Kitchen Granite Countertop Ideas: Tips and Clues

Kitchen granite countertop ideas may vary by picking the right color of granite. Since you do not use only  plain white or black color cabinets, wall painting and floor, you have some restricted color choice for granite countertop designs. The ideal coordination is to select granite that contrasts enough with the cabinets and the natural speckles should have the hues of the cabinet color. Remember all granite slabs are like your eye retinas or fingerprints in that no two are alike. This will make your kitchen very special.

If you have dark cabinets and then add dark granite the kitchen will be depressed by darkness. If you have light cabinets and then add light granite, pale kitchen brings you a boring feeling. Granite countertop ideas  are like yin and yang. The opposites should stay together. This is the first and most trustable rule for selection of granite countertop designs. In some conditions, smooth transition between cabinets and granite countertop colors make sense. This also works well in kitchen remodeling.
