I am a recent bachelor and am fixing up my home entirely. I really found out that I am terrible at it but am trying. The living, dining, kitchen and family room are all kind of connected in my two story home. I painted light neutral colors that look pretty good I think (bhr paint - desert rose and Day Spa are the color names). I just ordered really nice cabinets (I hope) that are called "shaker honey spice" which is a lighter oak. Should my new wood laminate floor be a bit darker than the cabinets? Can anyone suggest a good laminate or color that would be decent. I really dont like the darker woods but in between is ok.
Any help is appreciated as I am struggling with this whole decorating thing!!

Try to have your floors match your cabinets as close as possible. Try to avoid going with dark floors; they will attract every piece of lint within miles. ;-) A friend of mine has dark laminate floors and hates them. We have a honey colored (medium), same as our cabinets. Everyone comments on how nice they look together.You'll get better at knowing what goes together. I used to not be good at it either, but now.... could tell you in a minute. Good luck!

I would try and match it to your wooden cabinets. Try and stay away from anything too dark as dark laminate attracts and shows dirt quite a bit.
