The best color granite to go with birch cabinets is white, creating an organic and airy look that draws you in. The two colors complement each other and, together, brighten your kitchen or bathroom. Together these colors create a more minimalistic design, without either shade overpowering the space.
The lighter color of birch cabinets with white granite countertops can make a smaller kitchen look and feel roomier and larger than it is. You can add white granite with prominent veining, such as Azurite if solid colors aren’t your preference.
However, for a more dramatic look, black granite offers a high-contrast to the light appearance of natural birch cabinets, giving your space modern appeal. Black granite also typically has less veining than its lighter-colored counterparts, offering a subtle sparkle when the sunlight hits it.
Black granite is also an excellent option if you have dark-stained birch cabinets, such as garnet, sorrel, or toffee birch. The combination of dark shades gives your kitchen, laundry, or bathroom a refined aesthetic ideal for traditional or transitional homes.
