen might just to that anyways).

SJ, I also have laminate in my kitchen. I have had it for ~ 10 years. It is by QuikStep. I ordered it online and my husband installed it. So far, knock on wood!!, I have had no issues. We remodeled our kitchen 2 years ago and it still is doing great. We have had our QuikStep laminate in our dining room for almost 20 years. I can't believe it has been that long!! Time flies! We also have QuikStep in our family room and library. Again, so far, knock on wood, no problems. But, the kitchen flooring was made for kitchens and baths I believe. Something about wax on the click lock pieces that helped to minimize water damage.
