Granite to Cabinets; Tips for an Amazing Kitchen
When upgrading a home or remodeling completely, it's important to select countertops and cabinetry that work cohesively together. While granite is one of the most desirable countertop choices, unlike tile it's easy to go wrong if you're not careful. The trick is to pay close attention to the wood's subtle hues and tones and pick countertops that either share those hues in common or contrast it without clashing. Below I have examples that show you three great options for each type of cabinet color.
A Colonial Cherry finish:

A dark Cherry finish is the most versatile color to work with when picking out a countertop. It works well with light, medium and even very dark tones. When paired with black it gives off a very modern and masculine feel, but when paired with lighter tones it creates an elegant contrast.

White Finish:

Because a black finish is already so dark, it works best with light to medium-light tones. The contrast creates a clean, sophisticated and contemporary look.

Select Red Oak with a natural finish:
Unfinished oak has its own unique beauty that comes from seeing the natural lines of the wood. It's got a very yellowish hue to it and for this reason works best with neutrals and warm colors. The idea is to select a granite that reminds you of nature and the great outdoors. The result is a rustic kitchen that has a very homey feel to it.

A vanilla glaze finish adds a fancy and elegant quality to cabinetry. It works best with granite that has subtle bluish tones to it, or multi-colored granite that has a nice blend of vanilla mixed with nutty tones so that it does not over-match.
