Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Mar 27, 2013 12:34 pm I was just wandering what people's thoughts are for a grey kitchen with hardwood floorboards... do you think they will match? I was thinking dark grey high gloss kitchen cabinets, with Caesarstone Ice Snow benchtops, and a metallic silver splashback. On another note will fingermarks be more visible on dark or lighter cabinets? Re: Grey kitchen with hard wood floorboards 2Mar 27, 2013 1:24 pm What kind of hardwood would you go for? I think you can have any kind of kitchen with hardwood floors really!

Red to red-brown looks good, as does anything with grey/silver tones of course. Timber has a lot of variety to explore, a lot of it beautifully subtle. HD Land settled May '14.

It depends upon the look you're going for. As you can see in the above photos there is a lot of variety And the combinations will also create certain looks. Notice how the bottom one has very cool bluish grays and that paired with the grey floor gives a very modern almost clinical feel. With the warm woods, it gives a little bit more of a casual, almost country feel, and the dark woods create a feeling of elegance. In my kitchen I'm going for all white but a black kitchen island. I was considering white upper cabinets and gray lower as I think that looks beautiful, however have decided to accent the island instead. I'll be having a warm gray rustic floor.
