Hi I'm interested in remodeling my small L shapedkitchen (11×15). The problem I'm having is finding a countertop flooring and backsplash that will compliment Maple rye cabinets.Searching for ideas or inspiration I'm always running into the white kitchen images. Though beautiful it doesn't fit my personality.Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance for your help

    be sure and get a sample door before you order that. the stain looks really uneven. I've seen better stained maple in lighter tones..... usually its the darker stains that look blotchy but this looks like it wasnt even applied evenly or poor quality stain or something......be careful with your choosing things.

    My Wellborn maple cabs look a little yellowed maybe

    Karndean warm ash LVP

    Cambria Buxton quartz

    I always like soapstone with maple cabs. If going light maple, do a mid-tone warm wood floor. Or do a slate or larger scale tile floor in a charcoal or ivory if going with dark counters.

    Thanks Beth H.! This is a wealth of information.

    I'll include my current space below

    I really love the look of the light maple cabinets. I want a light and bright kitchen w warm tones. The rest of the home has the original hardwoods (I'll include pics) so I will have to select a non hardwood look. Another pic I'm going to show is from a property brothers episode.

    It's so frustrating because I'm not a designer and I'm indecisive

    the floors are beautiful.

    I think some of the pics of the first few color combos would look very pretty.

    the maple w/the soft sage, the blush tones, warm apricot, creams, soft golden tans,,,,any of those would look nice.

    go to a stone yard w/one of your doors. then pick a countertop you like. Any of the white quartz options should work w/the maple and the flooring.

    bring in the colors I mentioned w/paint, accessories.

    pick your tile splash last after everything is installed

    you'll have to put it up next to the cab door.

    from this pic it looks a little grayish-taupe, your door color is yellow.

    do you think they go together?

    It does. Sigh. I only have a small sample piece so, I used that. Here is a pic of them together

    what about this one?

    has the warmer tones to it. it's a terrazzo-like porcelain tile

    Tilebar or Ivy Hill carry it (home depot/lowes)

    (i've used this tile in someone elses home. it's very nice)

    You need to ask for a full door sample. NO way you should pick flooring w/that tiny piece.

    that last pic you posted looks very cool toned. a gray. you need something a bit warmer

    Lol! That's what I was given. I'll have to see if I can take door sample home.

    I will also check out your suggestion later in the week at Home Depot or Lowe's. It looks pretty though!!
