In kitchens where natural light is scarce, selecting a light or pale granite countertop is advisable. Similarly, choosing kitchen cabinetry in lighter shades can enhance this effect, creating an impression of a more spacious environment.
Opting for dark hues in a compact kitchen may contribute to a feeling of constriction, whereas dark Granite countertops can be strikingly effective in larger kitchens with ample natural or artificial light.
For smaller or poorly lit kitchens, lighter colours like whites, creams, and yellows are recommended based on our experience. In contrast, more spacious and well-lit kitchens afford a broader palette of colour choices.
While a brightly coloured Granite Worktops may reflect your unique style and look impressive, it might not appeal to future buyers. If you’re considering selling your home in the near future, choosing a neutral countertop could enhance its marketability.
However, you don’t have to sacrifice personal style; incorporating vivid accessories or painting the kitchen walls in lively colours allows you to personalise the space. This approach ensures that when it’s time to sell, the walls can be easily repainted in more universally appealing hues, and your colourful accessories can move with you. It’s also worth considering that your tastes might evolve over time.
Traditional Versus Contemporary
There’s no rule stating that styles can’t be blended – a traditional farmhouse-style kitchen can still boast a contemporary granite countertop colour. Similarly, a modern kitchen with handle-less cabinets can be complemented by a marble-effect Granite countertop.
While it’s often advisable to align your countertop with the kitchen’s existing aesthetic for a cohesive look, the ultimate goal is for your Granite worktop to make a positive statement, as it often becomes the centrepiece of the kitchen.
In making your selection, consider the broader colour scheme of your kitchen, including the cabinetry, walls, tiles, and flooring, to ensure a harmonious design.
