help with flooring to match cabinets

4 years ago

Please help me to decide on the floor . I’m staring at the floors for hours šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
The larger swatch that is circled is the kitchen cabinets. The two smaller swatches are woods that will be used throughout the house . The lighter small square will be a wall blocking stairs . Do you like floor on left or right ? šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™

    Is the left warm or cool tones ? And is the right warm or cool tones ?

    What cabinets are you using? The color is pale brown without any yellow undertone on my monitor. That's difficult to find today in cabinets. Both your flooring choices have a yellow caste. I wouldn't pay anything for either. You can search for French Oak or European Oak in engineered hardwood flooring. Also available in 100% waterproof spc core click planks like Pepperwood from Smartcore Naturals Hardwood at Lowes. And Silvan hardwood from Flooret in 7" and !!" widths. Keep looking.

    This floor is going all through the house , the question is a bit confusing. Maybe show us the cabinets and explain why that cabinet at all.Get unfinished floor and have it stained to match the cabinets if that is what you are trying to do.

    Hi Dan the cabinet color from doca kitchen is below . I will look at your floor recommendations . The cabinet is a cool tone and I prefer a warm look but I already ordered it .

    Hi Patricia
    We will do a engineered oak instead of staining . The floor will go throughout the house . . The kitchen cabinet is cool with almost pink blue undertones . What floor shade would you Recomend to warm the cabinet as well as countertop ?

    Dan . The floor on left looks similar to pepper wood . This floor is 10 inch planks

    The floor on right is provensa voltera in fresco

    In my house the floor from provensa looks yellow and nothing like the website

    Another angle of cabinets and floor

    Those 'different' angles and possibly light reflection certainly creates better matching of tones on my monitor. The Anderson Standford you linked to is too yellow on my monitor on their site. Sutton Hall seems a better match. I don't see your cabinet color tone as cool. It is not as warm as colors with more obvious yellow tones. Those Anderson products all use North American White Oak species wood. Which has an open grain absent for European Oak and French Oak. Pepperwood uses one of several oak species harvested across Europe and Russia with different grain characteristics and color tones than domestic oak. I'm not recommending the Pepperwood product for your project. Just offering it as an easy to pick up free sample of European Oak hardwood. It's constructed as a SPC core click install 100% waterproof lower cost option at $4.19. I see it as a direct replacement for LVP. Another similar product is the Silvan Hardwood flooring in 7 and 11" widths from Flooret.

    Some of the P. Volterra use European Oak according to their specifications. They don't list which products use which species.

    it seems likely since doca is a Spanish cabinet producer that European Oak or a Spanish sourced oak could be the certified wood they use. I'd contact your dealer for recommendations of engineered hardwood flooring to compliment your cabinet choice. Or the design services through one of the flagship showrooms.

    With the new pictures the left floor sample seems to match at the darker end of choices.

    Of those two I still like the darker one best with your cabinet color.

    Thanks cubby . I own the kitchen cabinets šŸ˜‚ and I agree about floor on left that you like which is twice the amount as floor on right šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

    @loreale Here are a few engineered white oak wood floors that I feel like your sample on left. Hope these will help you better envision the result after they are installed.

    If you own the cabinets already, you’ve got to go with the floor on the left—the one on the right just looks like a failed match (not a way to ā€œwarm upā€ the cabinets).

    This is Gregal Roble Natural. If you focus in on the flooring in front of the cabinet, you'll see an example of a complimentary choice they made.

    Dan1888 my dealer sells floors at $14 a Sq ft from Italy and I do not like him and regret not going to his competition that carry’s ceased kitchens which the similar wood is so much nicer .

  • 4 years ago

    Dan1888 the Sutton hall looks better I need to see in person . What color do you Recomend from silvan ? In the widest plank ?
    I’m trying to see the difference between the ā€œ grain ā€œ look of European vs American oak .
    In my current home we have dechateu flint floor and I love it but can’t find the right color for my doca cabinet

  • 4 years ago

    I have a new floor option .
    I’m showing the original floor that was on left next to the new floor . Would love alls opinionšŸ™šŸ™
