Complement Your Cabinet With The Right Countertop

 

You’ve checked out our cabinets and found the ones that best suit your home. That’s the first step to creating the ideal cabinetry layout, so now it’s time to move on to the next step. You want to avoid contrasts that create an eyesore or don’t sit right with the style you’re making. QuickLOCK Cabinets helped you find the right cabinet for your home, so let us help you one more time with figuring out what countertop will work best.

 

Pure White 

Our Pure White cabinets provide a bright, clean look that complements your home. If you wanted to open up your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room, then these cabinets will do the job. Make your home look spacious and stylish with the right cabinet layout, featuring Pure White cabinets.

Regarding the countertop, you have several options to choose from to create the perfect blend.

If you’re aiming for a modern look that emphasizes brightening up the room, a white countertop will do the trick. A white quartz countertop will help brighten up your space and offer a sleek style.

On the other hand, for a sharp contrast that complements a bold look, consider a black granite countertop. The white cabinets will complement your home for a brighter look, while the black granite creates a bold, stand-out appearance.

If you’re looking for something in the middle, then pair the pure white cabinets with a butcher block for a modern and warm look.

Depending on the style of kitchen you’re trying to create, that will determine what kind of countertop you’ll need. If it’s a farmhouse kitchen, then the butcher block countertop might be your best bet. Modern kitchens will benefit from the white countertops to match the white cabinets. And for a modern yet bold kitchen, you’ll want to choose a black countertop.

 

Magnetic Gray 

This collection of cabinets offers a splash of color that isn’t too bright or too dull. It’s neutral, calm, yet beautiful in its own way. Our Magnetic Gray cabinets can be styled to suit various home designs, depending on the layout and countertop. Whether you’re working with a larger space or a smaller one, you want to create a fresh style that complements your cabinetry.

One of Magnetic Gray’s strong suits is its ability to work well with almost any kind of countertop. It’s just a matter of what type of home you’re looking to create.

A light granite countertop will help create a warm and inviting home, combining the cooler colors of the Magnetic Gray cabinets with a lighter touch of color for the countertop. With a light granite countertop, you could create a stylish and inviting home that fits modern homes.

Soft concrete countertops are another good option that pairs well with Magnetic Gray cabinets. Styles aren’t limited to one design, and with a soft concrete countertop, you can achieve that modern look with a contemporary aesthetic. Combine the cooler tones of the gray cabinets with a subtle texture from the smooth concrete countertop, and you’ve got yourself a sophisticated look.

If you’re interested in a sophisticated look that adds a touch of luxury, then you’ll want to pair our Magnetic Gray cabinets with a marble-look quartz countertop. The countertop mimics the marble-like appearance for visual appeal, while the gray countertops can help create an open and airy atmosphere.

 

Needlepoint Navy 

You’re looking at a refined aesthetic when it comes to the Needlepoint Navy cabinets. For those interested in a darker splash of color in their home, you want to find the right countertop to pair with it. The last thing that you want to do is pair it with a dark countertop, especially in smaller spaces. This can lead to an overwhelming and smaller space than you have.

Let’s start with a contrasting beauty. We’re talking about the Needlepoint Navy cabinets with a white quartz countertop. This pair creates a refreshing look that exudes sophistication and elegance. You’ve got the darker cabinets with a brighter, white countertop to frame it, giving you a special look that’s perfect for a kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room.

Then there’s option two: a walnut butcher block. This will work best for a kitchen, allowing you to create an elevated look of beauty. The walnut butcher block will complement the darker look of the cabinet for a refined aesthetic that will add some depth to your kitchen.

Another option for your needlepoint navy cabinets will be a subtle stone countertop. We’re talking about countertops with subtle veining and patterns, something like granite, marble-look quartz, or even quartzite. With a darker cabinet like Needlepoint Navy, a lighter countertop with tones of grays, white, or cream will contrast for a brighter, elegant space.

 

Espresso 

With Espresso cabinets, you want to avoid dark countertops to match unless you’ve got ample lighting to brighten the space. Dark cabinets with dark countertops will diminish the beauty of the space. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t countertops that will complement the cabinets and help your home look brighter and beautiful.

You want lighter colors when it comes to your countertop, allowing you to utilize darker cabinets that elegantly contrast with the brighter countertop. It appeals to those interested in elegant and refined settings, whether it’s a bathroom or kitchen.

Pair it with marble or soft white quartz countertops to elevate the beauty of your space. The dark espresso will help hide the sight of dust from daily use, while the whiter countertops add a splash of color to complement your countertop setup.

Light concrete countertops are another excellent way to blend the light and dark for something stylish and create a striking visual appeal. If it’s a contemporary setup that you’re looking for, the blend of the dark Espresso cabinets and light concrete countertops will do the job to brighten up your space.

 

Provincial Stain 

Now we’re getting into the natural grain of the wood. We’re talking about highlighting the natural beauty of the cabinets in some way, shape, or form. It doesn’t have to stand out, especially if you pair it with the right stain or paint. The Provincial Stain cabinets offer an elegant look, combining the rich color of the stain with the subtle tone of the wood. So now it’s just a matter of deciding what kind of countertop will best complement this elegant cabinet.

For starters, you could pair your Provincial Stain cabinets with a creamy granite countertop, creating a warm and inviting space, whether it’s a kitchen or laundry room. This kind of combination is usually seen in traditional or transitional designs, with the granite adding a splash of brightness and elegance to go well with the Provincial Stain cabinets.

Another good option is quartzite. A muted quartzite design will help make your space warm and inviting by blending the rich color of the cabinet with a subtle yet elegant look from the quartzite. You want a countertop that complements the rich Provincial Stain without overwhelming it, so it’s a subtle contrast that you’re looking for. With muted quartzite countertops, you’re getting calming, neutral color palettes and veining to seamlessly integrate with the rich wooden charm of the Provincial Stain cabinet

A third good option for your provincial stain cabinets is a neutral slab countertop. Now with this kind of countertop, you can get a little more creative, depending on the style and aesthetic that you’re interested in. Choose a white slab countertop for a brighter contrast to the rich wood for a clean and refreshing aesthetic. An ivory countertop can add a sophisticated look to a space. There’s also a beige countertop if you’re interested in a warmer, earthy tone to complement the wood of your Provincial Stain cabinets.

 

Rustic Hickory 

Looking at a natural touch for your cabinets? You made the right choice when you chose the Rustic Hickory cabinets, but now it’s time to pair them with the right countertop. Unlike some of our other cabinets, when it comes to Rustic Hickory, you want something that will complement the cabinet and bring out the charm of the wooden grain.

Let’s start with textured stone countertops for those interested in a natural design to complement the Rustic Hickory. The cabinets provide a natural look that highlights the wooden grain, while a textured stone countertop adds earthy tones and unique textures. You have a few options, depending on what might suit your interests. A granite stone countertop offers unique veining and patterns for a stylish look. Or quartz countertops for those interested in a modern look that mimics a natural stone appearance.

Another good option is matte quartz for your Rustic Hickory cabinets. With a variety of matte quartz countertop colors to choose from, you can find the right fit for your kitchen. Earthy tones like brown, tan, or gold-toned quartz will help create a warm and cohesive look. Or if you want something with a striking contrast for a bolder, modern look, then check out black or white quartz.

If you want to lean into the countryside charm of Rustic Hickory, then pair it with a butcher block. You can highlight the natural wood with the combination of the wooden grain patterns on the cabinets and the matching design of the countertop.

 

Raw Woods 

With our raw collection, it’s a matter of figuring out what you’re creating. The countertops will depend on the type of paint, stain, or varnish you apply to the cabinets. But that doesn’t mean you have to fly blind without a starting point.

For Raw Maple, lighter countertops might be a good combination for the cabinets. Create modern styles or traditional aesthetics and see what works best for you.

Raw Cherry, because of its rich red color, might work best with muted stone countertops. We’re talking about warm undertones — taupe, soft goldstone, or cream — and subtle movements to complement the cherry wood. You want something to complement the cabinet color, not overwhelm or create high contrast to clash with the cabinet.

Raw Hickory follows the same patterns as Rustic. You’re working with natural wooden grain designs on each cabinet, so pair it with natural and earthy surfaces and tones for a warm and inviting aesthetic.
