Whether you prefer bold, statement-making hues or subtle neutral shades, you can always find a perfect match for your cherry wood cabinets.
Cherry wood cabinets were trendy back in the day but gradually became a less popular choice as more people moved from traditional designs to more contemporary and minimalist ones.
However, with a fresh coat of paint and a few bright ideas, you can easily transform your kitchen design and make your cherry cabinets look beautiful and modern.
We have compiled a list of 10 cherry cabinet kitchen color schemes that you can draw inspiration from as you plan for your next remodel.
Take a look!
1. Bring Warmth with Granite
Hints of granite will always work with cherry wood.
These cabinets boast a cherry-stained mink with a black glaze, which contrasts perfectly with the Crème Bordeaux granite countertops and the tumbled travertine backsplash.
The porcelain tile floor adds some extra warmth and unifies the whole look.
2. Invite Calming Vibes with Green
Green, being on the opposite of the color spectrum from red, makes it the perfect complementary hue for cherry cabinets.
The rectangular green glass tile backsplash beautifully sets off the cherry cabinetry in this design and matches well with the Green Coast granite countertops.
The dark walnut stain on the floors complements the cabinets, while the Benjamin Moore Shaker Beige walls provide a remarkable contrast.
3. Dazzle with White and Black
White walls are probably the best backdrop you can give your cherry cabinets!
The white walls, countertops, and backsplash add charming brightness to this modern kitchen and a subtle contrast to the cherry wood cabinets and black island.
4. Make it Gloomy
Pairing your cherry cabinets with black accents is an excellent way of bringing a touch of drama to your kitchen.
The black backsplash and countertops create a serene, moody vibe and infuse this kitchen with a lot of personality.

Stone colors are a great inspiration to draw from nature, and with a little pattern and style, you can transform your kitchen into a pristine cooking haven.
The patterned backsplash in this design makes the cherry cabinets pop, together with the granite kitchen island countertop, adding a fun element to this kitchen’s design.
Make your design stand out more by incorporating lots of natural light.
6. Keep it Cool with Gray
Neutrals are a safe route to take when it comes to kitchen color schemes, but that’s no reason to shy away from them.
Classic gray shades like the one on this kitchen’s countertops, floor, and backsplash lend a modern feel to your cook space, as well as the cherry wood cabinets.
Accent your gray palette with stainless steel and silver kitchen appliances to help balance the overall look and keep your space looking bright.
7. Go All Out
This fabulous contemporary kitchen uses cherry wood cabinets and an island to create a sleek, cohesive space.
The cherry wood in this design steals the show, while the white oak wooden floor finishes off the monochromatic look. The tile backsplash and marble countertop add some color.
8. Bring Retro Vibes
Instead of using green as an accent color for your cherry cabinets, why not make it a dominant color?
The pale green on this mid-century kitchen’s walls makes the space look calm and minimal while adding intrigue. The light wooden floor softens up the space even more, with deep red accents evoking that traditional feel.
9. Dark Wood for the Win
All-white kitchens might have been the order of the day back then, but darker hues have been making considerable strides in the world of interior design.
A good example is the combination of dark wood cherry cabinets and a dark-stained wooden floor, as seen in this design. Don’t forget to accent your dark woods with some whites and metallics to brighten the kitchen.
10. Add Elegance to Your Modern Kitchen
If you want a simple way to freshen a kitchen with cherry cabinets, consider matching your backsplash with countertops.
The Crème Bordeaux granite countertop pairs nicely with the patterned tile backsplash, bringing this kitchen an elegant yet sophisticated feel.
