Renovating a kitchen can be an exciting process, but picking all of the right components may feel overwhelming. Generally, the starting point for many kitchen remodels is to select bigger fixtures first, like countertops and cabinetry, and then move onto smaller aspects. So, how should you match your countertops to your cabinets to create a cohesive and calming appearance in your kitchen? Start with these helpful tips:
Decide on a Color Palette
As a first step, choose the color palette you’d like to use in your kitchen. While neutrals are a timeless option for kitchens, it’s becoming popular to incorporate deep colors like navy or hunter green. Most design experts recommend keeping it simple by selecting one main color and two complementary accent colors.
Pick Your Countertop Material
You may not realize it, but different types of countertops offer different benefits. So, not only should you decide on the countertop design you’d like, but you should also pick the material that works best for your lifestyle. Based on the countertop color and material you select, you can then move onto the cabinets.
Choose Complementary Cabinets
Generally, it’s easier to match your cabinets to the countertops, rather than the other way around. If you’d prefer a more cohesive and low-maintenance kitchen look, select a cabinet color or stain that closely resembles your counters. For a dramatic, eye-catching appearance, make your cabinetry a secondary color that contrasts with your countertops.
