Countertops for maple kitchen cabinets10/10/2023 As maple tends to have little visible grain pattern, maple can work well with vivid woods like oak or cherry.Ĭontemporary combinations: Dark gold and rich tan cabinets also can work well with gray counters - especially concrete or a matte-finish quartz - for a more updated look. Select a wood or tile floor in the same gold or tan/brown family as the cabinets - but about two shades lighter or darker - to coordinate. Here are a few options to get you started.Ĭlassic combinations: Dark gold and rich tan cabinets work well with black or stainless steel appliances and dark countertops, such as black and dark green natural or engineered stone. These give you a ton of versatility in flooring, appliance and countertop combinations. Maple is a wood species, not a color, but it's most often associated with golden- or light- to mid-brown-toned stains. That's what we'll be looking at this time around in Sensible Style, using three of the most popular cabinet finishes as a starting point. A gray backsplash can work in some cases, but when selling, it may not have as wide appeal as the cream as the newer trends are towards creams and whites.Among the most commonly asked kitchen design questions are which colors and materials work best together. A green gray as in hemina's first pic can work for walls with cream backsplash - but might not go with the dining room. In general cream tile works well with warm toned cabinets, but not great with cool gray walls. You could do a wainscot like the dining room - but possibly not the style you want or perhaps not in the budget.įor some other possible ideas, here is my wood kitchens idea book with both new and older, refreshed kitchens.Īlthough most of these kitchen have warm toned cabinets, not all are similar to yours, so keep that in mind. ![]() I don't think you could do the charcoal without adding white in too and that would take some thought. The above kitchen works because of the amount of white that is also used - note the white wainscot and island. However, it is just wall paint and could be changed in both the dining room and kitchen to more neutral cream or lighter gray if it becomes an issue. The drawback is that I think the dark charcoal paint would not be the style of some buyers. This kitchen, though perhaps not your style uses some of your colors: Maple is the one warm wood that I have seen successfully made to work with cooler grays. I think the excellent responses here have ultimately expressed that paint can’t be picked unless someone sees the space physically and maybe the back splash isn’t all too bad. The project for this specific post was meant to really be “recommendations for paint colour and back splash for a kitchen with maple cabinets and black granite countertops”. I appreciate the feedback of getting someone in to look at the space so I might better be able to explain my goals. I purchased a house built in 1999 and I’m not expecting it to look like a new build house. The eclectic vibe of mixing old and new is something I enjoy in a space. My style IS traditional with a modern twist. I have a very clear perspective of what I want to accomplish and maybe I haven‘t done a great job of describing that. Nonetheless, I’d say many of the people following discussion boards on Houzz are on budgets that sometimes do require what might be considered haphazard. I don’t mean to be defensive but I disagree that my project is ”piecemeal” resulting in a ”style clash“. I personally would appreciate someone trying to modernize or do small upgrades prior to selling, even if they aren't to my exact taste. But the market is hot and quick here ( I know it isn't everywhere) with multiple offers and sales over asking price. ![]() ![]() In my limited experience purchasing, I knew I could see beyond the paint colours but big budget items like a kitchen or bath, I knew I could not update immediately and asked myself if I could live with what was there. When buying many of us have to accept that we can't fix things right away and we need to make a priority list of things to be done when there is budget available to do so. ![]() There are still plenty of people who buy "fixer-uppers" but I assume that those buyers have excess budget and many of us don't. I can't really speak for others, but here in Toronto, if you can afford to purchase a house, you likely don't have much money leftover to make changes to your new home. Herbflavor, I think your statement is a bit harsh, I think many buyers would prefer a turn-key purchase.
