There’s nothing like a clean, crisp white kitchen. It’s classic and timeless. But, you need to add a few warm elements to a white kitchen. Hardwood floors are perfect for modern kitchens.
Making a modern kitchen cozy
A white kitchen needs a touch of warmth from hardwood floors.
Adding hardwood floors to a modern kitchen will make it feel more cozy and homey. Adding other natural tones, like copper and brass lighting fixtures, and natural stone countertops can also add some warmth. More earth tones are the perfect contrast to a modern kitchen that is mostly white.
Reclaimed wood
If you’re looking for an even bigger contrast to the clean lines of a modern kitchen, think about reclaimed wood. The variance from board to board, along with beautiful grain patterns make for a wonderful contrast. It’s a great compliment to minimalistic design and the white kitchen cabinets. It makes the kitchen feel like a home.
Distressed wood floors
You can also get distressed hardwood floors. Each board has been handscraped to give it some texture and patina. Customize your floors to perfectly suit your aesthetic. And, find the right stain to make the hardwood floors the exact color you want.
Dark matte hardwood floors
A matte floor finish is a great choice in the kitchen.
Darker hardwood floors will add more warmth. The darker you go, the more luxurious the floors will feel. Think about using a semi-gloss or a matte floor finish in the kitchen. The kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in the house, and too much shine will quickly look scratched and worn. A matte floor will hide imperfections that appear over time.
