What Kitchen Countertop Colour should you choose?

White countertops whether it is veined, speckled, or pure has always been the standard colour choice for many kitchens. Pure white countertops can be described as contemporary minimalistic style with a touch of fresh modernism. It is also effective in creating the illusion of enlarging spaces making it favourable for smaller kitchens spaces when paired with white cabinets.

Veined white countertops are a neutral and contemporary finish that pairs well with both transitional and traditional interiors. It allows the space to look clean making it feel comfortable and fresh with a hint of sophistication especially when paired with brass accents.

Dark countertops are a good option to add dimension and a layered look. It pairs well with cooler neutral back splashes or when trying to highlight the painted colours of cabinets. Dark countertops are able to connect with the other black elements in the space allowing for a more chic and dramatic finish. When creating a dark on dark palette, light source regardless if it is natural or artificial is essential to avoid feeling cave like but more elegant.

Wood countertops work well for cottage or Scandinavian styled homes depending on whether it is paired with traditional or modern interiors. It is also a great option for island counters as an accent piece for the kitchen space. Lighter wood creates a more inviting and casual feeling whereas darker wood is more formal working better in brighter areas. If the wood counters are mixed with other wood finishes, it is ideal to pick between traditional warm tones (reds and browns) or modern cool tones (white and greys).

Midtone countertops such as beige and soft greys are the most neutral options which complement metallic accents. Concrete like grey stone countertops is suitable for contemporary spaces, appearing put together without having to be perfectly organized.

With grey being the most neutral colour, it can not only connect light and dark cabinets together but can also soften the overall space giving a sense of friendliness.
