Design Tips for Choosing a Granite Color
First of all, determine if you want a dark or light granite. If your kitchen is dark to begin with, a dark top will only make it darker. So, rule of thumb, dark kitchen is best suited with a lighter granite. If you have a light kitchen, meaning it gets a lot of light, you can go either light or dark.
Next, decide if you want a granite that has movement and/or veining in it, or if you want something that is more consistent in pattern. Things to consider are: if your floor has a busy pattern to it, you want a granite that is not busy. You don't want the two to compete. Also, if you have an existing backsplash that you want to keep, look at the pattern in it (if there is one). A small kitchen will only feel smaller if you choose a granite with a lot going on in the pattern.
Take one of your cabinet doors with you when you go to look at granite colors. This way you can visualize the colors together better. Usually, if you have light cabinets, go with a darker granite. Contrast is good. This makes the focal point your countertops.
Put all these tips together to choose the perfect granite countertop. Once you order the stone, ask them for a sample piece so you can take it to your home and view it in your lighting. Your lighting will always be different than that of a store.
