Kitchen - Oak overload?

We are designing our new kitchen. We have solid oak doors throughout the house. For our open plan kitchen/dining room were thinking of having the cupboards light and white with oak worktops and oak floorboards so it's nice and bright and co-ordinated.

Will this look nice, or is it too much oak? If anyone has similar I'd love to see photos.

I read "overlord" and then giggled at my mistake.

I can't comment without example pics, but I do appreciate a coherence when it comes to wood. The last house I lived in had 7 different types of wood and it drove me batty. Current house has two and I'm pleased.

I'm looking for pics online and can't find any that look like what's in my head. I'm hoping someone on here has similar and can show me!

Googling white kitchen oak worktop brings up plenty of images but none with oak internal doors. It looks nice if a little safe. You need a little colour in there too.
I'd be careful of overcoordinating, some of the photos have the worktops and floor so similar is looks like worktop has been used on the floor too!

Thanks I was wording it badly I think. Yes something like this? Maybe add a little colour with the tiles. The door to the hallway and the utility room are both solid oak too. Is it too much? Other option would be match the floors to the doors and maybe have white worktops. Ah I'm not sure! I just want it to be bright and airy. Lots of white and wood and a few plants.
