Cabinet and Worktop Coordination
When designing a kitchen, achieving a seamless coordination between your cabinets and kitchen worktops is crucial. At EGKW, we understand that the worktop you choose—be it elegant marble, versatile quartz, or robust granite—not only sets the tone of your kitchen but also reflects your personal taste and lifestyle. This guide is designed to help you navigate through the selection process, ensuring that your cabinetry perfectly complements the natural beauty and durability of our stone worktops. Whether you’re upgrading your current space or crafting a new kitchen from scratch, matching your cabinets with the ideal stone worktop can elevate the entire look of your home, turning the kitchen into a focal point of beauty and practicality.
Understanding Cabinet Styles
Choosing the right cabinet style is essential to setting the desired tone and functionality of your kitchen. Here are some popular styles, each offering unique aesthetic and functional benefits:
- Modern: Characterised by sleek, clean lines and often featuring handle-less doors, modern cabinets complement polished quartz or granite worktops for a contemporary look.
- Traditional: With ornate detailing and typically crafted from rich woods, traditional cabinets pair beautifully with classic marble or granite to create a timeless, inviting kitchen space.
- Shaker: Known for their simple, unadorned doors with recessed panels, shaker cabinets are versatile enough to match with any stone worktop, offering a blend of modern and traditional elements.
- Country: These cabinets evoke a rustic charm with their robust, often distressed finishes, making them ideal for pairing with the natural patterns found in granite.
- Cottage: Similar to country style but often painted in light colours or pastels, cottage-style cabinets work well with marble to create a bright, welcoming kitchen atmosphere.
- Craftsman: Characterised by sturdy construction with straight lines and minimal ornamentation, craftsman cabinets are a good match for robust granite or quartz worktops, enhancing a kitchen’s artisanal feel.
With this variety of cabinet styles, you can find the perfect match to complement the high-quality stone worktops offered by EGKW, ensuring your kitchen is as stylish as it is functional.

Matching Cabinets with Marble Worktops
Marble worktops bring a touch of luxury and timeless elegance to any kitchen. Their unique veining and soft colour palette make them an exquisite choice that needs thoughtful cabinet pairing to highlight their natural beauty. Here are some ideal cabinet styles and colours to complement marble worktops:
- White or Cream Cabinets: These light shades can brighten the kitchen while allowing the subtle hues of the marble to take centre stage, creating a seamless, airy feel.
- Charcoal or Black Cabinets: For a bold, striking contrast, dark cabinets can enhance the white and grey veining of the marble, offering a sophisticated, modern look.
- Wooden Cabinets: Natural wood tones, whether light like maple or dark like walnut, add warmth to the coolness of marble, providing a balanced, organic aesthetic.
- Navy or Deep Blue Cabinets: These colours bring a rich, luxurious depth to the kitchen, complementing the sophisticated vibe of marble without overpowering its natural patterns.
- Metallic Finishes: Incorporating cabinets with metallic accents such as gold or brass can elevate the opulence of marble, especially if the veining contains hints of these tones.
Choosing the right cabinet colours and styles not only enhances the functionality of your kitchen but also turns it into a visually stunning space that reflects your personal taste. With EGKW’s marble worktops, any of these combinations will help create a harmonious and stylish kitchen environment.
Coordinating Cabinets with Quartz Worktops
Quartz worktops offer versatility in design and colour, making them a popular choice for a variety of kitchen styles. Their engineered nature allows for a consistent pattern and colour, which can be paired effectively with numerous cabinet finishes. Here are some optimal cabinet styles and colours to match with quartz worktops:
- Glossy White Cabinets: These enhance the modern appeal of quartz by reflecting light and creating a clean, streamlined look.
- Grey Cabinets: A mid-tone grey complements the subtle details in quartz, bridging the gap between modern minimalism and traditional warmth.
- Espresso or Dark Wood Cabinets: Deep, rich browns anchor the light reflectivity of quartz and bring a luxurious, sophisticated feel to the kitchen.
- Soft Pastels: Gentle hues like pale blue, green, or pink can create a playful yet refined look when paired with neutral or lightly coloured quartz.
- Bold Contrasts: Consider strong colours such as navy or emerald green to make a statement against more neutral quartz shades, enhancing the visual dynamics of the space.
The key to selecting the right cabinets to complement your quartz worktop from EGKW is to consider the undertones in the quartz and the overall colour scheme of your kitchen. This ensures a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.

Choosing Cabinets for Granite Worktops
Granite worktops are celebrated for their striking natural patterns and robust durability. With a wide range of colours and unique grain patterns, granite can become the centrepiece of your kitchen. Choosing the right cabinet style and colour is crucial to enhance the natural appeal of granite worktops. Here are some recommendations:
- Classic Wood Cabinets: The warmth of wooden cabinets, especially in cherry, oak, or mahogany, complements the earthy tones found in many granite worktops. This combination can create a rich, inviting kitchen atmosphere.
- Antique White Cabinets: These provide a soft contrast to the boldness of granite, highlighting its natural beauty without overwhelming the space.
- Dark Cabinets: Black or deep brown cabinets can make the vivid colours and patterns in granite pop, offering a luxurious and contemporary look.
- Metallic Accents: Cabinets with metallic handles or features can add a modern touch, especially when paired with granite that has speckles of silver, gold, or reflective minerals.
- Vivid Colours: For a more adventurous approach, brightly coloured cabinets like cobalt blue or forest green can dramatise the natural patterns in granite, creating a unique and energetic kitchen design.
The versatility of granite allows for a broad range of cabinet pairings, each enhancing different aspects of the stone’s natural beauty. Careful selection can help you achieve a harmonious balance between the cabinets and the granite worktop, ensuring your kitchen is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Worktops and Cabinet Matching FAQS
What are the best cabinet colours to match with marble worktops?
Neutral colours like white or cream are ideal for highlighting the subtle beauty of marble. For a more dramatic look, consider darker shades such as charcoal or black, which can accentuate the marble’s veining.
How do I choose the right cabinet materials for my stone worktop?
Consider the overall durability and maintenance alongside the aesthetic. Solid wood cabinets are durable and can complement the longevity and robustness of stone worktops like granite and marble.
What are the best cabinet features to complement intricate granite patterns?
With intricate granite, consider cabinets with less ornamental features and smoother finishes. This helps the granite stand out without competing for attention, especially if the granite features vibrant colours or complex patterns.
