Need help with kitchen floor choices

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

We have old vinyl in our kitchen, which needs to be replaced. Likely option for us is floating vinyl on top. The question I have is: how to go about choosing the right style?

Our kitchen has dark blue cabinets and 3 entrances. One entrance has dark engineered hardwood, installed about 4 years ago. On the other two entrances, we have much lighter oak hardwood installed 60 years ago and very badly stained & scraped and to be eventually replaced but not right now (could be months or a years in the future) and with no clear vision of what we would replace it with.

We like some light (almost white) wood faux we've seen, it goes well with the cabinets and the style suits us. But our concern is that we then have 3 distinct types of "wood" flooring in the house and that just won't look good / will look very piecemeal.

Does anyone have any good general advice on a way forward in making a good decision? Maybe we should not do wood faux in the kitchen, maybe go with a tile or marble look. Or maybe we should go dark to match the one entrance. Or oak to match the other two. Thoughts?
