Kitchen cabinet and countertop color

13 years ago

I need help selecting a cabinet and granite countertop color for a new house. The photo shows the cabinet and countertop colors. The house is in South Florida, so I want a contemporary/tropical theme. I leaning towards the cherry/cinammon color cabinet, and the lightest/whitest countertop. Which color combo do you suggest that will stand the test of time?

Personally, I don't think the cherry is right for a south Florida contemporary theme. The lighter the better as dark brings warmth into a home. With the lightest cabinet, you could use either the black or one of the lighter granites. Any of the above options will stand the test of time as they are quality. Good luck!

I prefer the light maple cabinets. They coordinate well with a dark or light countertop. Do a houzz search for "maple cabinets" and you will see great examples of how versatile the light wood is. The red/cherry finish seems more limiting in terms of color choices for walls and accessories. https://www.houzz.com/photos/2828-greenwich-unit-kitchen-contemporary-kitchen-san-francisco-phvw-vp~89567
