what color cabinets would you do............

in your kitchen, if you had oak floors throughout the whole down stairs??
My kitchen is very big and I am going to add an island also.
Any ideas? Thanks

We have wood floors in our kitchen w/ brown-cherry cabinets. I love the contrast.

I like the contrast of a dark, rich wood...but I also like the clean, airy feel of pairing it with white cabinets.

I would just stay away from a birch or anything too close a shade to the floor color.

I personally go for white cabinets with oak wood floors, but I def. wouldn't try to match your cabinets to your floor. If you want wood colored cabinets, I would go for a dark wood, like walnut

thanks for all the ideas. I was thinking that the cherry would not go with oak, but seems like alot of peopel say it looks good. So that is good to hear. My 1st thought was the glazed white tea stained or toffee type. I was even thinking washed black since we have alot of windows. It is so hard to decide!

Re: what color cabinets would you do............

I really think hardwood floors are pretty neutral and that you could pretty much put any color cabinets you would like.

I agree, but I prefer white cabinets. That way everything is neutral enough that you can redecorate when ever you want without having to change to much
