Your kitchen cabinets and countertops are both important components that make up the style of the room. Kitchen cabinets and countertops both have to offer functionality for an efficient kitchen, but also provide an opportunity to show off your unique taste! Whether you are interested in a contemporary or classic kitchen, we have style combinations to fit your wants and needs. With so many choices it can be easy to feel lost among variety, so we are here to help you decide! In this article we are sharing 5 kitchen cabinet countertop color combinations to boost the cohesion of your kitchen style!
Primary Colors
Primary colors will never go out of style! They can truly complement each other with a subtle dimension. An example of using two primary colors in your kitchen would be bringing a soft deep blue with a fun, lively red. Designers also explain brining in a third color as an accent can invoke a contemporary look, providing your kitchen with unique character. Need some color inspiration?

Quick Tip: When selecting primary colors such as red, green, or blue start with a simple color palette for cabinets and then a bolder color for your kitchen’s accent color.
Strong Contrasts
Modern kitchens often feature contrast such as black and white. White marble countertops fit beautifully with dark wood cabinets, illustrating a beautiful contrast. Many contemporary homes have lighter countertops with darker cabinets, or vice versa. Designers note that lighter colored cabinets can make your kitchen appear larger, which is an added bonus for many homeowners!
Quick tip: Your countertops are a focal point for your kitchen and so is your backsplash! Experts recommend selecting the same material or similar primary color for your kitchen backsplash.
Classic Neutrals
Traditional kitchens along with homeowners interested in achieving a farmhouse styled kitchen love neutral colors with subtle contrasts. Selecting light, slightly distressed cabinets with soft grey countertops are perfect for unlocking an effortless, adorable farmhouse kitchen look. Butcher Block or Granite countertops are ideal choices that fit this aesthetic as well!
Quick tip: There is still plenty of variety when it comes to neutral color selection! Commonly beige, grey, and charcoal are used together.
Matching Colors
Some homeowners prefer their cabinet color to match with the countertops, such as having dark brown cabinets with rich dark brown countertops. While many designers recommend utilizing contrast, it is also acceptable to choose matching colors that cater to your personal preference! Homeowners seeking a more cohesive kitchen style can also select light wood cabinets with brown granite countertops or a lighter brown wood countertop to add a bit of variety while still unlocking a matching aesthetic.
Quick tip: if you choose a countertop that has multiple colors like granite countertops, your kitchen’s accent color should match one of the colors in the countertops for design cohesion.
Bold Patterns
You can create a completely out of the box, innovative kitchen look by mixing bolder colors or patterns. An example of this aesthetic would be using an eye-catching pink marble countertop with dark green cabinets. This retro, contemporary look can also be achieved with colored quartz or granite countertops and a bold, bright cabinet color of your choosing.
Quick tip: Designers recommend selecting your countertop color or texture first, then basing your cabinets around that to make the process feel smoother and less overwhelming.
