My designer told me that the stain colors have to contrast. The woods
do not have to be different, though.

they don't HAVE to do anything. they can do whatever you like. if it's not a
rental, design the house for yourself, not the next owner.

My new kitchen has medium honey-colored maple cabinets and oak floors
with a Minwax stain color called Provincial.

Hope this helps.

im about to remodel my kitchen. i want to get a golden oak floor,
golden oak cabinets and a dark solid surface counter top with
stainless
steel appliances. can you put the same color oak cabinets and floor
in
a kitchen, or will it look bad. i was told to have a contrast between
the floor and cabinets. i also have a oak kitchen table and chairs. i
really dont know how to contrast the cabinets vs the floor. do i need
darker oak cabinets or different woods all together?
