How to Choose Countertop Color
When it comes to renovations, the kitchen is oftentimes the top of the wish list for homeowners. In fact, a kitchen remodel is one of the most lucrative projects you can do in your home because it has the highest returns on the money you can spend remodeling. When taking on a project, the details are often what give your space the finishing and polished look. Attention to detail such as your flooring, appliances, and kitchen countertop can reflect your personality, overall design, and how it floors with the rest of your home. If you’re still confused about what color countertop to choose, check out these tips from The Spruce to consider.
Paint and Accessories Can Change Over Time
When you're choosing a countertop color, you'll be matching it to a color scheme for the room. Matching the countertops to a paint color can be gorgeous, but keep in mind that your color tastes may change and the room could be repainted. Strongly colored countertops that are chosen to match with paint, accessory, or furniture colors, can become outdated easily. Consider a countertop with veins or splashes of your favorite color, so you can keep your options open.
Recognize the Undertones of the Elements of the Room
Undertones can be your best friend in decorating or the bane of your existence. The key to making friends with undertones is learning to know the difference. If you have cherry wood cabinetry, your blue or green countertops are going to make them appear very very red or even pink. If your flooring or cabinetry has a yellow or orange undertone, cool gray or blue counters will intensify that undertone. A basic understanding of the color wheel can help you avoid a color clash with your new countertops. Veined or speckled countertop patterns can give you the pops of color you need, without creating color drama in your kitchen or bath.
Consider How You'll Accessorize the Room
Solid color countertops can look simple and modern but can look cold in a room without other patterns going on. If you love the look of a stylized tile backsplash, or wallpaper, or even patterned upholstery and fabric accents, a solid color countertop can balance the room. If you like to keep other elements of the room simple, then countertops with a natural pattern or multiple colors can give you balance, too.
