Pairing Cherry Cabinets: Top Quartz Colors to Consider

Countertops Kitchen Design and Style

So, you've chosen those sumptuous cherry cabinets, and it's time to match them with the perfect hue for your home. While it's tempting to think any quartz shade would flawlessly complement cherry, it's a bit more nuanced than that.

For instance, your lighting choices and accent colors will have an impact, so make sure to highlight the cherry finish and quartz's best features. Here are things you should consider, and if you're feeling uncertain, don't hesitate to consult a custom cabinet expert before finalizing your choice.

Lighting affects color combinations

Natural lighting plays nicely with the honey tones found in most cherry finishes. You can choose light or dark quartz patterns but you'll want to stay away from samples that don't have warm tones in them. Have a darker kitchen? Look for patterns with lighter accents.

Regardless, bright whites and dull browns won't look their best with cherry. You want to select quartz accents with warm tones.

For example: Compare Cygnus-Pearl Zodiac and the Cloud-White Zodiac samples. They're both light colored. But you can see that Cygnus-Pearl has warmer tones, which would work better with cherry than the brighter Cloud-white.

If you prefer a darker pattern, compare the Parys Cambria with the Nottingham Cambria. We would probably choose Nottingham because there are more distinct cherry overtones present in the pattern.

Keep accent colors in mind

The great thing about quartz is that the natural minerals add their own color inflections to the patterns. This means it's usually easy to find samples that work with both your kitchen cabinets and your paint selections.

Make sure you have your paint swatch with you - the bigger the better - at the time of your consultation so that you can make sure it will blend with your preferred quartz selection.

Many times, two quartz samples will seem fairly similar. Or you might think that both your favorites will match your cherry cabinets. But once you hold up your paint samples, one of the kitchen countertop samples will probably "pop".

For example: Imagine you had good old Navajo White paint, would you go with Warm Taupe or Moroccan Morning? Actually, they would both work but we'd go with Moroccan Morning. It is a perfect stepping stone from the lighter paint color to the darker cherry cabinet tones.
