Pick Your Focal Feature

Pair Colors That Work Together

Warm cabinets go well with warm countertops; cool tones with cool.

Try Bold Contrast

Dark cabinets with light counters or vice versa add striking visual interest.

Combine Textures Smartly

Matte cabinets with glossy counters—or rough stone with smooth wood—add richness.

Coordinate Patterns

Wood grains and marble veining should harmonize, not clash.

Test Samples Side by Side

Place cabinet and countertop samples together in your kitchen’s light.

Tie It All with a Backsplash

Choose a backsplash that pulls cabinet and counter colors together.

Coordinate Hardware Finishes

Match handles and faucets to your cabinet & counter style for a polished look.

Create a Balanced Kitchen

Mix color, texture, and pattern for a space that feels stylish, warm, and uniquely yours.
