Suggestions for Flooring to Compliment Honey Oak Kitchen Cabinets, etc
Comments (7)This is my wood kitchens ides book. You might see a look you like. https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/75202366/list/wood-kitchens I also think going for a Luxury Vinyl tile might be the way to go rather than wood look. I have a refreshed oak kitchen with oak hardwood floors which I like just fine. However, your cabinets look like they might nearing the end of their life. If a new buyer changes them out, the new flooring may have to go too. Put something in that is neat and clean so the home is move in ready, but that won't be a rip out of expensive new materials if the new owners change things up in a couple of years....See MoreHoney Oak Kitchen – Need Flooring and Paint Ideas
Comments (8)I would love to see a lovely "white washed" oak looking vinyl in this space. The teal counter tops should be able to pull together the "wood" tones of the cabinets and the "soft grayish" tones of a white wash. Something like this is an example of what I'm thinking of: https://www.armstrongflooring.com/residential/en-ca/vinyl-flooring/luxury-vinyl-tile/luxe-plank-with-fastak-install/item/A6716.html If you can find the right vinyl plank, you should be able to get this to run throughout the space (including bathrooms, entrances and utility rooms). If you cannot find one that works nicely with the counters, I would suggest you leave the kitchen floor in place (it is the PERFECT match to the counters...you won't find anything better) and replace the carpets with a wood-toned vinyl. Now...just for fun, these homes are often built with "carpet" in mind. That means the subfloor (whatever it is...) if possibly the lowest of the low in terms of quality. That means it is often wavy or as far away from flat as you can get. Again, this is always the case...but it happens so often that you need to ASSUME there is a problem before you rip out the carpet. Once the carpet is gone, you will need to have the flatness and the subfloor SURFACE (the material that is sitting underneath the pad) assessed for vinyl. If you FLOAT the vinyl, then you only need to deal with "flatness". If you GLUE the vinyl then you have to deal with the type of MATERIAL as well. And that's where the headaches begin. Many times there is fibre board or luan sitting under carpet in a trailer (regardless of how well built it is). Both of these materials are "OK" underneath a floating floor, but they often have to come out if you want to glue down. And then the "flatness" has to be dealt with. Vinyl HATES wonky subfloors. And I mean HATES it. The subfloor has to be SMOOTH (vinyl telegraphs things like staples, staple holes, seams, etc. to the surface). And to get fibre board or luan smooth is a nightmare. They don't like "patch" material. Again, this could mean they need to come out and be replaced with something that can handle patch, etc. Please be prepared for some ++prep costs to deal with whatever is underneath that carpet. Whomsoever is doing the work for you will need to WALK INTO your home and pull back the carpet BEFORE they offer a quote. And the quote should include a range for the prep. It should look like $1-$4/sf for subfloor preparation (the range will depend on where you are and how expensive it is to hire local labour)....See MoreKitchen flooring ideas with honey oak cabinets
Comments (18)OK...so you ARE updating the kitchen. OK. Now we are getting to the nitty gritty. Take TWO WEEKS (yep...1/2 month) to figure out your ENTIRE HOUSE colour scheme. This will become your 7 year renovation plan. 'Cause once you change ONE THING you start seeing how tired everything else looks. Nope. I'm not kidding. The 7 year renovation time frame is roughly how long it takes to do everything - piece by piece. What you are going to do is give yourself an END LOOK. It's like grabbing a train in a foreign country. Would you jump on one just 'hoping' you get where you are going? No. You would plan your trip to suit the train schedules. So don't just 'jump in' with flooring and hope (against hope) you get to where you want to be. Take the time right now to plank how each space will look. Go ahead and gather paint chips and list what colour you want for each space. Your kitchen has 7 (seven) elements: 1. Cabinets (big ticket item) 2. Counter tops (big ticket item) 3. Flooring (big ticket item) 4. Appliances: Total expenditure with 5 (or more) items = big ticket item 5. Backsplash (low budget) 6. Lighting (low budget) 7. Paint/wall colours (low budget) Wow! That's just for the kitchen!!!! Holy Hanna! Now imagine the sitting room with the fireplace...and the entrance...living room...dining room...bathrooms...bedrooms. Whew! If you mess up ONE choice today you mess up everything down the line. Trust me on this one (we see it multiple times a day on Houzz). Sit down and figure out the ENTIRE house and all of it's colours (get paint chips to match). Now you start purchasing things like paint, backsplashes, lighting, etc. And BTW...you want to update your LIGHTING well before you update anything else...so that you can see the FINAL colour of the products in your house....See MoreWhat color LVP with honey oak cabinets?
Comments (31)Dyan, What a diff. Very nice job. I bet they're very happy w/their work. Show them some of these photos I've listed to see if they could paint over that tile around the fireplace. I like the black mantle, but a stencil painted tile would look so much better. (they can retile later on down the road). They have a lot of tutuorials for tiles on the floor, but it could easily be done on those around that box. Complete how-to: https://eastcoastcreativeblog.com/2012/09/stenciled-faux-tile-fireplace-tutorial.html paint it a base color like white or black, and then get a properly sized stencil and do the second color. I did a quick photoshop with this one. I like the addition of the warm wood mantle over the black. did a little mantle styling. that pic actually reflects a woven pendant, so I gave you one surrounded in the black. I think that black lantern light is a bit harsh for the colors in this room. Same photo using the woven pendant light. Here's the photo I used. The tiles have a bit of black, but they have that griege tone and a soft blue gray. I think it's nice w/the flooring. Stencil is from Royal Design Studio If they like more of the black and white, they could do that as well. This link actually has a really good tutorial using diff paint. Cost was $110 for the fireplace makeover https://jessicawellinginteriors.com/faux-cement-tile-fireplace/ of course you could choose any color or design. I thought these colors might work well w/the room colors. (is the wall color really that green looking in person?) do they plan on painting that kitchen island? I think if they just did that one, it would look great! they could add a bit of wood trim on the panel so that it looks finished, and nicely done. looks so much better! You can see the wood cabs in the background to get an idea of how it looks. they could do any size trim, beadboard, shiplap, (This is General Finishes Milk Paint in Snow White. I've used it. It's an acrylic paint. They could easily use this on the oak island and any added trim work. Just prime everything first w/Zinsser oil base primer. Always sand prior and after the primer) mdf pieces,,,,and it's relatively simple. Few hours would make a big impact. The island they could paint in a charcoal or black if they like. (paired w/black hardware)...See MoreAndrea Bennett
