Choosing the Right Granite Color for Kitchens
Adding granite countertops in Sioux Falls homes is always an attractive update and savvy investment. However, choosing the right granite pattern and color are essential for a well-pulled together look. At Stone City Kitchen & Bath, we recommend that the color palette of the granite countertops should incorporate colors of the wall paints, backsplash, floors and cabinets. Uniting all of these factors into a color scheme will easily achieve a coordinated look, whether the room is modern, classic or traditional.
Classic Grey Granite
Grey granite is versatile and works well in many kitchen themes. This granite color is available in a wide variety of shadings, including pink and black. Grey granite countertops in Sioux Falls blend well with light wood or white cabinetry. For a clean look, add stainless steel appliances or clear glass tiles on the backsplash. Black accessories play down the color scheme, while red and chartreuse accessories add a visual impact.
Urban Black Granite
Black granite is complimentary with honey-colored cabinetry. With its bronze specks scattered throughout the slab, it’s always a classy look. To trump up the look, add a flesh, colored, tumbled marble backsplash. It always looks well with a light floor, wall or backsplash. Just be sure that plenty of light comes in the room to avoid a dark look.
Trendy Chocolate Granite
Chocolate granite is one of the most popular colors in countertops for kitchens today. Laced with specks of black and cream, it gives the kitchen a warm look. Chocolate granite is versatile and blends well with dark wood and cream wood cabinets. Other common colors in chocolate granite include soft blues and pinks.
Clean White Granite
White granite countertops always sport a touch of elegance. White complements all cabinet colors, including white. With brushed aluminum cabinet hardware and stainless steel appliances, it’s easy to achieve a modern feel. Break up the color with different color walls and backsplashes, but be sure to continue the all-white theme with white appliances and white floors.
While white, grey, chocolate and black are traditional colors for granite countertops, there are other colors that are dynamic and add drama to a kitchen. Green, blue and red are just a few of the exotic colors available. At Stone City Kitchen & Bath, we offer a kaleidoscope of both traditional and dynamic colors for countertops in Sioux Falls.
