Matching Cabinet Doors to Worktops – Quartz, Laminate and Wood

Spread the love

When it comes to matching cabinet doors with worktops, think less “the same” and more “just right”. Choose one to be the main attraction (either doors or worktop) and have the other factor play a supporting role.

Quartz Worktops: Play it Cool or Drama? 

You will often see veins, flecks or movement in the quartz. Keep to simple door styles (shaker or slab), and avoid veined fronts. Light colours work well – warm white, soft grey, sage – as does deep navy if you get creative with the quartz. Choose an alternative colour for your pantry apart from what’s featured on your countertop. 

Laminate Worktops: Match-up Undertones For The “Staged” Feel

Everything from marble-look through to concrete or wood-effect laminates. The key is undertones:

Warm laminate (cream, beige, golden oak) – warm whites, greige, olive and natural wood doors.

Warm laminate (rosewood, caramel)  – pairs with warm greys, whites (cream) or tans.

Timber worktops: let the woodwork do the warming up.

Wood worktops give an instant homely feel, so doors don’t have to do all the talking. White, sage, soft grey and deep green all seem to get the job done. Wood doors: If you are using wood doors as well, try to keep one door lighter or darker so that it does not look like a sea of timber.

Pro tip: always look at samples next to each other in your kitchen. Lighting, daylight and warm lightbulbs can make all the difference.
