Cabinets often look bad with brown tile floors and green countertops because the floor’s undertones clash with cabinet colors, making the space feel disjointed. Harsh white cabinets, for example, fight against warm brown tile and amplify green in countertops, creating visual chaos. This mismatch can make cabinets seem outdated or out of place, even if they are high quality. Balancing undertones with a warm neutral palette helps the kitchen feel intentional and cohesive.
