A white kitchen counter and island with white cabinets in a Springville, UT home.

There is nothing quite like a white kitchen. Crisp and clean, bright and fresh, white kitchens are classic, ever in fashion, and perfect for every aesthetic sensibility, providing a blank canvas to style however you desire. Whether you prefer minimalist, traditional, farmhouse, modern, or just about any other type of décor, white kitchens are here for it, making your space feel larger and brighter, no matter which direction you go. When you are designing your kitchen, you can choose to go with all-white surfaces, but that can be a little bit too stark. On the other hand, white cabinets create the same blank slate, the same fresh appeal, but in a subtler way. What countertops go best with white cabinets? There are some truly stunning options, and here, we offer a guide to help you choose the one that best fits your design scheme.

The Timeless Appeal of Natural Stone

When you choose natural stone countertops, you have a wide range of options from which to choose. Natural stone can elevate your room’s look, and because there are so many unique colors and patterns, and each type of natural stone has its own personality, it is easy to find the right option to reflect your style and complement your decor. What’s more, because natural stone is durable and versatile, you can be assured that it will last for many years, enhancing your enjoyment of your home.

Engineered Stone: Kitchen Workhorse

When you are choosing between countertop materials, engineered stone gives you an environmentally friendly, durable option. Made of crushed stone, bound with adhesive or resin into slab form. It is strong, easy to maintain, and resistant to heat, and stands up to stains, even serious stains like wine or coffee. You can find engineered stone countertops in a wide range of colors and styles, making it the perfect foil for your white cabinets.

Beautiful, Stain-Resistant Quartz

Quartz is extremely resistant to stains and bacterial intrusion, so it is perfect for germaphobes and anyone else for whom cleanliness is a top priority. Quartz countertops, in addition to being incredibly practical, low-maintenance, and easy to clean, are sleek and beautiful. Choose white quartz counters for a pristine, minimalist, all-white kitchen, or, for dramatic contrast, go with black quartz with your white cabinets.

The Elegant Luxury of Marble

Is there anything more beautiful and sophisticated than marble? It can be subtle or dramatic and comes in many different styles and colors. They can make a kitchen with white cabinets look opulent and upscale, or classic and understated.

Stainless Steel Gives a Crisp, Professional Look

They are an unusual choice for a home kitchen, more commonly seen in professional kitchens or restaurants. There is a reason for that: stainless steel cabinets are extremely durable and low maintenance. They tolerate heat, resist stains and bacteria, and can be kept in great condition with nothing further than regular cleanings. Additionally, their smooth, reflective surfaces make your space seem larger and brighter, by bouncing light around the kitchen. Pair this with white cabinets, and you have a bright, beautiful kitchen.

Granite: All-Around MVP

There is a reason why so many people love granite countertops. Not only is granite a beautiful natural stone, with different colors and patterns making each slab unique, but it is also surprisingly durable. It is heat-resistant, hard enough to resist scratches, and naturally stain-resistant. Additionally, just by sealing them once a year, homeowners can ensure that the granite countertops stay beautiful. It is easy to clean and maintain, and its density keeps out bacteria. What makes granite such a great option with white cabinets is that it provides a gorgeous contrast between cool, bright cabinetry and deeper-toned, organic, elegant granite.
