What Kitchen Countertops and Floors Go Well Together?

Bader Obeid • Nov 27, 2015

When you are designing your kitchen, it is important to select flooring and countertop options that can complement each other. This can be daunting, especially when there are virtually endless combinations. Here are some suggestions to get you started, brought to you by the flooring and design experts at CMA Flooring in Carrollton, TX.

Naturally Timeless: Hardwood Floors and Marble Countertops

There is something very cozy about having floors and countertops pulled directly from nature. Marble has an intricate, yet simple beauty that pairs well with the details of wood. Hardwood floors, particularly hand-scraped or reclaimed wood, bring a sense of timelessness. Together, marble and hardwood feel comfortable and classic in a country or traditionally styled kitchen.

Stylish and Chic: Checkerboard Tile Flooring and Black Granite Countertops

For those bold enough to pull it off, black and white are a color combo that never goes out of style. Black and white checkerboard tile on the floor is a classic combination, but it looks slightly retro and incredibly stylish when paired with sleek black granite countertops. This is the perfect look for a loft or a designer home.

Easy Zen: Laminate Floors with Butcher Block Countertops

This option is clean and simple, for the minimalist. High-quality laminate flooring, available in a number of finishes, is easy to keep clean. It is an excellent choice for the pragmatist who values cleanliness and ease of use, but it can be selected in any finish to match the feel of the home. A good countertop to match is butcher block, which has natural warmth to it and is easily repaired if it becomes damaged. Together, they make a kitchen both functional and attractive.

Modernist: Slate Tile Floors and Cement Countertops

One of the newest countertop options on the market is cement. Cement countertops can be stained to match decor, and they look decidedly sleek and modern when paired with an edgy natural stone floor like slate. Try the combo in an architecturally complex home to up the wow factor in the kitchen.
