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.
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.
Ask your Flooring Installer
When it comes down to it, one of the best things you can do is ask your flooring installer.
