What Countertop Colours Match Best With Cabinetry?
All of them!
There is a reason why white kitchens remain on trend with interior designers and homeowners. White is easy to combine with any colour while simultaneously conveying positive emotions.
Deciding on a predominantly white kitchen with our customised joinery and cabinetry opens up your space to endless interior decoration possibilities.
Below are the top countertop colour selections that will suit your white kitchen cabinetry, depending on the style and feel you are going for.
White
This may seem like a safe, obvious choice, but white countertops look great with white cabinets. Choosing a predominantly or entirely white kitchen will make your space look larger and brighter simply because white reflects light so well, even in the smallest kitchens.
Don’t worry about whitewashing your kitchen aesthetic. Think of it more as streamlining your space. White is the ultimate neutral colour, meaning you can display knick-knacks and decor of any colour, enhancing your space.
And since white countertops are easy to customise, you will have no problem matching your floor, splashback and wall colours to create your dream kitchen design. Yes, white will always show marks and stains more easily, but this will not be an issue if you regularly clean your kitchen.
You can’t go past white countertops if you want a bright, clean-looking space.
Black
Black countertops with white cabinets are a trend showing no signs of slowing down. The dramatic contrast of black and white is a timeless, elegant, practical combination.
Naturally, black countertops hide stains.
But this contrast is so popular in kitchen designs because of its striking look. It’s the perfect way to make a statement while maintaining a sophisticated, classic kitchen design. And depending on how you style it with kitchen appliances and decorative features, you can make your kitchen look traditional or modern.
If you are interested in more of a sleek design, black countertops may be the way to go.
Grey
Grey countertops are a great neutral colour choice to pair with white cabinets, as they bring a sophisticated look to your kitchen.
As there are many grey tones to choose from - light, medium or dark - you can find a grey colour that will enhance your kitchen design.
Light grey countertops complement white cabinets similarly to white countertops but offer a small amount of separation from your cabinets. Medium grey countertops take that separation further, with a more noticeable contrast between the white cabinets. And dark grey countertops are the perfect colour to choose if you want an eye-catching kitchen feature without going the noticeably more extreme black countertops.
If you want a classy kitchen style, then grey countertops are for you.
Wood
Wooden countertops can add a country-style warmth to your kitchen.
Combining wooden countertops with white cabinets will create a laidback, inviting space in your home and, like the other neutral countertop selections, can be styled with modern accents or rustic decor, depending on the vibe you are going for.
People lean more towards farmhouse-style vibes when designing and styling their homes, mainly because they want their homes to be a sanctuary. A place they can relax and wind down from their daily stresses.
And what could be more relaxing than a quiet, remote farm?
