This dark granite countertop in homeowner Stacy Smith’s kitchen still works because she’s surrounded it with more modern, white and light elements like the cabinets and sink faucet.
Modern kitchen granite started to become standard in development houses, which was quite a selling feature to the first-time buyer. It showed up at big-box home improvement stores, and then listed on special, and finally, it showed up in “before” pictures of kitchen remodels.
Bright and peaceful kitchens like this one with marble countertops and a backsplash. Kitchen and styling by Holly Thompson.
The lightest and coolest color in your granite for your cabinet color.
This metal countertop was reclaimed from a vintage table.
