Installing granite countertops in your Wayne home can be an excellent investment. They are durable, have a classic aesthetic, and have a relatively low impact on the environment. Granite also has a wide variety of colors and patterns that can complement your home’s aesthetic.
However, it can sometimes prove difficult to choose the right stone for the vision you have of your kitchen or bathroom because of how many options are available. Here’s how you can use a few different varieties of granite to develop your home’s style:
Black Granite
Black granite countertops are a great option if you’re looking to create a sleek or elegant aesthetic for your kitchen or bathroom. It allows you to create a sharp contrast with the lighter space around the countertops, making black granite a perfect complement to a room with a lot of lighter colors or pale wood cabinetry since this will help create a sleek, modern feel.
It is essential to keep in mind that darker counters will mean the room will feel darker, which means that it’s ideally used where there’s a lot of natural light to compensate.
Red Granite
Red granite is what many people think of when they think about the stone because it has such a rich history. It’s been used in various contexts — from ancient Egypt to wall paneling in banks — and it gives a traditional yet imposing aesthetic when added to a room like your kitchen.
Ideally, if you opt for a red granite countertop in any shade, ranging from pink to deep burgundy, it should be the room’s focal point. This means that you should keep cabinets, walls, and other parts of the room as neutral as possible to avoid drawing attention away from the countertops’ impact.
Whites and Browns
These lighter granite colors offer versatility to your décor that can help you change styles up with some frequency. White can create a modernist look when paired with stainless steel appliances and minimalist furniture, but it still looks good if you opt for more traditional or retro options. Brown, by contrast, is often a neutral base from which you can create the rest of the room to your liking. It’s worth opting for warmer or darker colors to help create a sharper contrast in both cases.
