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.
