<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Choose a Light Wood Floor
Cherry cabinets are medium to dark in color and will get darker with time and sun exposure. A light-colored floor with some warm tones creates a cozy look. Consider hardwood flooring in oak, hickory or aspen. It is also best to avoid overly complicated patterns on your floors that may clash with the prominent grain pattern of the cherry wood.
On the Other: Choose a Dark Wood Floor
If you are looking for a more formal look, you might choose a darker exotic hardwood for your floor such as Brazilian Cherry. It is important to keep the wall color very light if you have a dark floor and cabinets, because an all-dark room can feel very cramped. You might consider matching accents such as cherry baseboards.
Bottom Line
The rich mahogany shades of cherry cabinets offer varied design possibilities. You can pair your cherry cabinets with a lighter hardwood floor for a casual look, or choose a darker flooring for a more exotic look.
