I am in the process of updating a kitchen with new flooring and need advice. My style is country cottage/french country. We hav decided to put down hardwood and can't make up my mind on the right color tone. While I love the blonde natural Oak color, I fear that it may not look best with my style. My kitchen cabinets and table is a cream color with a black and beige granite look counter top. Please tell me if I should go with the light oak or a darker floor and should I paint my kitchen cabinets some other color.
If your cabinets are a cream paint color, any flooring that is natural blonde will be washed out by the neutral color of the cabinets. When you are choosing flooring, try to go for the more popular and striking look of dark hardwood.
Once you have your floor installed, you can do a few things: choose a darker shade for your cabinets to achieve a cohesive style, and pull your room together with a focal point such as a large country style or modern area rug. Choose one with a cream background such as this one:
Having a rug under your table will really pull your room together and accent your hardwood floor.
If you decide to paint your kitchen cabinets, look for a color that is complimentary to both your floor and your counter tops. Often lightening up your cabinets with fresh paint makes a world of difference in a kitchen.
