Granite Countertop Colors and Patterns: How to Choose the Right Granite for Your Kitchen

The benefits of installing granite countertops are endless and will enhance the beauty of any kitchen, but this is only true if the right color and pattern is picked to complement your kitchen.

There is a wide array of granite countertop colors, color variations, and patterns available for every homeowner. However, this can be very overwhelming for some individuals, which can result in a color or pattern that doesn’t fit well with their kitchen.

There are a few questions you should have answered before choosing your new countertops:

· What is the color of the cabinets?

· How large is the kitchen?

· What is the color of the walls?

· How much natural light does the kitchen get?

· What type of flooring is in the kitchen

You want something that will complement the color and style of your cabinets, as well as your kitchen walls and flooring. If you have a larger kitchen, something dark will make your kitchen look smaller and the opposite is noted for light colored granite. Natural light is also very important; the more light your kitchen has, the more options for colors. If you choose a dark colored granite for a kitchen that has little or no light, it can result in a drab and dreary look.

If you’re not sure on a color or pattern that’s right for you, picking a neutral color like beige or brown is always a safe bet. Black is also another color that usually goes well with any kitchen arrangement, giving off a sophisticated and classy look.

If you’re really not confident or want to make sure you make the “best” choice for your new granite kitchen countertop, expert advice can be obtained by simply consulting your granite installation service or manufacturer.
