Staining hardwood floors, what color to choose?

6 years ago
My wife and I just bought a new home. While the current floors in the upstairs living space are beautiful, we are planning the stain them another color.

The kitchen and family room have a lot of natural cherry cabinets and we are having a difficult time determining a color that would work okay with the cabinets since we aren’t planning to alter them. We were considering a darker stain for the floors, like a chocolate or mocha, which would be a nice contrast to the white walls. However, it appears this would not go well with the cherry cabinets.

We are interested in some feedback and/or examples of what staining colors might match well.

Thanks.
