Beautiful white kitchen cabinets not only augment the natural light entering the room they create the illusion of having more space. However, your countertops are equally important in adding beauty to your kitchen. This is why matching the countertops to the cabinets is so important. Whether you choose a light color countertop or a dark grey countertop, matching them to the white kitchen cabinets creates a beautiful appearance to the kitchen as a whole.
Before you get started on choosing the countertops, you will need to make the important decision of whether to blend the color to the cabinets or contrast them. Each has its own attributes that need to be considered. Using neutral colors for your countertops will compliment while darker colors will contrast and make the white color stand out.
Best Countertops that Compliment White Cabinets
There are a few great choices out there that combine or contrast perfectly with white kitchen cabinets. What follows are some of the best selections on the market today.
Corian
This is a highly durable material made from alumina trihydrate and acrylic polymer. It’s less expensive compared to granite or marble and contrasts well with white kitchen cabinets when you choose a tan or light brown coloring. This material also works quite well under natural lighting.
Granite
This is a great choice, if an expensive one, to pair with you white kitchen cabinets. This natural material is quite dense, durable, and contrasts well when you choose a black or dark-grey coloring. Granite is also heat-resistant which is nice, but also is quite heavy which means reinforcement may be needed to support the weight.
Marble
This is a classic choice with white cabinets as the color scheme blends so well. White or light gray marble is a great choice. Plus, marble is durable and holds up over time. However, marble can be expensive and does not work well if you are looking for a modern appearance to your kitchen.
Quartz
A simple style quartz countertop offers an excellent alternative to the more expensive marble and granite countertops. It’s strong and durable, although not as heat resistant compared to granite. What makes quartz a great choice is that you can choose light colors to compliment or dark colors to contrast with your white cabinets. A light color countertop still retains the natural stone appearance that makes quartz so desirable.
Whether you choose a simple style quartz countertop, laminate countertop, or go with natural stone such as marble or granite, the color and style of the countertops you choose should either blend or contrast with your white kitchen cabinets.
Wood
Natural wood compliments white cabinets quite well and offers a pleasing, old-fashioned look to you kitchen. While wood is quite beautiful, it does require more maintenance and does not last as long compared to the stone countertops available.
Whether you choose a laminate countertop, simple style quartz countertop, or stone countertop, there are plenty of great choices available. The key is to choose whether you want to compliment the white kitchen cabinets with a light color countertop or contrast with a black or dark grey countertop.
