Beyond the Floor: Coordinating Cabinetry, Tile, and Flooring for Cohesive Design

A beautiful home doesn’t happen by accident — it’s the result of smart, coordinated choices. At Floor Source, we help homeowners across the St. Louis area think beyond the floor by aligning their cabinetry, tile, and flooring selections for a cohesive, inspired design.
Whether you’re renovating a kitchen in Ellisville or refreshing a bathroom in St. Charles, bringing all elements together under one vision ensures your space feels connected and complete.
Here’s how we help you create design harmony:

Start with a Color Palette: Choose two to three dominant tones that will flow through the space — think earthy neutrals, warm wood tones, or bold contrasts. Whether you’re designing a high-contrast black-and-white kitchen or a serene, nature-inspired bathroom, your palette sets the mood.
Coordinate Cabinets and Flooring: If you’re installing wood-look vinyl flooring, we’ll help you find cabinetry that complements the tone. Want contrast? Go dark on the cabinets and light on the floor, or vice versa. For cohesive designs, consider coordinating undertones (cool with cool, warm with warm).
Tile as a Bridge Element: Tile is the perfect design bridge between your floor and cabinetry. A backsplash or accent wall can pull in both tones and tie everything together. Want a pop of personality? Patterned or textured tiles offer bold design moments without overwhelming the space.
Focus on Texture: Mix matte and gloss finishes, natural wood grain and sleek quartz, or smooth tile and rough stone to create visual interest. When done thoughtfully, mixing textures adds depth and richness.
Think About Light: Natural light changes how colors and materials look. We always recommend viewing samples in your actual space, under your lighting conditions. Our team brings the showroom to you — so you can see it all, side-by-side, at home.
Stay True to Your Lifestyle: The best materials aren’t just pretty — they’re practical. Have kids or pets? We’ll help you choose waterproof vinyl that mimics hardwood. Love to cook? We’ll recommend backsplash tile that’s stylish and easy to clean.
At Floor Source, we believe every design decision should feel connected. That’s why we carry everything under one roof — flooring, tile, cabinetry, and vanities — and offer personalized guidance every step of the way.
