Best White Paint for Caesarstone Amaretto | How to Create a Cohesive Colour Scheme
When you choose a statement stone for your kitchen benchtop, every other element in your space needs to work around it. One of my favourite statement pieces is Caesarstone Arabetto (5171)—a warm, elegant, and visually striking stone that can completely transform an open-plan living space.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through:
How to select the perfect white for a two-pack kitchen with Arabetto
What undertones to match for a cohesive design
Splashback, flooring, and fabric pairing ideas
How to extend the colour scheme into your living and dining areas
Why testing your materials is the key to success
Why Caesarstone Arabetto Works as a Statement Stone
Arabetto has a lovely warm white base with striking movement and layered detail. Within its pattern, you’ll notice:
Grey-green undertones
Pops of deep, rich green—perfect for green lovers
A warm, inviting feel that pairs beautifully with natural textures
Because Arabetto has so much character, it becomes the focal point of your kitchen. That’s why your cabinet colour, splashback, and soft furnishings must complement rather than compete with it.
Finding the Perfect White for Your Cabinetry
When working with a stone like Arabetto, you can’t just choose any white. The undertone needs to match perfectly to achieve a seamless, high-end look.
Here’s how I find the perfect match:
Sort all whites into categories (cool whites, pure whites, warm whites, etc.)—this is exactly what I teach in my online course.
Place your Arabetto sample horizontally and test whites vertically, just like they would be in your cabinetry.
Select the white that has the exact same undertone as the warm white in the stone.
For Arabetto, I’ve already tested and found the winning warm white—it’s a perfect match and will look stunning on both upper and lower cabinets.
Choosing Hardware & Metal Finishes
For metals, both brushed nickel and brushed brass can work, but I personally favour brushed nickel with Arabetto—it’s timeless and pairs beautifully with grey-green tones.
When choosing hardware, think about your home’s style:
Modern – Sleek brushed nickel handles or integrated pulls
Classic or Hamptons – Brushed nickel knobs with subtle detailing
Splashback Options – Bring in the Green
Arabetto’s deep green detailing gives you an opportunity to create a stunning splashback. My top choices:
Matte Japanese tiles in a soft green for a contemporary feel
Gloss Japanese tiles for a touch of elegance
Both options pick up the deep green in the stone, creating a cohesive and luxurious look.
Flooring and Tiles
If you prefer flooring over tiles in your kitchen, a light grey-green tone works beautifully with Arabetto. If you do choose tiles, make sure they complement the grey-green undertone of the stone.
Extending the Colour Scheme Into Open-Plan Living
With Arabetto in an open-plan setting, your living and dining areas should flow naturally from the kitchen. Here’s how to achieve that:
Wall Paint – Use the same warm white as your cabinetry for a seamless look.
Trim & Doors – Paint architraves, skirtings, and doors in the same colour for continuity.
Fabric & Upholstery – Choose fabrics with warm white bases and subtle green accents for cushions, dining chairs, or occasional chairs.
Sofa Colour – A rich green, like “Lovely Jade,” ties in perfectly with the stone’s deep green details.
Curtains – Sheer curtains in green with matching blockout fabric create a soft, layered effect while repeating the undertone.
The Importance of Testing Everything
The reason this design works is because every colour and material has been tested together before committing. Undertones are complex—what looks right in a shop can look completely wrong at home under different lighting.
By testing each element next to your stone, you avoid costly mistakes and ensure a professional finish.
