I would pick something else that is different enough so that it doesn't look like you were trying to match two things that don't match. I would not put actual hard wood floors up next to tile floors made to look like wood.

agree cpaul1

We have similar hardwoods, cabinets and countertops; we chose a gray porcelain tile.

Thanks for ask the replies. Our kitchen will be white cabinets with Carrara grigio quartz (third up in the right in the photo I posted above). We came to the same conclusions with the wood /wood looking tile butting up and looking goofy, so we decided on a gray porcelain as well, and I'm glad to see how nice yours turned out! They're installing the tile today and cabinets next week

I agree with Cinar. You can't use fake wood butting up to real wood. You need to go with a completely different material or go with the same hardwood from the living area into the kitchen. That's what I would recommend. Keep the flow going from one room to the next.

Austincales, how do you like the MSI Carrara Grigio? We are also doing white cabinets and love the Carrara Grigio - how does it look with white cabinets? Would you mind posting a picture if possible? Thanks so much!
