Since your cabinets are a stained "cherry" colour, you might want to work with natural cherry (no stain....just let it get deeper and "redder" as it ages). I always think cherry does well with cherry. And natural cherry will go well with the counter tops. That is a combination we like to see "work together": the counters paired with the flooring.

You will notice your current floors are doing just that. You can to a "like replaced with like" approach. Aayer's Flooring has that suggestion in the first photo. I'm a fan of light/natural coloured wood, which is why I suggest natural cherry that is allowed to mellow in place. It can be quite handsome.

I would still look at exchanging like-for-like. A wood that replaces the light tiles is what I would be after. And if the lighting is going to be updated, do it BEFORE you make ANY decisions about the rest of the finishes. Lighting (as you have just noticed) changes everything.

I do really still want Brizalian Cherry engineered hardwood floors.

Brazilian Cherry? Jatoba? Are you SURE? It has TWO different colour presentations: Fire-Orange/red/brown .......or (now for the good part) PURPLE/Pink/rose-red!!!! Yep. You read that right - PURPLE! Sigh...such a PRETTY PINK too. Yes. Pink. I am NOT kidding! Pink.

You have mushroom brown cabinets. There is NOTHING to suggest that Brazilian Cherry would work - in either presentation.

So with my mushroom brown cabinets, what are some colors that you would recommend?

I've already suggested a light coloured floor. I have suggested replacing the light coloured tile with a wood that matches the tile in tone/colour family. Aayer's Flooring has a version in their first photo. That would be my suggestion.

You have a dark cabinet in brown. You have light/cream/ivory coloured counter tops. I'm NOT seeing a HUGE amount of natural lighting. So "dark" is out. Even mid-tone is out (too matchy matchy with the cabinets). That leaves "light". In other words an exact match to the tiles you already have....like the first photo in Aayers Flooring post.

The amount of light in the space, the cabinets AND the counter tops will dictate what direction you go in. The current tiles are an EXCELLENT match to the counter tops AND the cabinets AND the light levels. Hmmmm. If it ain't broke. Don't fix it.

Thanks again. It's actually linoleum on the kitchen floor that looks like tile. The lack of light is due to me closing the blinds and curtains to try to get a more true color of the cabinets for the picture. The floor, linoleum is gray. The counter tops do also have some gray in it as do the walls.

"....have some gray in it as do the walls." Yep...and that's how much your lighting situation is changing the impression of these colours. Remember: the way something "reads" (ie. it reads as cream or beige instead of gray) is by standing back 10 ft (like you have in the photos) and looking at the OVERALL appearance.

If you have other photos (natural lighting - no artificial lights on....etc) we will have a much better understanding of how things are "reading". And yes....they still read creamy beige in the photos. A snick of gray isn't going to change a WHOLE BUNCH of cream/beige.

Am now thinking Amendoim. Your thoughts?
