Tips for Choosing Granite Countertop Colors

Countertops encompass a large part of the room’s aesthetic. If you’ve already decided you want granite countertops, you’ll still need to select a color. With nearly an unlimited number of options, it can be overwhelming, so here are some ways to choose the granite colors for your countertops.

  • Consider the light in the room: if you have a darker space with little natural light, you may want to opt for a lighter granite color. This will help make the room appear larger.
  • Create a balance with your cabinets: you can create a stunning look by selecting a granite color that contrasts with your cabinets.
  • Create a focal piece: many homeowners today are choosing their kitchen island as a focal point and using a contrasting color of granite that’s different from the rest of the kitchen countertops.
  • Stay in the same color family: sticking with the same color family is always a smart choice. Opting for blue tones against predominantly brown colors, for example, may cause them to clash. Choose hues that complement each other rather than compete with one another.
