Choosing the Color for Laminate Flooring in Kitchen

We have maple colored cabinets, white appliances, and our kitchen colors are toffee crunch (a very light mustard yellow) and cranberry. We are looking at putting in laminate wood flooring to match our cabinets, but our current countertops are a very light yellow. What color should we go with that will coordinate with the white appliances, cabinets, flooring, and kitchen colors?

I would go with a countertop of granite look that picks up the wood tone of cabinets/flooring and buy affordably at Lowe's or Home Depot. The walls and white appliances are attractive. I would create a basket of faux fruit pears, grapes and apples revealing a few leaves sitting on the counter or kitchen table to emphasize the wallpaper border which is very pretty.

What material are you planning on using for the counter top? I know it's pretty pricey, but a solid surface white counter top would really be your best option. The cabinets are on the darker side so you want the counter to pop and make some nice contrast in the kitchen. I suggest Cambria Quartz counters or Corian. Quartz is the best material you can ever use on a kitchen counter, it is non-porous, therefore making it the safest application. Corian is also as durable and can be a cheaper option.

If this is completely out of the budget and you are looking to use laminate then I say stick with the white. This also goes with your appliances.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!
