Brown Wood

What colors go with med brown wood cabinets?
I would love to have to re-face them but that’s not in the budget especially since they are really in great shape-just not my favorite color.. My cabinets are a medium brown showing lots of wood grain. kitchen/dining & living room is one big space. I want wood flooring but what color and will that be too much wood? What about countertops and wall color?
any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I’d get this question all the time while customers with wood floors were trying to choose cabinets. If you are doing wood floors and wood cabinets, I prefer two different shades of wood to break it up. Perhaps pick up a lighter (or darker) color from grain in the existing cabinets and use that shade for your flooring. If you use all the same color tone it will be monotonous, and it’s likely not to match. Also keep in mind that the wood will change color over time, especially cherry which makes matching it all the more impossible. Most woods get darker and/or at least warmer. Have you thought about painting the cabinets? A warm white (even add a brown glaze) would look great with wood floors and white never goes out of style. You may even be able to do it yourself. Be sure to get all the finish off. If your cabinets have a lot of wood grain, they may be oak and the glaze would settle into the graining and look really nice. That’s what I would do if they were in great condition. One other thing, if you think you may be replacing your cabinets eventually, then pick the floor you like best rather than only trying to match or coordinate it with your existing cabinets, you’ll be living with it a long time and visually it’s a big part of your home, you want to love it. Hope this helps, good luck with it.
