When I look at cottage kitchens on Pinterest and some other sites I see a variety of choices. Wood floors feel cottage and so do stone look tile. What color are you cabinets? Most cottage kitchens tend to have white cabinets but mine are wood. Cottages often are light in color. You might want to post a pic of the kitchen so we can give more specific advice.

There are so many ways to create the cottage look, I suggest you go to https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/cottage-kitchens/nqrwns and browse to find the kitchens you like best, and how wall colour and floors help them attain their charm.

White walls and wood-look floors (which need not be actual wood) are very much a theme.
