How Granite Can Complement Your Cabinets

Decide on the Overall Aesthetics

Start your search for granite by figuring out your kitchen’s overall style and color scheme. If you’re aiming for a clean, sleek style, go for lighter shades in your cabinetry and countertops. Contemporary styles, on the other hand, can work with dark-colored granite and in spaces with abundant natural light. Use a color chart to pick shades that complement each other. To make the overall palette cohesive, choose two dominant colors and one accent hue to break the monotony. 

 Go for Contrast

Dark granite, in shades of black and gray, looks elegant amidst white or light-colored wood cabinets, creating a dramatic look for modern kitchens with stainless steel accents. A white countertop, however, provides a stark contrast against cherry wood or dark stained cabinets. But, there are instances when similar shades or complementary colors can also work, like a white on white combination to open up a small kitchen area.
