Choosing the Perfect Granite Countertop Color for Your Kitchen
Albert Garcia • Sep 05, 2017
If you’ve recently considered remodeling your kitchen, you’ve probably thought about adding a touch of elegance with the use of granite. When used correctly, granite countertops can serve as a kitchen’s centerpiece and can tastefully unify both your cabinets and flooring. Finding a style and color of granite that suits your kitchen’s needs can be difficult, which is why Royal Granite has listed a few simple tips and tricks so that you can easily find a style of granite to complement your kitchen.
Below, we’ll discuss how lighting can affect the mood of a room, and why you should consider your kitchen’s lighting before deciding on a color of granite. We’ll also talk about the free services granite companies often provide to make your purchasing decision informed and easy.
Consider Your Kitchen’s Lighting
When choosing the right color and style of granite for your kitchen countertops, it is important that you first take your kitchen’s natural light into account. While a darker colored granite may be aesthetically pleasing in a kitchen with plenty of natural light, it might not look best in a kitchen that lacks an abundance of natural light. Alternatively, while lighter colored granite countertops will look stunning if your kitchen doesn’t receive a lot of natural light, they may look too bright in a well-lit kitchen. For this reason, we recommend visualizing how your remodeled countertops would look in natural daylight so that you may find the perfect color to give your kitchen a unified look and feel. Natural lighting is easy to overlook when choosing the perfect granite for your new kitchen; however, you’ll be far more pleased with your results when taking your kitchen’s lighting into consideration before purchasing your kitchen’s granite.
Matching Granite to Cabinetry and Flooring
After you’ve determined how much natural light your kitchen receives throughout the day, you should start matching countertop styles and colors with your kitchen’s cabinetry and flooring. It may be difficult to visualize how granite will look once installed in your kitchen, which is why we recommend bringing one of your kitchen’s cabinet doors with you while shopping for the perfect color. If you still can’t decide on a color or style that’s right for your kitchen, ask your granite provider if they can give you granite samples to take home so that you can more accurately gauge how various styles will look in your kitchen. This will allow you to easily rule out colors you were initially considering, and find a style that blends seamlessly with the current look of your kitchen.
