Kitchen Flooring "design" question

[Jay J.]

Hey!  I have a 'design' or 'style' question..

I'm replacing the flooring in my house prior to putting it on the market. I currently have sheet vinyl, and have to replace it (the dogs fault, long story short).  I would like to try and get the most 'bang for my buck' when I sell, so I'm thinking about upgrading.. 

I found a really good deal on vinyl 'click' wood flooring, but it's a pretty close match to my current cabinets. Does that matter? I've attached a pic of the cabinets & proposed flooring, and one of the current kitchen.

opinions...??

Hey Jay J. ,

As a kitchen designer, I typically shy away from anything closer than 3 shades darker or lighter than the cabinets. Have you considered painting the cabinets? That would give you the contrast you need without breaking the bank.

Good luck!
