White Cabinets and Dark Wood Floors

When you are remodeling your kitchen, you may want to try white cabinets and dark wood floors. If you do, you'll find that this combination is far more inviting and functional than the old, boring cabinets and dark floors.

You may have considered replacing your current cabinets with black cabinets and dark wood floors but then thought about replacing them with white cabinets and dark wood floors. Or perhaps you've thought about that but decided it wasn't going to work for your kitchen because of the kitchen floor color.

The fact is that when you put white cabinets and dark wood floors together, it will make your kitchen look like a whole lot better than you thought it would. There are several reasons why this combination works so well. Before you install either type of cabinets and dark wood floors in your kitchen, you should have an idea of how they will look on your kitchen.

First, when you replace your current cabinets with white cabinets and dark wood floors, you'll find that the cabinets are just part of the problem. The cabinets have a certain look about them that makes everything look cluttered. On top of that, they add a certain uninviting look to your kitchen, making it appear cold and unfriendly.

On the other hand, when you install white cabinets and dark wood floors, the floors will create a welcoming, warm look to your kitchen. When you have dark wood floors in a very bright, airy kitchen, you will notice a difference right away.

In addition, the dark wood floors are not as noticeable and won't detract from the beautiful kitchen design that you already have. The light colors of the wood flooring will be more understated than the dark wood floors would be.

In some cases, you might also consider having one darker color in the kitchen rather than two different lighter colors of dark wood floors. Your personal preference will come into play here, but the one thing you must remember is that you must keep the dark wood floors low enough so that it doesn't take away from the decor of the kitchen. If you have them too high, they will cast shadows on the floor that will detract from the look.

Since dark wood floors in a bright kitchen can actually change the look of the kitchen itself, you might consider having white cabinets and dark wood floors if you're feeling that way. If you decide to have the floor installed, the other cabinets may be replaced with a similar style and design.

If you decide that it's more important to have white cabinets and dark wood floors in your kitchen, consider this, too: Both cabinets and dark wood floors will add value to your home. In some cases, you may be able to get an even better value on your homes by replacing your current cabinets with white cabinets and dark wood floors.

Additionally, if you already have new cabinets and dark wood floors installed, you may consider the fact that the new cabinets and dark wood floors will give your kitchen a much-needed makeover. If you haven't had a complete kitchen remodel in a while, you may find that the cabinets and dark wood floors can change the look of your kitchen.

If you have a new stove or fridge and they are being installed, the new cabinets and dark wood floors will give your kitchen a fresh look. After you have added a new sink and built-in shelving, you'll find that your kitchen will have a whole new look.

The bottom line is that when you replace your current cabinets with white cabinets and dark wood floors, you'll likely find that your kitchen will have a whole new look. You can even add some other furniture to your kitchen such as an island and bar stools if you'd like.
