Granite Colors That Will Match With Oak Cabinets Perfectly

Do you have a love/hate relationship with your kitchen? Are there aspects you love and others you can’t wait to change? 

How about your bathroom? Does it need a little zhoosh?

If you love your quality, oak cabinets but need a kitchen update, we can help! By adding the right granite colors, your kitchen can get the refresh it needs!

Maybe you’re adding new oak cabinets and looking for complementary granite colors. Let’s take a look at different colors of granite to find your best options.

Colonial White Granite

For the Kitchen

The white counter kitchen trend isn’t going anywhere. Don’t let existing oak cabinetry keep you away from enjoying this in your kitchen!

Colonial white granite will brighten up your space considerably without clashing with oak cabinets. The bright wood colors of oak pair quite well with the brightness of colonial white countertops. 

Whether your flooring is neutral tile or darker wood, colonial white will bring the bright trend without an entire kitchen rehaul.

Try some brushed nickel hardware and fixtures to continue the light trend! To further your white trend experience, you could dabble with some white subway tile backsplash! Joanna Gaines would be so proud!

For the Bathroom

Colonial white will freshen up that oak vanity in your bathroom as well! Since other essential elements of your bathroom are likely white (ahem…the toilet…), colonial white is a great match!

Bring it a step further and put subway tiles in the shower. Bright potty, bright shower, and bright countertops are a great way to brighten up that bathroom!

Aspen White Granite

Moving more towards lighter neutral, the aspen white granite will freshen up your kitchen! Though there are many tones present in this selection, three main shades will catch your eye.

For the Kitchen

White, grey, and black. The spread of this trifecta is sure to bring out the lighter shades of your oak cabinets! Consider adding some bright brushed nickel hardware or fixtures to further brighten the mood in your kitchen!

Already love your black fixtures? The versatility provided by the trifecta of aspen white will jive just fine with darker accents as well.

No need to go out and buy all new appliances with these countertops. The trifecta found in aspen white granite will tie any appliance option together with your oak cabinets.

For the Bathroom

Consider hanging an accent piece with a thin black frame, like a mirror or unique artwork. If you have a shower or tub, spring for a black curtain rod with matching roller hooks. 

Absolute Cream Granite

Absolute cream granite is an absolute dream with oak cabinetry. This option provides you with an eye-catching contrast of dark v. light.

The “cream” side of this granite ties nicely into the wooden tones of oak. The cream color pallet also makes coordinating with flooring much easier. Almost any flooring style can be matched to neutral cream!

The “Absolute” side brings darker tones into the mix. Without overwhelming, splashes of black and grey add depth to the muted shades of cream.

Dark and neutral together create texture for your countertops. Since oak cabinets also have texture, the absolute cream granite is a perfect tie-in. Without competing with the oak, the granite brings its own texture and fits right in!

For The Kitchen

If you’re looking to update your cabinets, try brushed or oil-rubbed bronze (ORB) fixtures with your absolute cream and oak combo. This pairing continues the dark, warm, and light dream team. 

To play up the lighter side, try brushed nickel knobs and drawer pulls.

For The Bathroom

Swap out your vanity light fixture for brushed bronze or ORB. Match it with unique-looking fixtures and drawer pulls and you’ll have one chic powder room!

Azul Neveo Granite

If you’re considering more of a tan meets mocha feel, welcome in the Azul neveo option. This would be an excellent fit for your granite and oak kitchen partnership.

Azul neveo also pairs well with wood floors. The shades found here can easily capture the warmth of a wood floor with the warmth of oak cabinetry. It’s not hard to see why Azul neveo is a favorite amongst granite colors.

For the Kitchen

Your kitchen will feel so warm, friends will wonder if you’ve added a fireplace! The Azul neveo granite is also a fun way to bring warmer accent tones into your eating area. 

ORB is the best pairing for these countertops. Throw in some warmer tan and mocha accent rugs and hand towels and you’re all set!

Azul neveo granite provides a warm and inviting environment when paired with the warm, comfy feel of oak cabinets. Settle in with a good book and consider your kitchen remodel a success!

For the Bathroom

Find a backsplash with similar shades for your bathroom vanity. Sticking with a solid color is a good idea since Azul neveo granite has some great movement in its design.

Calico Granite

When paired with honey oak cabinets, calico granite is the cat’s meow! What a wonderful way to tie in warm oak tones while also displaying black and white at the same time!

If the stark contrast of black and white is enjoyable but too much commitment, calico granite is what you need. By prominently displaying gold tones amidst a white base with distinctive black splashes, you can have the shades you want to be wrapped into one style!

For the Kitchen

We recommend darker cabinet hardware with calico granite. If you’re feeling like a daredevil, try a darker, antique bronze.

While anything bronze may seem like a 90’s faux pas, if done correctly, antique bronze will bring your kitchen oak into the 2020s. The antique bronze will work best when used minimally. Make sure cabinet hinges are hidden so as not to overpower or clash with your new additions.

For the Bathroom

Touches of antique bronze would work well in your bathroom, too. You may even try changing the wall plates of your outlets and light switches. Matching wall plates with cabinet hardware and closet door knobs will noticeably complement the new granite!

Coffee Brown Granite

This is the perfect option for dark, but not too dark! If you want the dark of pure black without the stark of pure black, coffee is your best option.

Coffee brown granite provides contras and warmth at the same time. Since oak cabinets have natural warmth in their tones, it’s easy to pick up with warmth provided by deep mocha shades here.

For the Kitchen

Black and stainless steel family appliances will work best with coffee brown granite. If you’re considering fixture replacement, stick with black shades as well. A black kitchen faucet would look great with oak cabinets and coffee brown granite countertops!

For the Bathroom

How about a black rug and towels? If that seems too stark to be chic, stick with warm, neutral accent colors to bring in the deeper tones of oak and coffee brown granite.

Black Pearl Granite

Here is your option for stark contrast! If you love the look of black and oak (and you should!), this is for you.

Black granite is classic. It creates a timeless, clean element. Black granite commands attention. 

Black granite and oak have a mutual respect relationship. They acknowledge one is not like the other. Yet, they live in perfect harmony!

Black pearl is excellent for those who want contrast but don’t want a black and white space.

For the Kitchen

Hardware and fixtures will determine the direction of your style. For continued contrast, try brushed nickel. It will give an extra punch of contrast without fighting for attention.

Black accents will look very sharp with oak and black pearl granite as well. Adding more black splashed to your kitchen will help tie in the counter contrast up to the cabinets. 

For the Bathroom

Darker flooring would add an interesting contrast element with the oak/black pearl combo! If that’s too drastic, you can’t go wrong with any cooler neutral flooring option. Black hardware and wall plates will add a nice, finishing touch to your washroom.

Decisions, Decisions…

Now you know! When it comes to that kitchen refresh, you can have your cake and eat it, too. Just as long as you’re eating your cake on that new granite countertop!

There’s no need to replace oak cabinets to get a new kitchen feel. You can still personalize your kitchen or bathroom space to suit your style and personality. 

With just a few small touches and a new granite countertop, you’ll feel like you’re standing in a brand new room!
