LVP floors are a smart, stylish choice for today’s homes. With endless color and texture options, they offer the beauty of hardwood with more durability and less maintenance. But once you’ve chosen your perfect flooring, a big question remains:
How do you match your LVP floors with cabinets, wall colors, and trim for a cohesive look?
In this guide, we’ll walk you through expert tips on coordinating finishes, tones, and textures — so your home looks polished and professionally designed.
1. Understand the Undertones of Your LVP Floors
Before picking paint or cabinet colors, study the undertones of your LVP floors. Most fall into one of these categories:
-
Warm tones – golden, honey, red-brown, or beige
-
Cool tones – gray, ash, taupe, or driftwood
-
Neutral tones – balanced blends of gray and brown
Tip: Hold a white sheet of paper next to your flooring. This can help make undertones pop out clearly.
2. Coordinate Cabinets with Contrast
Matching cabinets exactly to your LVP floors can make your space feel flat. Instead, use contrast to create depth:
-
Warm LVP floors (like chestnut or caramel): Try white, cream, or olive-green cabinets.
-
Cool LVP floors (like gray oak): Pair with navy, charcoal, or soft blue cabinets.
-
Neutral floors: Almost anything works — but matte black or sage green is very trendy right now.
Bonus Tip: Two-tone cabinets (light uppers + dark lowers) pair beautifully with LVP floors.
3. Wall Colors That Work with LVP Floors
Wall colors should enhance — not overpower — your floors. Here’s how to get it right:
| LVP Floor Type | Recommended Wall Colors |
|---|---|
| Light oak or beige | Soft whites, sage green, pale blue |
| Gray or greige | Cool whites, dusty lavender, navy |
| Dark wood looks | Cream, warm white, tan, or blush |
Pro Move: Test samples on the wall next to the floor at different times of day.
4. Trim: Keep It Crisp and Classic
When in doubt, go white with trim. Clean white trim adds contrast, frames your flooring, and suits almost any style.
If you’re feeling bold:
-
Use greige or mushroom trim for a softer, earthy vibe
-
Try black trim with light LVP floors for a sleek modern edge
5. Use Samples and Mood Boards
LVP floors come in a wide range of finishes, so use physical samples or digital tools to create a design board. Include:
-
A flooring swatch
-
Cabinet sample or paint chip
-
Wall color card
-
Trim paint sample
Tools like Canva, Pinterest, or real wood/paint swatches from your local hardware store can help you visualize everything together.
Final Thoughts: Let Your LVP Floors Lead the Way
Choosing the right combination of floors, cabinets, walls, and trim doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Let your LVP floors set the tone, and use contrast, balance, and texture to guide the rest.
With a little planning, your space will feel beautifully intentional — and totally you.
