What Color Wood Floor with Dark Cabinets?

Choosing what color wood floor to pair with dark cabinets can be a tricky question. Are we talking dark painted cabinets or dark wooden cabinets? Hopefully, this helps! 

Choosing a Wood 
Floor Color

One of the most common questions flooring installers get asked is "what color wood floor with dark cabinets?" The final decision can greatly impact the flow of the entire space, for better or for worse. Typically, the best choice is to go with a lighter wooden floor. 9 times out of 10, a darker floor makes the space feel confined.

Oak Wood Flooring

Oak flooring is a timeless choice that never seems to go out of style, at least that's what we've seen. Available in red and white oak, oak flooring is commonly paired with dark cabinets due to its adaptability, naturally lighter tones, and countless finish options.  

Maple Wood Flooring

Another popular pairing, maple flooring is lighter and brighter in comparison to oak flooring. Depending on what you're looking for, Maple flooring has less options is terms of grain patterns and is commonly more difficult to refinish evenly. 

Engineered Wood Flooring

Engineered wood flooring, as seen above is great for a number of reasons. First, engineered can provide a large variation of coloring that ties in various features of the home such as varying cabinetry. Additionally, engineered wood flooring accommodates different installation methods.

Best Flooring with Dark Cabinets 

An important aspect to remember when choosing a floor to compliment your dark cabinets is this: Be careful if choosing a floor with grey tones. Grey tones can sometimes distort the color of your cabinets. The best way to go about it is having your local flooring team bring over a few samples. Keep the samples by the cabinets and see how it looks in different lighting.

Jim and the team were great to work with. They made time to answer our questions and to walk through the project details. They made adjustments when needed and were transparent in the progress. We are very happy with the end result. They put in new flooring for the first floor and removed existing flooring and carpet.

TDWTSTWD!!!! (They do what they say they will do)!! 110% A+ regarding communications....you always know when they're coming! They are INCREDIBLY responsive. We love our floors! Nothing is inexpensive anymore; and what they do is not the easiest of jobs (I, too, am a contractor.......so I know what they are up against)! You get what you pay for!!! I'm not sugar coating anything (other than my donut); there's no horsing around or sales tricks or anything with Floorscapes, again..........TDWTSTWD!!

We love our new floors from Floorscapes! From picking out the best flooring for our situation through the installation process, they could not have been better. Not only are they very knowledgeable and professional, but every person we dealt with was very friendly and responded quickly to any questions we had. Three of my family members have used Floorscapes over the last two years, and each one of us have had wonderful experiences. I highly recommend them. They really are the BEST!

I had the pleasure of having Nate from FoorScapes put in a bathroom tile floor for me. The job Nate did exceeded my expectations!

Work was done beautifully. I had old carpeting removed from my spare bedroom/craft room and a wood floor installed. I love it. Scheduling was a little fluid but I understand complications can arise. They'll be doing another room for me next month.
