No, the LVP doesn’t look good with those cabs. The colors are too similar.

But, why would you install plastic floors in rustic cabin, in the first place? That’s just so wrong.

Why is it wrong?

I don’t think it’s wrong to install LVP — it’s practical, versatile & easy to maintain. I also think the floor color shown is not the best choice for those cabinets as they are too similar. Go several shades darker or lighter & it will look really nice! Good luck & have fun with your project.

It’s wrong to put plastic in a rustic environment. Plasticky, manmade quartz counters would be equally out of place in a rustic cabin.

Besides, fake abutting real, only makes the imitation look more fake. That scenario rarely works out esthetically.

Real wood is easy to maintain, can be sanded and re-stained any shade. and is thus, way more versatile than printed plastic. Wood floors have depth, warmth and beauty that LVP lacks.

I think a lake cabin is the right place to have easy care floors….the colors are perfect together…both will not show soil readily…and the lighter color will make the space feel lighter and brighter…if you don’t have much natural light ….it will be nice to have light..bright colors on the walls as well..

i'm not bothered by the idea of LVP in a lake cabin. Practical. Anyone who is completely offended by it can pay for your real hardwood floors. But whether these floors and these cabinets look good together is tough to say. They do blend which can be very overpowering if you have a whole wall of cabinets and wood floors that are almost the same color. Going a couple shades darker might help. it just really depends on how the ultimate space and decor look. Keep in mind some of the cheaper LVP floors can look really plasticky in certain shades of light. This is probably why a lot of people are so offended by them. What makes them stand out as fake isn't when they're next to real wood cabinets so much as when they're next to other real wood floors.

There is no right or wrong here. There's priorities or aesthetics or preferences, whatever.

@Karen what look and feel are you going for? What is your goal? Do you want the space to feel rustic? Or natural? Or is that just what you think is expected?

Is the cabin just for you or will you be renting it out? What do renting agencies think "sells" best to people looking to rent a cabin? What finishes do renters damage less?

What will be the maintenance in this cabin? Will you hire a company to check on your property and clean it periodically? Will you make trips there yourself to clean it?

If you're asking what individuals think, like for a survey, I prefer not having both as wood. I really like stone floors and heated. And I really like wood base cabinets. And my current preference is for soapstone counters, and they suit a rustic style along with others.

i use floor mats and runners at the vacat house. there is a lot of tracking in ......2 acre semi wooded property and sand from the beach. they get a shake out on the side porch and helpers use the dust buster as needed ....then the sweep/ damp mop of the floor can happen less often. the old pine floor gets protected and i like the warmth of some material on top of the floor. If you end up with mats/runners in that sense I think the floor is fine. Counter/ backsplash and appliances will all break it up . the floor you show can be run throughout the place . just be sure and get high quality. you can get funny wear and tear .... even though a 2nd property...or maybe BECAUSE its a 2nd property.

I'm not a fan of that particular type of rustic oak, or the door style. The knots are much too prominent for my taste. The raised panel door is a bit formal for a cabin. So no, I would not use that cabinet in a cabin, or any other home. I would prefer a quarter-sawn oak with a recessed panel door.

Also, the vinyl floor does not pair well with the cabinets. As someone stated, the color and pattern do not work--they are too similar so it looks like you tried to match it but failed. I find it difficult to work wood cabinets with wood floors (real or otherwise), so I'd probably try to find a different style/material for the flooring if you go with wooden cabinets. Marmoleum, a slate-look porcelain or a different pattern of vinyl would work better.

I have no problem with LVP in a lakeside cabin. The advantages often far outweigh the fact it isn't a "real wood". I'd assume this home is on a slab? No basement or crawl space? Have you considered an engineered flooring? Something just a bit rustic? That works too.

That said, the ADVANTAGE to LVP? An opportunity to run it directly into baths, at least a primary bath .

Then you use some wonderful organic materials such as soapstone counters, butcher block, .....lovely with a painted cabinet for the kitchen.

What you may want to do before you begin? Find some inspo pictures of how you want the cabin to feel. What are the walls, what will the ceiling be - painted. ...wood and paint, beams, etc.

You don't have to drown/brown a home to have a cabin/lake feel. : ) inside and out.

I think those cabinets are not at all attractive but I really dislike oak. Why not a nice painted cabinet for a bit of a country feel. BTW we had lino all through our cabin when I was growing up it was adream to take care of and IMO so is LVP. Can we see some pics of the cabin interior that IMO is how we can help Post the pics here in comments DO NOT star another post

It isn't built yet, Patricia

Seeing a small bit of the LVP may not show enough of its variation in color to gauge how it would look with cabinets that also have a lot of variation (with knots etc.) I would pick either the LVP or the cabinets, but not both. If you saw a whole room of the LVP and liked it - great! Otherwise, see if you can look up whole room installations using it.

If it were me (and I do wish I had a lake cabin!) I'd go for less rustic cabinets because something without knots will give you more options - for counters, backsplash, maybe painting them someday, etc.

It would help if you could show some inspiration pictures for your new build. Will the walls be wood paneled or drywall? How about trim, ceilings, etc? For example, the picture below is from a lake cabin that I've stayed in. Lots of wood in the ceilings, walls, railings (a bit too much for my taste) and if you will have many of those finishes, or if you will have wood paneled walls next to the cabinets, then I think the rustic cabinets would be too much along with it.

I like the idea of tiled floors in an upscale cabin. The dogs and I drag sand in here all the time. We need something worry-free and sturdy. Certain tiles, like slate, will give you more options with your cabinets. You could also go nuts with the floor. One of my neighbors has variegated wood-look porcelain tile and it looks great in their cabin-like house.

I would not combine fake wood and real wood. I get the benefit of LVP in a lake cabin in theory though I still would not want plastic floors. Rustic wood floors do not require lots of care and maintenance. Cabinets in theory could work with a different door style but I'd prefer painted cabinets with a rustic wood wide-plank floor. But I think providing intelligent advice requires more info than "lake cabin" - is this an Adirondacks-style camp? A New England/Maine lake house? Big Bear/Tahoe? Aspen? Lake Havasu? All of that will factor into the style of home and finishes.

Do YOU like it or love it?

I have to agree with Patricia's comments on the cabinets. Not sure if you've already picked them out. It's almost as if you're trying to announce at every step that you're in a rustic cabin. Even if you can get past how knotty they are, the style of the cabinets suggests a formality that doesn't go with the rustic nature of either cabinet or floor which makes them a bit reminiscent of the 80s where cabinets screamed rustic but then had all these formal raised beveled panels. I would do a simple shaker or panel.

Why does the cabin have to be/feel rustic? Do you even like the rustic feel/look? Is that the vision you have, in general for cabins?
