Hello Casse!

I love how bright your kitchen is! You could very easily use a darker wood flooring to replace your white carpet! The contrast between the white trim and the dark wood will be lovely! My rule of thumb is to look very closely at your wood cabinetry and find the absolute darkest "spot" of wood that you can find. This is your baseline for determining the hardwood floor color. In other words, you MUST be at least that dark with the flooring, or even darker. The goal is to have enough contrast between the new wood flooring and the existing wood cabinetry to make it clear that you were not trying to match them. Also, pay attention to the undertones in your cabinetry. Your wood appears to be rather "warm" in color, with some orange-golden undertones. You will want to make sure that your new hardwood floors also have those warmer undertones, albeit in darker shades, which will ensure that your new flooring truly compliments the cabinetry. Good luck!

I would consider going darker, but not too dark. If keeping the existing kitchen floor tile, I would coordinate with that so that the transition between the flooring in the kitchen and wood isn't jarring and it isn't massively darker than the cabinets.
