The floor and walls are the same color, making the space more synchronized
In kitchen design, choosing colors for floors and walls is always an important step that directly affects the space feeling. Many homeowners wonder whether these two elements should be used in the same color tone to create uniformity or not.
According to Robert Ventolo - founder of furniture design firm Crain & Ventolo (USA) - using floors and walls of the same color can bring a harmonious appearance, especially suitable for small kitchens or open space designs.
He believes that this combination helps the space be more seamless visually, creating a feeling of spaciousness and neatness. Neutral colors such as cream white, beige, light gray or earth brown are often prioritized because they easily create softness and relaxation.
Helen Parker - Creative Director of deVOL Kitchens (UK) - said that a uniform color palette helps the kitchen create a feeling of tranquility, without any details overwhelming the vision. This is especially suitable for minimalist style or modern country kitchens.
Not every kitchen is suitable for the same color combination
Although it brings a harmonious effect, using the same floor and wall color is not always the optimal choice. Robert Ventolo believes that areas with high usage density or many decorative details sometimes need contrast to increase practicality and create accents.
For kitchens in a streamlined or maximized style, many experts recommend combining colors and patterns instead of being completely synchronized. Geometric tiles, patterned wallpaper or raised floors can help make the space more lively and personality-filled. The combination of different materials will create depth for the kitchen instead of just using one color throughout.
Interior experts believe that there is no fixed formula for coordinating kitchen floor and wall colors. The important thing is to choose a color palette that suits the area, lighting and lifestyle of the homeowner to create a space that is both beautiful and convenient.
