Cherry cabinets tend to read dark and heavy to me. I like cherry with lighter and simpler countertops, it's more updated IMO, like a white quartz with simple veining.

What color is your floor? I think cherry looks good with light (not white) creamy colors. Check out these bathrooms and kitchens to see if they give you some ideas. Although the wood cabinets are not cherry, they are close enough to a cherry color to help you visualize.

There are lots of posts about people who want to remove their dark countertops on dark cabinets and brighten up their kitchen. The most common time to post about dark kitchens seems to be February, not surprisingly.

If you like drama, have good eyesight, and have two or three times as much lighting as usual, dark cabinets and dark countertops may be a good choice for you.

I have cherry cabinetry with dark gray corian counters and it's dark. Doesn't help that the kitchen has no windows sitting between the dining room and a mudroom/garage/basement entry room. I have lights on all the time.

If there's a lot of sunlight and open space, dark could work.

The majority are replacing dark countertops lately, as others have mentioned.

Depends on the space & other factors. Photos please.

Our previous home had natural cherry cabinets and we used black galaxy granite. I absolutely loved the copper flecks in the granite when viewed close up and it went beautifully with the cherry (I used an antiqued black pull on the cabinet doors and drawers).

IMo without seeing the space how would we know.
