How to Select the Right Color of Granite?

Selecting the right granite countertop color is a personal and ultimately long-lasting decision. In the past, granite selections were limited to local quarries, but in today’s world, the selection is much wider, as we have access to worldwide quarries. While choosing granite, everything matters – pattern, color, brightness, the finish of the stone. Everything should be coordinated with cabinets and flooring and matched with your personal style, it adds:

  • elegance
  • style
  • value

to your home or workplace.

Serious thought must be put into it because, it wouldn’t be a desirable result to pick the granite, install it, and then realize that it wasn’t the right color. When selecting granite, take color samples of the cabinet finish, take into a consideration wall color, flooring and kitchen appliances. Either take pictures or some samples with you to the showroom. Place the samples on or around the granite to get a good idea of what the decorating combination looks like. Dark cabinetry like cherry wood with a black granite may overpower the kitchen, as it might be too dark, but at the same time, if the kitchen is very spacious and light, then it might be the right look. Get light to medium, old-world look with beige granite speckled with browns.

Installing a countertop is a decision that provides a great value, and it will last you a long time.

Dark Granite Kitchen Countertops

If you are going for a darker, smokey look, a dark countertop paired with slightly lighter cabinets is a classic look. Most of the time, certain rooms have some granite countertop color options that seem to simply work well. When the room is spacious with large windows with lots of natural light, a dark countertop can be more easily pulled off.

Dark countertops are elegant, subtle, and provide a timeless look regardless of the room. But with dark paint, backsplashes, and wallpaper, dark home fixtures can create a shrinking effect, eating up the shaded spaces and as a result, visually, the room might seem smaller. It might not work for everybody, but it is a nice look.

Light Kitchen Granite Countertops

Light countertops work ideally if you have white or light-colored tiles on the floor in your kitchen, bathroom, or bar area. A light countertop can produce a very welcoming, rustic feel.
