<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Light Wood Flooring
Cherry wood cabinets can range in color from a light cherry wood to a very deep, dark red color. Pairing light-color flooring, such as oak, pecan or aspen wood, is a good choice no matter what the shade of cherry wood. Lighter-color flooring tends to make a room more casual and have a warmer feel.
On the Other: Dark Wood Flooring
Dark-wood flooring is also an option. Woods such as dark maple or walnut are good choices to pair with cherry wood cabinets. Dark-color flooring tends to make a room look more formal or rich. If you are considering pairing granite countertops with your cherry cabinets, dark-wood floors will add to the rich feel you are trying to achieve.
Bottom Line
For most kitchens, pairing a lighter-color wood flooring with the richness and warmth created by the cherry wood cabinets is a good match. The lighter-color floors will help open up the space that may otherwise seem closed off due to a darker cherry wood that is most popular in cabinet making.
