You wouldn’t pair a polka-dot shirt with camouflage pants, right? Or put metal chairs on a plush red rug? Some combinations just don’t work great together. But if you put a stainless-steel refrigerator next to a quartz countertop with grey veins flowing through it, the two will bring out the best in each other and are easy to include as part of the overall kitchen design.
So, how do you match quartz countertops with appliances?
You want them to complement, and not compete, with each other. Whatever style you are going for, whether it is modern, country, rustic, or classic, the pieces need to work together to create the mood you want. Choosing colors and patterns that correlate will give your kitchen harmony.
Stick with the type of material and color you pick for one appliance throughout your kitchen. Unless using different colors works with the overall design of your kitchen, picking a different color for each appliance can present a disconnected feel.
So, What Goes Best with Quartz Countertops?
White is a popular base color for kitchens right now and because it is also a common base for quartz countertops, it is a great choice for appliances. The veins or flecks of color in your quartz will not conflict with white and you can choose your favorite color to use in accent pieces like vases, towels, or artwork.
Stainless steel is also a solid option because it works with a variety of kitchen designs. It can be found in the traditional silver color as well as black. If you have black as the base of your quartz countertop or a strong part of your slab, black stainless steel could look amazing in your kitchen.
So, How do Cabinets and Hardware Fit in?
Cabinets are an integral part of your kitchen. If you are going with white appliances to match white quartz countertops, you can finish the look with white cabinets and have a nice bright kitchen. Wood cabinets look amazing with stainless steel if that is your preference for appliances. But don’t be afraid to try colored or off-white cabinets next to your stainless steel.
Hardware could be the finishing touch to your kitchen design. There are so many styles to choose from that are not expensive and will make your room look amazing. You could have brass knobs or silver handles that are twisted in the middle.
If you are going for a black-and-white kitchen with black appliances and white cabinets, then you could use black knobs to connect the design. You can choose something special and fun that really stands out, or you can let the hardware blend into the cabinets and go with a matching color.
