✨ How to Match Your Countertop with Cabinets and Backsplash

When it comes to creating a beautiful and cohesive kitchen design, few things make a bigger impact than the combination of countertops, cabinets, and backsplash. At AJ Infinity Stone in Indianapolis, we help homeowners choose the perfect countertop and provide professional backsplash tile installation to complete the look. Whether you’re starting a full remodel or just updating surfaces, finding the right balance of color, texture, and tone can completely transform your space.

🪨 1. Start with Your Countertop as the Foundation

Your countertop sets the tone for the entire kitchen. Materials like granite, quartz, and marble each bring their own character and level of durability. AJ Infinity Stone offers a wide selection of in-stock countertops, from timeless Calacatta quartz to natural Black Pearl granite, making it easy to find a look that fits your style and budget. Once you’ve chosen your countertop, you can build your design around it.

🎨 2. Coordinate Cabinet Colors and Finishes

Your cabinets should complement your countertop, not compete with it. If your countertop features strong veining or bold patterns, consider cabinets in neutral or solid tones such as white, gray, or espresso. On the other hand, if you have a more subtle stone, you can make a statement with two-tone cabinets or darker finishes. Always bring a sample of your countertop material when choosing cabinet colors so you can see how they work together under your lighting.

🧱 3. Add Personality with the Right Backsplash

A backsplash ties the whole look together while protecting your walls from splashes and spills. AJ Infinity Stone not only supplies countertops but also offers expert backsplash tile installation to complete your kitchen or bathroom project. Choose materials that enhance your countertop:

• 🧿 Subway tile for a classic, clean finish

• 🎭 Mosaic tile to add texture and visual interest

• 🌿 Natural stone backsplash for a seamless flow with your granite or quartz

For example, a white quartz countertop looks stunning with a soft gray subway tile, while a darker granite pairs beautifully with a lighter, glossy backsplash.

💡 4. Balance Texture and Lighting

Think beyond color. The finish of your surfaces matters just as much. Polished countertops reflect light and create a sleek, modern look, while honed or matte finishes bring warmth and texture. Pairing glossy cabinets with a matte backsplash or vice versa creates contrast that adds depth and dimension to your design.

🧽 5. Don’t Forget Practicality

It’s easy to get lost in aesthetics, but functionality should guide your choices too. Consider how easy each surface is to clean and maintain. Quartz countertops are non-porous and low-maintenance, while granite offers unmatched natural beauty and heat resistance. Pairing these with a tile backsplash that’s easy to wipe down makes your kitchen as practical as it is stylish.
