6 Tips on Matching Your Kitchen Cabinets and Countertops

Every homeowner has a different style, and those styles show when they start picking out the finishes for their kitchen remodels. Choosing a kitchen cabinet that goes well with countertops can be difficult, but we want to help make your decision a little easier at Norfolk Kitchen & Bath by asking these six questions!

Do you have a color palette in mind? Sometimes we go into designing our home not knowing exactly what we want, but knowing what colors we like can be the first big step! Are you looking for light and airy, or maybe dark and cozy? Apps like Houzz are great tools which can help inspire your kitchen design.

Are you following a historical style or design? If you live in an older home and want to keep the charm of its original design, some countertops like quartz or granite might not be accurate to the time period your home was built. Simplifying your options in this case might make your decision easier.

Have you considered the pros and cons of different countertop materials? Depending on your needs, you might decide a specific style of countertop might or might not work for your lifestyle. For example, marble is more likely to stain while quartz needs little to no maintenance. Choosing your material might also dictate your options for colors and patterns.

Is your floor already picked out? This is especially important if your flooring has been previously decided, because different cabinet stains can clash with your flooring. If that is the case, be sure to keep your flooring in mind as you browse for kitchen cabinets and counters.

Have you put samples side-by-side? Some people are more visual than others, and being able to put samples directly next to each other in your home can seriously help in the decision-making process.

Did you choose your cabinets first? It’s often suggested that because your cabinets will consume most of your kitchen remodel budget and visual space, you might want to decide your cabinets before making any other design selections.
