8 Cream Kitchen Flooring Ideas For A Classic Look

When you're dreaming about your ideal kitchen, what does your kitchen flooring look like? If you just want something neutral — especially a hue that can let you easily change cabinet colors — but don't know where to begin, cream colored kitchen flooring can be a good starting point.

We've gathered a few cream kitchen flooring ideas to inspire you. From light hardwood to patterned tile, this hue can work with a variety of styles.

1. Keep it minimal and sleek.

For a chic and classic look, consider pairing cream hardwood flooring with white cabinets and light wood countertops. This space also incorporates open shelving in the same tones.

2. Experiment with a subtle pattern.

Just because you're sticking to a neutral cream color doesn't mean you can't play with the look of it. Pair lantern shaped tile with dark cabinets for a modern style.

5. Pair minimalist wood cabinets with cream tiles.

If you're more of a fan of uniform kitchen tiles, go for a style like this one. When combined with wood cabinets — sans hardware for a minimal look — and a kitchen island, the flooring helps complete a Scandi-chic cook space.

8. Consider a combo of hardwood and patterned looks.

Who says you need to choose just one pattern? This look combines wood grain with a diamond pattern for a playful style. Combined with white kitchen cabinets and wood countertops, it also makes for a great farmhouse style kitchen with a twist (if that's your vibe).
