What Kind of Floors for Blonde Cabinets?

Light-colored kitchen cabinets can match with a variety of flooring.

When decorating a kitchen or bathroom space, the most expensive considerations are the most important because they are the most difficult and costly to replace. For example, the cabinets and flooring are the most thought about decorating options for the space, generally because they are the biggest part of a budget. If you have settled on light-colored cabinets, you have many choices for complementing flooring. Blond-colored cabinets are light and clean, matching well with the decor for any chosen decorating theme or color palette.

Tile

Tile comes in a seemingly endless amount of colors and styles that will easily coordinate with your blond cabinetry. Look for tiles with complementing cream and white notes, regardless of the color you choose. Marbled-colored tiles hide dirt well and are easy to clean. For the kitchen and bathrooms, tile is an affordable and versatile option. Not only is it relatively simple to install, but it also is durable enough to withstand the excess moisture and frequent use that these rooms endure.

Light-stained Woods

For a light and airy, clean-looking kitchen or bathroom, choose light-stained woods for the floors, such as maple, elm, pine or bamboo. These light colors will easily match with the cabinets while making the space look bigger.

Dark-stained Woods

If you are looking for contrast, dark-stained wood is an option, which will help visually break up the space and better showcase the cabinets by creating a distinction between the cabinets and floors. Look for woods such as oak or cherry to create a dynamic effect. Frame the area around the flooring with white or cream baseboards or trim to make a transition between the areas.

Laminate Options

Laminate flooring is available in styles that are easily comparable to wood and can even be more durable. Because they are not made of all wood, they are also more cost-efficient than hardwood or engineered planks. Laminate flooring is also available in light and dark stains that can either complement or contrast with your wood.

Concrete

Increasingly becoming a favorite flooring option for indoor spaces, concrete is affordable, cost-effective and easy on the environment. The light gray color of concrete will complement the look of blond cabinetry, especially for contemporary spaces. Concrete is also available in different colors or can be stained after installation to best coordinate with other colors in your kitchen or bathroom.
