Picking color might just be one of the biggest kitchen decisions you will ever make. Countertop colors can set the entire mood, alter the feeling of space and pull the rest of the modern kitchen together. Here at Xiamen Nishi Group Co., Ltd. the stone experts, with almost decade of experience, we take look at the kitchen colors currently and always being adopted.
Timeless White and Off-White Countertops
For a clean and light look that complements a wide variety of kitchen decor styles, stick with white and off-white countertop styles. Available in variety of shades such as pure white, cream, ivory, or beige, white countertop colors give kitchens that light and airy feeling.
One thing popular about white quartz and marble-look engineered stone countertops is the fact that they help to make kitchen areas brighter without dominating the rest of the design aspects of the space. They serve as great neutral canvas for cabinets, tile, other decorative features. White surfaces create the illusion of bigger space, beneficial for more tight kitchen spaces, as well as city living apartments.
But the beauty of white countertops does not end with ease in combining with different finishes. High-gloss white is perfect fit for modern interior and in combination with dark cabinetry is very strong and safe combination. However, with matte white kitchen countertop or even with honed white you can easily bring even greater elegance into minimalist setting. Natural wood, dark cabinetry or various metal inserts – white countertops always look great with everything.
Dramatic Dark and Black Countertops
Dark Countertops Black countertop options are proving hot choice within today’s kitchens as they serve as dramatic, strong design elements that make powerful visual statement. Earthy shades like absolute black, espresso and char make kitchens appear more exciting, dynamic and richer.
The sleek and dramatic look of dark countertops from black granite and dark engineered stone to soapstone and concrete-can add just the right touch of luxury to your kitchen. Dark and light cabinet combinations produce dramatic contrast that works well in both contemporary and classic styles. Dark counters also have the ability to mask tiny imperfections and smudges.
Instead, turn to an even more conservative dark look. Dark countertops featuring minimal veining and speckled patterns will add some texture and design element, and don't dominate small kitchen like solid dark surfaces would.
Warm Earth Tones and Natural Neutrals
For kitchen designers, warm earth tones and neutrals - which include various shades of beige, taupe, warm gray and brown - are very much of the moment and in keeping with an emphasis on natural elements and grounded kitchen interior design.
Natural travertine and warm-hued granite: The natural nuances found in travertines, in particular, add rustic charm and visual interest to kitchen layouts. Even better, engineered stone with similar warm neutral tones comes in wide variety of patterns and designs that can closely emulate the natural textures of the stone or quartz with uniform look. They work very well alongside natural wood cabinets, stone tiles, or organic finishes.
Warm neutrals are always good idea, especially in an open-plan space, as they help to blend the kitchen area seamlessly into other living zones. Because neutral color schemes are understated they have the longevity to outlast shifting design trends.
Bold and Statement Colors
For many homeowners hoping to make splash, colorful countertop is great way to create an impact with personality and creativity. Bold blue, earthy greens and terracotta are just some of the color trend highlights to consider in kitchen design.
Calming and sleek, blue quartz and green engineered stone can create beautiful kitchen spaces with calm and sophisticated feel. These color tones can particularly help to create well balanced kitchens if teamed with neutral cabinet styles and natural materials. For earthy interiors which echo sense of Mediterranean warmth, try terracotta and warm ocher tones.
If you’re going for daring colors, keep in mind the rest of the design in the room and how this choice might age. A statement color might be applied in kitchen islands or on your backsplash, it will give your creative side run for its money, without fully loaded application of such bold color.
Summary
The countertop color you select for your modern, harmonious interior should be as carefully considered as the other elements in your interior scheme. Black and deep, dark options create dramatic visual appeal, classic whites and off-whites are ever stylish, while rich earth tones and bolder statement color will inject some warmth and panache into the scheme. At Xiamen Nishi Group Co., Ltd. we have an array of natural stones and engineered quartz products, to offer you just the countertop color to match your interior dreams.
