When matching flooring with cabinets and countertops, start by choosing what feature you want to stand out most in the room.
If your cabinets are bold or dark, a lighter floor can help balance things out and prevent the room from feeling too heavy or dark.
Light-colored floors go well with dark countertops, while mid-tones can blend both elements without one overpowering the other.
Avoid using all the same shade throughout the kitchen, since that can make the room feel flat or too matchy.
Choose textures that complement each other so nothing feels out of place... smooth countertops go best with a lightly textured floor.
If your kitchen already has a lot of patterns or colors, go with neutral floors that won’t compete with your existing features.
Bring home samples and look at them in natural light to make sure they work together before you make any big decisions.
A well-matched floor helps tie all your finishes together and creates a kitchen that feels stylish, polished, and thoughtfully done.
