Granite Ideas for White Cabinets

White, Pink and Peachy

• Granite countertops that are predominantly white or have veins of peach or pink provide a soft complement to cabinetry. Nearly neutral, light granite colors allow for various color themes in the room and make updating the kitchen or bath easy as years go by. When you use white or very pale-colored granite you create a backdrop for nearly any of color of accessories and appliances.

Black and Gray

• A high-contrast choice, black or dark gray granite countertops add definition to a room filled with white cabinetry. Dark gray or black countertops hide fingerprints and smudges while creating a modern and clean look in a kitchen or bathroom. When you use dark granite countertops, your options for colored or specialty wall tile are wide open. Decorating themes in the room can range from subtle to bold depending on your choice of accessories, allowing your room to change with the seasons or your moods.

Blue and Green

• Although pricey compared to other colors, navy blue granite countertops complement white cabinets in a traditional space. Easy to accessorize with classic blue and white dishware, or bright white textiles, blue granite provides a pop of color while still maintaining some versatility. Lighter shades of blue are also be available and are a more serene choice for a spa-like bathroom. Green-toned granite is a common choice to complement white cabinetry. Light green stone creates a welcoming and organic feel in a room that you can accessorize with nearly any other color found in nature. Dark green granite will result in a more dramatic space that will add definition to white cabinets while limiting choices in accessory colors.

Red

• Red granite usually includes some lighter tones of pink or orange and provides a cheerful addition to a room with white cabinets. Soft and light-reflecting in a bathroom, the color variations will make a feminine impression on guests. Deep reds work effectively in a kitchen space and can lay the foundation for the use of darker red tones in appliances and accessories.
