Honey Oak

Honey Oak


What color walls would look the best with medium oak kitchen cabinets and stainless steel appliances ?

Do you think it,s too much to put medium oak laminate flooring too ? My big kitchen dinning set is also medium oak. T he counters are very deep green granite ( Ubatuba). Please help me with the floor. The rest of the house is all medium honey oak wood. The kichen right now is solid beige 10x10 tiles placed diagnoly , but the grout is turning dark and uneven. I want to cover it with wood like laminate . I dont want to destroy the tiles.

Check out some of these kitchen makeovers that HGTV's "Spice Up My Kitchen" did with laminate wood flooring. Might give you some ideas.

Here are a couple of examples where the floor pretty much matches the cabinetry. Maybe not the same color as what you have in your kitchen, but will give you an idea about what all the same wood tone would look like:

I think if you do coordinate the floor, cupboards & dining set, then you definintely want to paint your kitchen something *not* neutral. It should be something bright to contrast all of the wood, like "stop" by sherwin williams:
