We’d like votes on this floor: does it make the kitchen or is it a distraction?
Mixing colors on the cabinet and island is a popular way to bring variety into a kitchen. Dark brown wood on an island with white stone on top, and teal perimeter cabinets covered by black counters — inset with a white farm sink — have a nice, warm country feeling. That mixes well with the horizontal plank whitewashed walls and crisp white woodwork that tie into the sink. There are no upper cabinets in sight.
The trio of handsome pendant fixtures has a warehouse sort of chic plus they yield terrific task lighting over the cook top (so smart).
Then there’s the floor: big dark diamonds stained to relate to the island with natural oak used for contast. However, with diagonals running crosswise and floor boards running lengthwise it’s intended to make the room appear wider. Instead, it simply dominates.
