Getting a kitchen makeover can be a refreshing experience. Not only will you get a beautiful new kitchen to marvel at, but you will also add value to your home.
Furthermore, most homeowners get more enjoyment of their home with an improved kitchen.
So, if you’re considering upgrading your kitchen, two of the most visible parts of the kitchen, the countertops, and cabinets, should match well. But you may wonder how to match quartz countertops to your kitchen cabinets.
Keep reading to learn more about upgrading your kitchen, ensuring that your new quartz countertops look great with your cabinets.
Choose Your Quartz Countertops First
If you have the opportunity to revamp your entire kitchen from top to bottom, it is a good idea to start with the color of your countertops first. Choosing the color of your countertops will allow you to determine what color your cabinets should be.
Don’t Get Too Eclectic
You may love lots of colors and patterns. However, when choosing quartz countertops that match your cabinets, it’s best to try to tone it down a notch. Just because you love dizzying prints doesn’t mean it will look good juxtaposed with your cabinets.
Additionally, choosing eclectic patterns may make it hard for you to find a good match with your cabinets. So, when it comes to matching your cabinets with countertops, try to avoid bold colors and patterns.
Use Simple Colors
As with avoiding bold colors and patterns, it is also a good idea to keep it simple with the color schemes. For example, choosing a rust-colored quartz countertop may seem a good option. However, pairing it with a wood cabinet may not look so good.
Even if you can paint the wood cabinets, you may not find the right color to match the unusual color of the quartz countertops. Instead, stick with simple, neutral colors for your countertops to match them perfectly with your cabinets.
Keep In Mind Your Home’s Overall Style Theme
Another thing you may want to consider when choosing your quartz countertops is how they will fit into your overall decor. For example, do you have an assortment of styles in your home? Or are you married to one design such as modern, contemporary, or farmhouse?
Whatever theme you have in your kitchen or throughout your house, ensure you match your quartz to that theme.
For instance, a marble pattern or something with an unusual veining pattern may be ideal if you have a farmhouse design. In a modern kitchen, think minimalist and clean. Therefore, it may be a good idea to choose white quartz countertops.
Minimize Reliance on Trends
Just because green quartz countertops or rainbow quartz countertops may be in vogue today doesn’t mean they will be in the future. Countertops with bold colors and design patterns may look tacky once the trend wears off. Instead, stick with timeless colors such as white, beige, black, and gray.
Paint the Cabinets
Let’s suppose that you’re only doing a partial remodel in your home where you are only upgrading your countertops. If there is a quartz countertop color that you can’t live without, but the color doesn’t quite match your existing cabinets, consider changing the look of your cabinets.
Maybe you should paint them white, black, blue, or gray. Also, consider changing your cabinet’s hardware to give your kitchen a much more luxurious feel.
Samples of Pairings That Work Well
If you still can’t decide what to do with your kitchen makeover, consider these winning combinations of quartz countertops and cabinets.
A Wood and White Wonderland
When in doubt, natural wood and white quartz countertops pair well. This will make your kitchen look much bigger and brighter.
Twice the White
If you want a nice, sophisticated look for your kitchen, consider getting all white quartz and all white cabinets.
Light on Top, Dark on Bottom
If you don’t know what to do with your kitchen, you can start at the top with white and darken as you go down. For example, top cabinets and countertops can be white, while bottom cabinets can be a darker color such as gray, blue, or dark brown.
White, Off Gray, and White Sandwich
If you like the idea of an all-white kitchen but need a touch of color, consider creating a “sandwich” effect with your kitchen. First, keep your upper and lower cabinets all one color, such as white. Then, let the quartz countertops be another color, such as gray.
