<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Pale Shades for Bold Contrast
Light-colored floor tile will provide a bold contrast with the deep wood tones of mahogany kitchen cabinets. This style works if you want your cabinets to be the visual focal point of the room. Choose white or off-white, or pale yellows.
On the Other: Go Green for a Classic Complement
Green shades provide a lovely complement to mahogany tones. The color contrast isn't as striking as with lighter shades, but this choice still provides plenty of visual interest. A mint-green floor would be striking, yet less stark than a white floor. A sage green floor would feel warm and welcoming. Deeper greens will feel cozier still.
Bottom Line
If you want your mahogany cabinets to be the visual focal point of your kitchen, choose a tile or tile pattern in white, off-white or pale yellow. If you want a more complementary, unified, yet somewhat unique look, consider a green shade for your tiles. By the way, don't forget to consider the countertop colors as well when making your final decision.
