Birch Cabinets

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.

Birch cabinets work particularly well in the kitchen because they’re hard to scratch, they look good, and they hold up well even amid heat and high levels of humidity. Birch is a medium-dense wood, which means that it won’t be too heavy to deal with (important when you think about the number of kitchen cabinet doors you open each day!). However, it’s also strong enough to stand up to repeated levels of heavy use.

Hiring a professional to install your new birch cabinets is usually the smartest option. When taking on the project without the help of a trained professional, be aware that the process can be pretty complicated. It requires several tools and a lot of physical strength. You should ensure you are entirely confident in the installation process before you take on the project.

Installing cabinets can be an intricate process and requires various steps before completion. This is why many birch cabinet manufacturing companies will have a professional in-house to install your cabinets after you order them. If not, they will typically recommend a skilled tradesperson they frequently work with who can safely perform the installation.
