We re about to embark on a kitchen remodel and as i m mulling over cabinets countertops and tile i m curious to ask about what to pick first. Floor covering or finish flooring is the surface that you see and walk on not the subfloor under the underlayment or underlayment between subfloor and finished layer. Installing tile under cabinets and around cabinets. I prefer to tile around cabinets but under appliances since cabinets typically are permanent installs where appliances come and go.

I know everyone has different priorities and tastes but i think i m leaning towards picking the countertop first in all likelihood granite and then matching the cabinets and tile to that.
