Tips 1: What is your overall kitchen design?
Consider your kitchen scheme if its modern kitchen, contemporary kitchen or classic kitchen design. Choose the stone color that complement or contract very well with your cabinet color, flooring and other small accessories.
Tips 2: what is the color tone in the room? Match or Contrast….
When choosing the stone counter top color, we need to consider the colors in the area, like walls, floor and cabinet. Either to match the same tone color or doing completely different color that can have more contrast.
To match the same tone color, if your cabinets are mostly white with stainless steel appliances and polished finish handle hardware, lighting and faucet. You could do pure white stone or calacatta pattern white stone. Sometime the neutral tone stone would be the nice one to linked all together
To have contrast stone counter top, for example if we have pure white kitchen cabinet with light floor color, we could match with darker tone counter top or darker pattern stone. This way adds more interesting without feeling bored, and it is very catching the eye by first look. On the opposite way, if your kitchen cabinet are darker color, then we could match with pure white or less veining stone. Sometimes the more contract we have in the kitchen, the better visual effect.
Tips 3: Look at samples (slabs) in person
When you visit local custom kitchen showroom, we always seen lots of small samples for each s tone color, sometime the small sample couldn’t tell too much on the tone and the patterns size. So, it is very important to check out the real slab by visit local stone supplier. It will help you to determine and minimize the choices. Don’t forget to bring your color sample and floor sample to match.
