Have you lived with dark wood floors before? They show everything, so it is really hard to keep them looking clean. They can be very pretty though.

I would not do either of those things! As was mentioned above...dark floors require a lot of care to keep them clean. They show every footprint, every crumb, etc. The current floors and cabinets are gorgeous! They look great with your appliances. I would get rid of the yellow walls. Could you post other views of the room?

I actually think you have a really solid plan. I like the current floors though. Don't let anyone talk you out of blue cabinets! I love everything about your space! The appliances are gems!

Paint the walls or add a backsplash. The yellow is slightly bright or off. Another thing is, I love your ceiling beams! If your stain your floor it will clash with the ceiling beams possibly. They both add character! The new blue cabinets will give you a needed wood tone break.

If this is not your "forever" home, be aware that blue may be very polarizing at resale.

I'd paint the cabinets in the same shade as the appliances, which btw are beautiful.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I've been struggling with the floors and cabinets...if they should be changed at all. They are solid floors and custom fir cabinets. Maybe if I add backsplash...change wall paint and hardware..... It might help tone down all the orange I see in the room. Last owner owned a pub in town so hence the wood...lol! I do love my appliances :). They are a off white with a hint of yellow in them and again may be because of all the red undertones in room.

If I ever have painted cabinets they will light blue - but I love wood more. It is warm and cozy. Ask yourself if you think the wood looks "orange" because so many people here and on HGTV complain about orange wood - wood is brown which contains many colors so can have different tones depending on lighting and type of wood. It is a natural substance and has natural beauty - and when it suits them the design industry will be promoting it again. You might try different lightbulbs first.

A poor paint job will devalue the cabinets. It would need to be professionally done or you must be a very savvy DIY person. I just refinished mine - came out great, but a ton of work and painting correctly is also a ton of work. I have refinished other items, so felt I could take on the task. I also have some painted cabinets in my home - poorly made falling apart cabinets (the doors anyway) from the kitchen that I repurposed to the laundry room - they look OK for the laundry room - with blue walls, as white and blue is one of my favorite combos - but I find the blue and white laundry a bit "cold" compared to the warm wood in the kitchen.

You just moved in so paint the walls and use blue in your decor - maybe some pretty old china with blue in it - and live with it a while before making expensive changes.

If you feel there is too much wood some things you can consider: Remove an upper cabinet and replace with a small amount of open shelving, remove a wall of cabinets and replace with a painted hutch or pie safe, remove a set of lower doors and replace with an apron skirt front, remove a cabinet door and add a plate rail (I just did that one), remove a panel from a door and replace with glass or for an industrial or farmhouse look replace with metal lattice insert, remove an upper cabinet and replace with painted plate rail cabinet or decorative cabinet or wall hutch.

I'd darken the cabinets to a Java color and let everything else pop that way!!! Leave the floors the way they are!

I would start by painting the yellow walls cream.

Maybe live with things for awhile before deciding? I don't much care for wood on wood like in that room, so I can understand why you'd want to paint the cabinets. Other people do love that look. I also love darker wood floors with a slight grey undertone, which is what we did with our floors. We don't have pets so maybe that helps with the dust.

The countertop looks very pretty. A backsplash and changing the yellow paint would really change the room.

What brand and color did you end up using for your floors?

I'm not sure on brand but colour is called Ebony. I love the look but they do get dusty. I usually vacuum during the week and wait till after the wknd then give a quick wash. My main floor is 1200sq ft so it's not to much trouble for me to clean. I still love the classic look. Hope that helps :)
