The Best Vinyl Flooring to Match White Cabinets

White

• White floors can match beautifully with white kitchen cabinets, but the look will become monotonous and boring if you don't break it up with accents. Choose a patterned vinyl floor that has lines to resemble tile, or swirls of color that resemble stone and marble. An unbroken white floor can be overwhelming to the eyes. If you do not choose a patterned floor, add small rugs to create splashes of color that break up the white. Instead of using patterns of accents, achieve your white-on-white kitchen look by choosing a different shade of white for the floor. Playing snow white cabinets off an antique white floor creates dimension and difference in the overall design, so each element looks unique but well-matched.

Wood

• Use vinyl flooring that resembles wood to create a traditional, timeless kitchen look. The contrast of bright white cabinetry against dark wood floors is stunning and dramatic. For a softer look, choose a vinyl floor that mimics light-colored wood. The overall room design will feel light and cheery. The beauty of wood-look floors is that you can use your accents to add any color elements you want to the kitchen, and the decor may be changed at will.

Colors

• Use color in vinyl flooring to make your kitchen cabinets look bright and clean, rather than cold and austere. Choose one or two main accent colors to use in the room to complement with and contrast against the white cabinets. Vinyl flooring that resembles colorful tiles will help the kitchen cabinets pop; the colors will look more vibrant and the cabinets cleaner and brighter.

Neutral

• Choose vinyl flooring with neutral color tones to create a timeless look that can be changed any time. Neutral floors match well with white cabinets and any additional elements you wish to place in the room. Browns, blacks, greys and whites are all neutral tones, and may be mixed and matched to create a well-balanced overall design. Add the accent colors of your choice to the decor.
