Popular white kitchen cabinets gleam with pizzazz, do you agree? If you’re considering white to reface your existing kitchen cabinets, or for new cabinetry altogether, you are not alone in your color choice. From HGTV to Pinterest, editorial style guides feature white cabinetry that appeals to many individual preferences and tastes.
From traditional to contemporary, rustic farmhouse, shaker, or sleek and streamlined transitional looks, a kitchen anchored with versatile white cabinetry brings a crisp, fresh appeal to a range of design styles. Additionally, white enlarges the appearance of a space and helps reflect available light — all a plus in prep areas. Plus, aging eyes will appreciate the extra boost of brightness, especially in a kitchen workspace.
In case you’re not sure where to start, hiring reputable kitchen remodel contractors will ensure you get the kitchen that you've always dreamed of.

How do I match my countertop to white cabinets?
Deciding on warm or cool tones in your color palette is an essential first step. However, equally important is the overall look and feel that you want to achieve, as well as the functional preferences of your household, i.e., countertop maintenance, eco-friendly materials, seamless finishes, textural elements, heat and scratch resistance, etc.
Not surprisingly, budgets play a significant role in the type of countertop a homeowner chooses too. Laminate is an excellent countertop material, along with granite and quartz.. But, here is a simple style overview of how to choose the best countertop for your white kitchen cabinets:
- Decide on an overall design theme and choose a cabinet door style and color — whether refacing, getting new cabinetry or going custom.
- Select your color palette, and decide on warm or cool tones. This will make it easier to select the right countertop color and thoughtfully complement or contrast your design.
- Then finalize budget options, and choose a countertop material based on the performance that best suits your personal use and needs. A mix of countertops is also a sought-after design option to consider.
What kind of countertop goes with white cabinets?
1. Go for granite countertops

2. Consider high-end laminate
