Granite Countertop Colors For Your Kitchen or Bathroom
When thinking of designing or redecorating your kitchen, consider all the possibilities offered by a granite kitchen countertop. Remember that if it seems too expensive, it’s possible to retain most of the existing design of the kitchen and take advantage of the many granite countertop colors to give the room a whole new feel, with just a replacement of the counter. But if you have a larger or more flexible budget, and have your eye on some specific granite colors, then you can also plan the entire kitchen design so that the materials and colors of your cabinets and appliances complement the color of the granite.
The possibilities for color and contrast are almost endless, depending on the colors and materials of your cabinets countertops. In a primarily white kitchen, for example, you may want some dramatic contrast in the granite countertop colors, and choose something quite dark. If the cabinets are of a darker color, on the other hand, your choice in colors might tend toward the light side, as in a pale marbled counter, or more dramatic, like an olive green-toned Brazilian granite. Or you may keep the darker tone, and choose black.
If your kitchen color scheme is very dramatic, then you may not want colors of granite that will add more overwhelming drama. What may be called for is something to provide a calm contrast, so a countertop in black or grey would be ideal. If you’ve done your kitchen in warmer or more neutral colors, then your countertop could have more of a brown tone. You can even find pink, green, or blue-toned colors if you’re willing to spend time looking.
The same principles of contrast or complement will apply to any bathroom planning you do as well. You may choose colors for your vanity tops that will either contrast with or complement your cabinetry. Here, of course, you’ll have to consider colors or style of the bathroom fixtures too. But you might also consider a slate tile wall to line the tub area or your shower stall, or the slate floor tile option.
There is really very little limitation if you want to use granite for the vanity in the bathroom, or have a granite countertop installed. Each piece of granite is unique and can add a dramatic element to your decor. And the available granite countertop colors are so varied that they can match almost any type of design you choose and virtually all materials used for your cabinets, appliances and fixtures. Granite should be one of the possible choices when you’re redecorating, as the beauty and durability of the stone is unsurpassed.
