One of the top trends for kitchen renovations is white cabinets. Look at any interior design themed social media account and you will be sure to see beautiful and modern white cabinets in every post. White does not need to just be a pure stark shade, but can also include slightly off-white shades like alabaster or eggshell. 

White is one of those shades that seems like it can go with anything, but this could be a curse not a blessing. Too many options can make kitchen redesigns extremely overwhelming. 

Our top pick for kitchen countertop material is granite, a naturally found stone that is stain, scratch and heat resistant. As a natural stone that could be quarried from multiple locations around the world, there are many designs to pick from.

With the seemingly endless possibilities of white cabinetry mixed with the many granite patterns available, it may seem impossible to pick a stone for your next kitchen remodel. Check out 25 granite swatches from our collection that could go great with white cabinets in almost any home decor style.

1. Absolute Black Select

This is a timeless sleek dark stone. The design of this stone is without patterning, and is simply a consistent black slab. This is an incredible, elegant stone that, mixed with white cabinetry, could be a great new addition to your home. 

This combination would look amazing in a multitude of styles, from more traditional and vintage styles to a polar opposite sleek modern design. Pair this with dark hardware on the cabinetry to help tie the two colors together even more. Black and white are total opposites, but a color scheme of the two are always in style. 

2. Alaska White

You don’t need lots of colors to make a statement with your kitchen’s stone features. Alaska White is monotone, with lots of grey, white and beige. These colors pair together to make a stunning stone that can pair with just about anything, but will especially look great next to white cabinetry. 

By pairing this stone with white cabinetry, you open the door to adding decor of just about any shade. For example, a purple pop will look fantastic next to these neutral stones and cabinetry. The same could be said for teal, navy, even more unique shades like pink. 

3. Altair

Want to make a statement? Consider this stone, which features bold veining of gold running through a black background. This is not a subtle stone, your guests will not miss the thick, snakelike veining, especially when paired with white cabinetry. 

With white cabinets, the very minimal white detailing within the gold will come to play, making the “metallic shine” of the veining even more apparent. This stone is not for the faint of heart. Combine this pairing with other gold elements in the room. This is your chance to go all in on a design!

4. Ambrosia White

You don’t need to go too extreme with your stone’s design to make a statement in your kitchen. Ambrosia White is an off-white stone with grey veining and small spotting of burgundy. This is a unique but versatile piece as it features both a neutral background but also hints of a statement color. 

Next to white cabinets, Ambrosia White will really shine. White does not need to just be a stark white but can also be an eggshell shade, with a hint of warmth. An off-white cabinet next to this stone will create a monochromatic atmosphere that still has lots of friendliness. 

5. Arcobaleno Blue

This stone has imagery similar to a gorgeous nebula under a telescope. It has mixes of purples, blues, greens, beiges and even some small elements of black. This multicolored beauty can easily scare the boldest of homeowners away, but fret not, as white cabinetry can be the perfect balancing act when paired with this unique stone. 

Like other multicolored stones, the individual elements of the stone can be brought out further with matching decor elements. We also recommend pairing the combination of white cabinets and Arcobaleno Blue with simple but unexpected wooden decor.

6. Aspen White

White is always sure to add exuberance and energy to a space. Aspen White features the simplicity of white, but with the unique addition of grey micro veining. This stone has multiple shades of grey and black on top of its white background. The stone is perfect for those looking for the simplicity of a white stone, but with a little something extra. 

White cabinetry next to a stone as gorgeous as Aspen White is the perfect combination. Don’t be afraid to bring out the colors of the stone even further with matching decor, or, alternatively, it can be paired with any color of the rainbow.
