Once you’ve decided that you are going to have a granite countertop installation done, then the sky is pretty much the limit, and you have all sorts of options. When it comes to the design of the kitchen decor itself, you can work with the existing design and pick from the many available granite countertop colors. This can be a great expense saver. Or if you’ve got a larger budget to work with, and have already chosen a definite granite color, then you can choose the other elements for the kitchen with that color in mind.

You can run the gamut with colors and contrasts, depending on what cabinets you have. For example, in a kitchen where the cabinetry is white, you may choose a dramatic contrast in your granite countertop colors, by choosing something that’s very dark. For cabinets of deeper color, you might choose something dramatic, like olive green-toned Brazilian granite, or you might keep the tone dark with a countertop in black. A black countertop would also work beautifully with stainless steel appliances.

If your kitchen color scheme is very dramatic, then you may not want colors of granite that will add more overwhelming drama. What may be called for is something to provide a calm contrast, so a countertop in black or grey would be ideal. If you’ve done your kitchen in warmer or more neutral colors, then your countertop could have more of a brown tone. You can even find pink, green, or blue-toned colors if you’re willing to spend time looking.

The same principles of contrast or complement will apply to any bathroom planning you do as well. You may choose colors for your vanity tops that will either contrast with or complement your cabinetry. Here, of course, you’ll have to consider colors or style of the bathroom fixtures too. But you might also consider a slate tile wall to line the tub area or your shower stall, or the slate floor tile option.

If you decide to choose granite for the bathroom vanity, or you want a granite countertop for the kitchen, you’ll encounter very few limitations. Every piece of granite will provide a unique and dramatic element in the decor of these rooms. The available granite countertop colors are so varied that you’re almost guaranteed to find one that works with your design, and complements or contrasts the colors and materials of your appliances and cabinets. Granite should definitely be on your list of possibilities as you begin your bathroom or kitchen planning.
