These two elements form the foundation or backdrop for the rest of the kitchen\u2019s design, acting as fundamental infrastructure for things like seating, appliances, and storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both cabinets and flooring serve a functional purpose within a kitchen, making them critical components of the layout. Cabinets are necessary for storage and organization, while flooring is needed to support all of the activity and foot traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond these basic functional reasons, cabinets and flooring also serve an aesthetic purpose and contribute in a major way to a kitchen\u2019s style, aesthetic, and tone. For instance, hardwood flooring can create a warm, inviting feel, while high-gloss cabinets tend to reflect a sleek and contemporary look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the way you combine your cabinets and flooring \u2013 in terms of color, material, and even shape \u2013 can greatly influence how cohesive the kitchen will look in its totality. Conversely, mismatched or poorly chosen cabinets and flooring can create an unappealing and disjointed look that detracts from the space\u2019s design aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, choosing a combination of cabinets and flooring that complement each other and establish a defined, synchronous foundation is key to a well-styled kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"721\" src=\"https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135756\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-the-secret-combo-1024x721.jpg\" alt=\"A flat lay of products used as a mood board with Weston Sand Shaker cabinets, white herringbone tile, and light walnut flooring.\" class=\"wp-image-5648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135756\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-the-secret-combo-1024x721.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135756\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-the-secret-combo-600x423.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135756\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-the-secret-combo-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135756\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-the-secret-combo-640x451.jpg 640w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135756\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-the-secret-combo.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/RTA-Kitchen-Cabinets\/weston-sand-shaker\/?cache=rep\">Weston Sand Shaker Cabinet<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Secret Behind Every Great Cabinet &amp; Flooring Combination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are in the midst of remodeling your kitchen or are starting on a new kitchen design from scratch, it can be pretty overwhelming to take stock of the hundreds and hundreds of cabinet and flooring options. Choosing the right combination is no simple task, but ordering samples ahead of time is your best bet for a successful pairing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ordering samples is the most foolproof way to make sure there is compatibility between your cabinets and flooring. If the flooring is already installed, it\u2019s a smart idea to order cabinet door samples and use them to determine the best color or material that will match the existing floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/sample-doors\/ \">Order Samples Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"721\" src=\"https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135843\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-full-size-door-samples-1024x721.jpg\" alt=\"Several sample cabinet doors laid out on the diagonal.\" class=\"wp-image-5649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135843\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-full-size-door-samples-1024x721.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135843\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-full-size-door-samples-600x423.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135843\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-full-size-door-samples-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135843\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-full-size-door-samples-640x451.jpg 640w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19135843\/RTA-How-to-Nail-Your-Kitchen-Design-Pairing-Cabinets-and-Flooring-full-size-door-samples.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Full-Size Cabinet Door Samples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We offer all RTA Cabinet customers the chance to order full-size cabinet door samples and receive fast and free shipping, so that you can see our products first-hand and make sure your choice is perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, you can take advantage of our samples discount: once you\u2019re ready to purchase one of our cabinets, you can credit your samples toward your order.
