What Should I Look for When Buying Granite Countertops

January 25, 2022aliacetrefliBlog Post1 comment

When you enter your local store and look at the granite countertop options, it seems like any of those beautiful and elegant pieces would fit perfectly in your kitchen (or bathroom). Although these materials are exquisite, there are several points to consider while looking for the right countertop. What should I consider when buying granite countertops If you are asking, read this article.

What is your taste in home design?

Maybe the most critical point is what you enjoy seeing around you. Thinking through your preferences would eliminate several options and make your work much more manageable. Be mindful whether you like right angles or straight angles, plain surfaces or some details, dark or light colors, thin or thick veining, stable or movable furniture?

How big is your living space?

Let’s say you want to install the countertop in your bathroom. First, measure your bathroom to determine the right size for your granite slab. It is better to go with a light color if you have a small bathroom, as this would make your space look larger. A dark-colored granite with delicate veining would have the same function. However, you have more freedom if you have a large bathroom. You can go with dark-colored countertops and experiment with patterns.

How much light does your living space have?

If your bathroom does not have enough light, a countertop in white or gold colors will bring the brightness it needs to your room. If your bathroom is luminous enough, a deep blue countertop will impact your living space. Dark colors, in general, serve the same purpose.

And more…

  • The color of your countertop must fit with the other furniture and materials in the living space. Before making the final decision, bring a sample to your home to check the harmony and avoid a mismatch.
  • The decision about the edge is also an important one, both in terms of your taste and the level of safety measures that you want to put in your home. Make your mind on whether you want round corners or sharp edges.
  • Pay attention to the harmony between the sink and the countertop that you will choose. Your sink and countertop’s size and aesthetic features should match to achieve total beauty in your living space!
  • The countertop will be cut in line with the size of your sink. Thus, be careful while measuring it. Any error would waste your time and money.
  • Buy your granite countertop from a local store and consult an expert while deciding on the material. They will help you with choosing the perfect countertop. In the end, they are the ones who know most about your available options.
  • After installing your countertop, do you want it a honed finish or a polished one? A honed granite countertop would appear matte and feel like satin. It requires regular resealing. This is a reasonable choice if your countertop will not be commonly used. The polished granite countertop instead creates a shiny and striking impact. It protects the surface from damage and stains.
