Quartz countertops are a great way to breathe new life into your kitchen. They’re lighter than other stone countertops and are manufactured in colors and patterns that you would never see in natural stone.
And while many people like their quartz to fit into a neutral color scheme, your kitchen can look however you want! If you want a bold, playful, trendy look for your kitchen, quartz countertops are a great way to achieve this.
One kitchen design trend that’s growing in popularity is bold cabinetry. Here’s how you can pair quartz countertops with brightly colored cabinets for a fresh look that’s all your own.
Thinking About Colors
If you want to bring bold colors into the kitchen, there’s lots to keep in mind. What’s the lighting like– do you get lots of natural light, or do you rely on your interior lighting in the kitchen? You also need to think about the mood and tone set by the colors themselves. Color plays a significant role in shaping the atmosphere of a room, and bold cabinet colors can evoke different emotions. Red cabinets offer a bright, cheery feel, bringing warmth and energy to the room. Blues, ranging from soft sky shades to deep navy tones, create a soothing, serene environment. Green tones, from earthy sage to vibrant emerald, provide a refreshing and energizing ambiance.
Pairing these vibrant cabinet colors with quartz countertops helps maintain balance. Light neutral tones in countertops like white, gray, or beige create a calming contrast, keeping the kitchen from feeling overwhelming. Darker quartz countertops can enhance dramatic cabinet colors, creating a sophisticated feel. Your fabricator can help you find the perfect quartz countertop to go with your planned cabinet color, and you can always compare paint and stone samples until you find the right match.
Choosing the Right Quartz Finish for Your Design
Quartz countertops come in a variety of finishes that complement bold cabinetry. Polished finishes reflect light, making spaces feel brighter and larger, a perfect choice when working with darker cabinet colors. Matte finishes offer a soft, modern touch that enhances kitchens with brighter or unconventional colors.
Quartz patterns can either blend into the background or make their own statement. Subtle veining or speckled designs pair beautifully with vibrant cabinets, creating visual interest without overpowering the space. For a daring approach, a bolder quartz pattern can add texture and dimension when matched with minimalist cabinetry.
Finishing Touches Bring It All Together
The right accents and fixtures help tie together bold cabinetry and quartz countertops. Brushed brass or matte black hardware offers a modern contrast, adding sophistication without drawing focus away from your design choices. Backsplashes with simple patterns or solid colors enhance cohesion, and lighting choices, like pendant fixtures or under-cabinet illumination, highlight the beauty of your countertops and cabinets.
By pairing bold cabinetry with quartz countertops that complement both color and finish, you can craft a kitchen space that is both stylish and functional.
