When it comes to choosing a quality countertop, granite has become one of the most popular choices. It’s a very sought-after part of kitchen design and renovation, offering a best-of-both-worlds approach. It’s easy to work into a kitchen and deliver a quality countertop that offers a nice touch of charm that was previously missing.
However, choosing the ideal kitchen backsplash for your granite countertop can prove to be a challenging obstacle to overcome. If you would like help in doing this, then read on below. We’ll take a look at making sure you get the right mix of colors, patters and textures to help fit with your ideal, dream kitchen.
Color co-ordination is among the most important points in getting your granite countertop to mix with the backsplash. We recommend that you try and stick with one particular hue and then work it into the entire backsplash. So, if you were using a kind of grey/white mixture on the countertop, with a small hint of blue veining, then you can use that on the tiles to help mix it in.
At the same time, you can make a contrast work with the right kind of approach. You don’t need to stick to a rigid color collection if you want to get a truly beautiful result; it’s just the usual go-to option to avoid conflict.
For example, if you are using a brash countertop, then you might find that creating the contrast works well. If the slab is quite bold, then you might get more use out of continuing that material further up the wall and/or matching with a monochromatic backsplash. This tends to look better as the boldness is simply too stand-out.
Once you have carried out the above, it’s important that you look closely at the finish of your countertops first before choosing said backsplash. If you have stone countertops that have a nice, smooth and polished finish, then you might find that glass tiles look brilliant on the backsplash. For something a touch more honed, keep it textured or variegated and made from ceramic for the best mixture.
