Countertop Colors That Match Hickory Cabinets
Strong and durable, hickory cabinets have a beautifully distinct appearance. They come in colors that range from cream to deep reddish browns and have a strong grain pattern, which gives them a rustic, natural charm. Adding to that charm is the appearance of knots and mineral streaks, which give hickory cabinets their unique character. It is no wonder that they are such a popular option for homeowners designing gorgeous, stylish kitchens. Not only are hickory cabinets attractive, but as a durable hardwood, hickory can stand up to a lot of punishment, resisting dents and scratches as well as moisture damage. Hickory is one of the hardest, strongest woods available, which means that hickory cabinets are likely to outlast many other types of cabinets you could choose. With regular cleaning and occasional oiling, they will look beautiful for years to come and may darken over time, developing a deeper beauty that adds to their timeless appeal.
What Color Countertops Go with Hickory Cabinets?
Because they have such a rich look, with gorgeous coloring and wood grain that can vary between cabinets, hickory cabinets work best with solid-colored countertops. If you do desire a countertop with its unique appearance, make sure the surface has minimal features and accents so that your kitchen doesn’t have a jarring busy look that can detract from the beauty of both the cabinets and the countertops. Which colors and materials work best? This is largely a matter of personal preference, but following a few guidelines can help ensure a cohesive look. Here, we offer some suggestions for countertops to go with your hickory cabinets.
Choosing a Color Scheme
The color palette you choose will factor into the choice of countertops. The good news is that many different colors go beautifully with hickory. Classic black and white are a gorgeous foil for the warmth of hickory, while soft colors like blue and green help create a calming, cozy ambiance. Warm neutral hues make the kitchen feel welcoming, and natural stone is the perfect choice to bring out the natural beauty of the wood.
Marble Adds a Timeless Quality to Any Kitchen
Marble has a classic, elegant appeal that never goes out of style. This timeless option for countertops makes the kitchen feel sophisticated and can be a wonderful way to elevate the simplicity of your hickory cabinetry. Because marble is a natural stone, the slabs vary in coloration and design, so it is easy to find marble countertops that appeal to you aesthetically. If you decide on marble, choose a slab that is not too heavily veined, to avoid detracting from the cabinets. Is marble the right choice for you? It depends on how much money and effort you want to invest. Marble can be expensive, and polished marble is easily damaged. Consider honed marble, for a material less likely to be scratched with daily use, or isolate your marble countertop to just a portion of your kitchen.
Wisely Chosen Granite Can Be a Beautiful Choice
Why do we specify wisely chosen? Granite can have bold patterns and veins, so it takes a renovator with a good eye for design to choose a slab that works well with your hickory cabinets. Many people choose granite, no matter what kind of cabinetry they install because it is heat resistant and can stand up to many years of hard use. The right piece of granite is a wonderful choice for creating a harmonious balance with the hickory cabinets in your kitchen.
Quartz Countertops Easily Complement Hickory Cabinets
Quartz, a synthetic, stone-like material, comes in solid options as well as variations that look like natural stone. This gives homeowners a wide range of options and makes it easy to find quartz that matches hickory cabinets. Quartz slabs are affordable, do not require sealant, and are a low-maintenance option. The surface of a quartz countertop is non-porous and stain-resistant, and it is also smooth and easy to clean. Because of its low porosity, quartz is naturally resistant not only to stains but also to bacterial intrusion.
