What Color Countertops Should I Get?

I have a neighbor who just redid her kitchen. Although she used a granite, the colors in it were beautiful and unique. It had several shades of blue/green (light to medium) with flecks of a quartz-like blue/green. It looks almost like moving water. Maybe you could find something like it in blue (and in quartz),

I think quartz is ideal because it gives you some color variation that will add texture. I would go for a middle of the road, leaning toward lighter blue.

I googled "quartz countertops" and found a number with blue samples. You could check them out, find something you like, find out where they are available in your area, and go look.

I am redoing my kitchen. The cabinets are going to be white. The walls are a reddish color. What color would you recommend for the countertop? I like the look of marble/granite, but will be using laminate.

RE: What Color Countertops Should I Get?

Well, I love redecorating, but it is hard to give an idea without seeing or knowing how big a piece. But there are so many styles these days. If cabinets are white, walls a reddish, what is the floor? There are laminates with great earth tones. Try checking out the tone on tone type. I think earth tones would be a great idea with what you have going so far. I mean like the rusts, browns, beiges, etc. The "Santa Fe" type look. But in the end, it is always up to you. Be sure to get something you really like or love. You have to live with it. (02/26/2007)
