Should a kitchen floor match worktops? Kitchen experts explain the pros and cons of a matchy-matchy look

Kitchen flooring.

When you’re planning a kitchen, it’s easy – and understandable – that you’d think about the style of units first right? They’re the main feature after all.

Both usually take up the majority of the surface area within a space, so carefully consider your choices, how they go together and how each looks against your cabinetry.

Whether a kitchen floor should match worktops is up for debate. Going for a matchy-matchy approach is of course an option and one that designers agree can work well in the right setting. But many of the experts we spoke to recommend choosing different but complementary designs to give more dimension to a room scheme, make it look more modern and to add a bit more personality.
