Popular Design Trends: Pairing Countertops With Cabinet Colors
If you plan to renovate your kitchen and need some design ideas, you’ve come to the right place. The trends for countertops and cabinet colors have changed dramatically over the last few years, and now, we’re seeing bold colors rather than white or light-colored countertops and cabinets.
At Tile Superstore & more, we’ve pulled together the latest kitchen design trends so you can create a new and exciting kitchen by pairing your countertops with cabinet colors!
Let’s take a look at some fabulous examples.
Shaker Cabinets & Light Colors
Not quite ready to jump into bold colors in the kitchen? That’s okay! Shaker-style cabinets are still popular as they offer a timeless look.
Keeping your cabinets white can make your kitchen look open and breezy and really accentuate your lighting. Paired with a light-colored countertop, either in quartz or granite, you can create an elegant style in your kitchen. If you are feeling adventurous, you can opt for white cabinets and match them with a darker-colored countertop.
Because natural countertops are not all the same, you can stop into a showroom and check out the latest granite or quartz countertops that will go with your white cabinets.

Brooding Kitchen With Dark Colors
If you are ready for your kitchen to make a bold statement, consider choosing bold, dark colors. No matter which kind of cabinets you choose, you can have them painted in a dark color. Paired with a black granite countertop, your kitchen will stand out in the crowd.
Some colors you can choose for your new bold kitchen could include:
-
Navy blue
-
Forest green
-
Black
-
Deep brown
-
Deep or royal purple
The benefits of dark cabinetry and counters are they don’t look as dirty and can make your kitchen warm and inviting. If your kitchen has a lot of natural light, try going darker for your kitchen.
Nature-Inspired Colors
Love the look of nature and want to incorporate that into your kitchen? It’s a great idea!
Consider pairing your countertop with either a light-colored natural stone or butcher block with deep greens, browns, or beiges for your cabinets. The mixture of dark cabinets and light countertops will give your kitchen an earthy, charming look.
Pair these with white or light-colored subway tiles as a backsplash, and you’ll have a timeless, classic kitchen.
Don’t forget to incorporate hanging plants or other greenery to brighten up the space!

Two-Tones
Another popular trend is two-toned cabinets. For this style, you can choose any kind of natural stone countertop in whichever colors you choose.
From there, match a light color and a dark color from your countertops for paint. Paint your upper cabinets one color and the lower one the other color. Depending on preference, you can go dark up top and light down lower, or vice versa.
This style creates a beautiful statement kitchen and gives you a unique look that matches perfectly with your unique granite or quartz countertops.
Go Matte
Tired of the high-shine look in your kitchen? Go matte!
Pair your classically-colored countertop with a slight shine, either in light or dark colors, with matte paint that matches. This look is versatile because you can opt for dark or light cabinets, two-tones, or nature-inspired colors.
The only thing to remember is to choose the matte version of the paint color instead of glossy.
Black & White
Black and white kitchens are classic, and they’re popular for a reason. You can choose how much black and how much white to include, then choose your favorite bright color for a pop, whether through decorations or appliances.
Mix and match black and white in whatever way you choose to create a classical kitchen style.
