Pairing your kitchen countertops and flooring can be difficult.
There are a world of choices out there, especially if you are starting with a
nearly empty kitchen. Changing your kitchen countertops and flooring can make
a huge impact on your home, but then again that’s why you’re doing this
though, isn’t it?
First thing when pairing your countertops
and flooring is to stick to a color scheme. Once you pick a color scheme you
can narrow down what else you want to add to your kitchen and which highlight
colors you would like. Using highlight colors in your kitchen can help make
it cozier and bring out pop of colors.
When figuring out
your color scheme, go to what you are drawn to most. You don’t want your
kitchen to be too bright or dark compared to the rest of your house. Your
kitchen is the hub of your home so choosing a warm, welcoming color will help
add to the feeling of home.
After you figure out your color
scheme you can figure out which kitchen countertops you would like. Usually,
in kitchens you will see a pattern of dark, light, dark or vice versa, light,
dark, light. This helps keep the contrast between your countertops, cabinets
and floor. You ideally want something that matches, but not too perfectly. If
you have a dark countertop you would most likely pick out a light cabinet,
and then proceed with a darker warm colored floor.
Another
tip while pairing both your countertop and flooring is to not over-do it. Try
to stay within a three-color color scheme. Adding too many colors to a space
can turn out to look chaotic and cramped. Try to keep your colors all
connected. For example, after you choose your countertop and you find there
are some gold tints to it then your backsplash can be gold which will help it
pop through your countertop.
