How to Match Your Countertop with Cabinets, Floors, and Backsplash
Step 1: Start with Your Countertop
Your countertop is often the centerpiece of the kitchen, so it’s a smart place to start.
Neutral quartz slabs (like white, beige, or soft gray) pair well with nearly any cabinet color.
Bold, veined stone makes a statement and works best when surrounding elements are more subtle.
Dark countertops create contrast in light kitchens, while light countertops open up smaller spaces.
Step 3: Coordinate with Flooring
Your floors set the foundation for the kitchen’s color palette.
With wood flooring, go for a countertop that doesn’t mimic the same grain or shade—contrast is key.
With tile or stone floors, choose countertops that pick up one or two subtle accent colors for balance.
With dark flooring, lighter countertops brighten the space and prevent it from feeling too heavy.
Step 2: Pair with Cabinets
Cabinets make up the bulk of your kitchen’s surface area, so they need to work in harmony with your countertops.
Light countertops + dark cabinets → modern, high-contrast style.
Dark countertops + white cabinets → timeless and classic.
Wood-tone cabinets → pair beautifully with white, cream, or gray quartz for a natural look.
👉 Pro Tip: Always bring a stone sample when selecting cabinet finishes to avoid clashing tones.

Step 4: Don’t Forget the Backsplash
The backsplash is the bridge that ties your cabinets and countertops together.
With patterned stone countertops, keep the backsplash simple (subway tile, neutral tones).
With solid-colored quartz, you can play with bolder backsplash textures or patterns.
Matching backsplash and countertop stone creates a sleek, modern look.
