Hi. Do you have any stores that will loan you some samples? I brought home my favorites from the store. It really helped.

No! Not dark. The dark cabs are lovely but you need a lighter floor

Thanks Chris, so I should be looking at something to contrast the dark cabinets? Like gray wood or should I go with something that's light brown? Here is some samples from online but feel free to post any other samples you think would be best!

Sorry, I meant the message to Linda. To answer Chris question, I could probably pick some up at floor & decor or home Depot

I personally like the ombre grey or the mixed grey.  The ombre will give a warmer feel. The mixed has a cooler vibe. Either one is beautiful to me.

Thanks Linda, the ombre grey might even match the staircase railing to some degree.

Thank you ptreckel, I'll grab a sample along with other recommendations. We would like to keep the home up to date with current styles as much as possible without a full remodel.

BtW, grey is not outdated.

Your furniture is quite dark, so I wouldn't pick a floor that matches the furniture.

You pick a floor in the grey family.

Or, since you have yellow in your accessories and art, you might be able to pick a color that looks more like wood with grey in it. That way, if you want to use wood or natural accessories like wood trays, or baskets or picture frames, they will go nicely, and the floor will go with them and also the dark grey of the furniture.

Thank you loobab! Most of the furniture maybe except for the sectional will be replaced. I'll grab a sample of grey with wood colors along with the other samples I'm planning to grab. If anyone has time to post a picture of LVT floors so I can see what the recommendation looks like, I think that will help. Again, I appreciate everyone's response in helping me!

I also wanted to ask, for the staircase...I see some people add white risers. Is this recommended by designers? I'm afraid the white risers will not match anything but I'm not really sure.

I definitely think the light to medium cleaner look white oak look fits your place well. Here are a couple of pictures.

Thank you Unique Flooring Pro. Based on all the comments I received, seems like it's either grey/wood area or white oak type of style. Basically the goal is to have contrast with my dark cabinets.

You are quite welcome! It is true.

You may also select a multi-colored medium to dark floor which can blend well with your cabinets and other decors. Unless you are good at making design decision, you may want to hire a designer. A floor covering sales professional can be helpful. I would start by visiting a reputable floor covering store. Staffs there have much more floor resources than most big box stores. Good luck searching!

For the staircase risers, what is recommended as far as up to date design goes. I see some people adding white risers and some use normal LVT flooring for risers. 

Also has anyone seen staircases where LVT is used for risers but carpet for the steps?

Thank you

We used LVP on our basement stairs and had nosing made to match I do not like carpet on stairs You could also do an unfinished tread and have it stained to match the floor in g I like the last pic of flooring you showed the white pewter it picks u the dark from the cabinets and work well with the grays you have. BTW lower the art above the sofe it should sit about 6" above the back and IMO changing those spindles would be worth the money .

Thank you Patricia! I'll take that into consideration for the staircase and spindles. The art hanging most likely needs to be replaced with something bigger, it's a bit small for that wall but I'll take your points regarding height adjustment!

Here are 2 pics of stairs done with Luxe LVP floor and overlap matching noses. Hooe they will give an idea. I like white risers only if the treads' color will contrast.

Just received a set of pictures from a new construction house against dark cabinet for your reference

Based on suggestions posted here, I grabbed some samples that were available. I personally like 1, 2 and 3 (photo from left to right)

I just completed the floors based on a recommendations provided. Not too light or dark. Looks natural and blends in well with my cabinets. Thanks everyone!

I still need to finish the pantry closet, add the quarter rounds and paint trim. Otherwise all complete downstairs. Removing the tile was a pain in the a$$ but worth it.

Read some reviews on this forum of how people feel about their LVT floors. The vinyl will shrink over time because of the plasticizers used in the manufacturing of the tile. This is not a long-term kind of floor for a home. Some are replacing their floors after only 2 years.

@Ross, love your installed floor!
