Try to visualize an all white kitchen with dark marble countertops. That would definitely look great.
The trick part would be the walls because having a white wall in addition to everything else being white would be overkill. You can however balance things out by using kitchen backsplash tiles in areas such as behind the stove or underneath the cabinets. You shouldn’t over do this also and behind backsplash underneath the cabinets might not be a good idea if you have marble countertops.

Matching the color of your chairs with a the color of the kitchen backsplash can make a huge difference. And something as simple as that can truly make a white kitchen shine. Your entire theme could also use shades of white. The backsplash would look great in a creme, seashell or cosmic latte color. Magnolia is also a great option as is old lace, champagne, concrete and navajo white.
