Ideas to stop colour clash with cream kitchen units and white floor

I've moved into a new build property that has a cream fitted kitchen with a white tiled floor. These two seem to clash and make the kitchen look cheap. I thought about getting the units resprayed but the respray will only do the doors and end panels and not the inside of the cabinets which are also cream so I think that might look weird. Any bright ideas?

white or cream gloss kitchen
Comments (12)Depending on the make of kitchen you choose, there may be a number of "white" available, ranging from a crystal "bright" white to the more yellowy end of white. It's always a good idea to try and take any door samples outside to view in natural light as studio/showroom lighting may alter the tone somewhat....See MoreWhat colour island with cream kitchen and black worktops?
Comments (10)Putting white or light grey on a kitchen floor is asking for martyrdom - fine if you're what Freud called a housewife psychotic; but if mopping your floor three times a day isn't your thing, go for a darker floor and get your reflected light from the vertical surfaces of the island. I would also be wary of white next to cream - call me old-fashioned, but it's one of the few combinations that simply jars. Have you considered having a bold and bright colour for the island as a counterpoint to all that tastefully restrained grey, black and cream?...See Moretiles or splashback to contrast with gloss cream kitchen units

Comments (16)Unless you particularly like the desaturated look of all greys, my instinct would be to go with a more natural shade of oak for the flooring. https://www.howdens.com/joinery/floors/flooring/vinyl-flooring/quick-step-livyn-single-plank-natural-oak-luxury-vinyl-flooring-2105m-pack-sdh3680 Possibly even this; https://www.howdens.com/joinery/floors/flooring/vinyl-flooring/quick-step-livyn-single-plank-dark-brown-oak-luxury-vinyl-flooring-2105m-pack-sdh3684 for more contrast. The shelves are fine in whitewash, painting them may make the room feel smaller. Its better to let your items on display be the focus, than the shelves themselves. The darker bifold look more modern, and add extra dimension to the space. Depending on where the other window is, and how out of place it may look from the outside, you could replace it to go with the doors, or have the internal frame painted to match....See MoreMatt
